From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Heathmont cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 25 km up the road.
A lot of what we see from Heathmont is good paint that has simply been washed the wrong way for a few years. Garaged, well kept, never neglected - and still covered in the fine circular marring a mitt and a hurried towel leave behind. That is exactly what measured correction is for.
CDS is owner-operated. The person who looks at your paint is the person who corrects and coats it — Andy, with 30+ years of experience — so what you are quoted for Heathmont is exactly what gets done.
Around Heathmont station, Heathmont Village Shopping Centre and Apex Park.
On a well-optioned car the paint is one of the first things a buyer judges. Protecting it early is cheaper than correcting it before sale.
The most common issue here is not neglect but wash marring on otherwise sound paint. It is fully correctable, and the result on a dark metallic is dramatic.
Established gardens and nature strips mean sap, blossom and bird droppings, all of which etch into clear coat if they bake on through a warm week.
European clear coats are hard and take more passes to correct properly; Japanese and some EV finishes are soft and easy to over-polish. Each gets its own approach.
You get a straight assessment of what the paint needs, and what it does not.
Wash, iron treatment and clay, so the surface is genuinely clean before it is corrected.
Swirls, holograms and etching are levelled out by machine, measured as we go.
A certified coating, a proper cure, a registered warranty and a simple wash routine.
Andy works mobile in Heathmont and from the Berwick studio, which is about 25 km from you, so it is your choice. Established homes usually have what a mobile job needs - a garage or carport, power and water - so most work here can be done on site while you get on with the day. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
A proper hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo, and a check-over once a year. Avoid automatic brush washes - they are the fastest way to wear any coating down.
Yes - garaged cars have the best paint to protect. A coating keeps that finish from picking up wash marring and makes the car far easier to keep perfect between the days it comes out.
Usually. We measure the clear coat first, because a previous heavy polish may have taken some of it. If there is enough left, holograms and buffer trails can be refined out; if there is not, we will tell you before starting.
