Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Highett 3190 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 29 km away.
Highett is established family country - the kind of suburb where a car does school runs, weekend sport and the supermarket, often for a decade. That is hard, honest wear, and most of it is surface damage that correction can take back out.
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 Highett is exactly what gets done.
Around Highett station and Highett Reserve.
Fast washes with one bucket and whatever towel is closest put circular marring into the paint that only shows in the sun. It is the single most common thing we correct.
When the garage holds one car, the rest live on the driveway or the street, taking full sun and whatever falls from the trees.
Droppings are acidic and etch into hot paint within an afternoon. Coated paint gives you the time to wipe them off safely.
Roofs, bonnets and boot lids take the most sun. On reds and dark colours that shows up as a flat, chalky finish that a wash no longer shifts.
Paint depth readings and a close look under the lights before anything touches the car.
A full wash, then chemical and clay decontamination to strip out what washing leaves behind.
Correction matched to your paint - gentler on soft clear coats, more passes on hard ones.
The coating goes on panel by panel and cures under cover before the car goes back on the road.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Highett or at the Berwick studio, about 29 km away. Most family homes have a garage or carport, which is all a mobile job needs, and it saves you juggling a second car for the drop-off. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
Yes. We deep-clean and coat leather, fabric and trim so spills, dye transfer and grime stop soaking in.
Most coatings are a one to three day job depending on how much correction the paint needs. You will get an exact timeframe when we assess it.
If the clear coat is oxidised but still intact, a restoration polish usually brings the colour back. If it has started to peel, no polish will fix it and we will tell you straight.
