GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Hoddles Creek drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (30 km from Hoddles Creek).
Cars in Hoddles Creek live under trees. Tall canopy means constant shade and damp, and with it eucalypt sap, leaf litter and bark that sit on the paint and hold moisture against it for days.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Hoddles Creek himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Beenak Nature Conservation Area.
Wet leaves sitting in the scuttle panel, on the roof or in door shuts leave brown tannin stains, especially on white and silver paint.
Shade keeps the car wet for longer after rain and morning fog, which gives sap, droppings and fallout far more time to bite.
Cars parked under canopy grow moss in window rubbers and panel gaps, and mould inside if they are left closed and damp.
Falling bark and small branches scratch roofs and bonnets, and dropped debris in the cowl blocks drains.
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.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Hoddles Creek included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (30 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. In the hills it is the damp and the tree canopy. A coating cannot cure under dripping trees, so a mobile job needs a garage or a good carport - otherwise the studio keeps it dry. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
Usually. Tannin staining responds well to decontamination and a polish, and a coating makes it much harder for new stains to set.
We clean seals and door shuts as part of a proper detail, and treating the rubbers helps stop it coming back.
More than almost anywhere else. Shade, damp and sap are exactly the conditions a coating is built to handle.
