Professional paint protection for Kallista 3791: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Kallista or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Driving out of Kallista means winding roads, dappled shade and a car that is never quite dry. Sap etches, leaf stain marks light paint, and the damp gives everything longer to bite. Sealing the paint is what stops it keying in.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Kallista himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Johns Hill Reserve.
The Ranges are full of birds, which means frequent droppings on cars parked under trees. Coated paint lets you remove them before they etch.
Fog and damp leave a film on the windscreen that makes wet-weather and night driving harder. Coated glass stays clearer and sheds water.
Gum sap is sticky and acidic. On a warm day it sets hard and etches a ring into the clear coat that no wash will remove.
Wet leaves sitting in the scuttle panel, on the roof or in door shuts leave brown tannin stains, especially on white and silver paint.
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.
We can come to you in Kallista, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 16 km away - both are on offer. 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. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
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.
Yes, and in the hills it is one of the most useful things we do - coated glass sheds fog and rain far better.
