Professional paint protection for Kew 3101: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Kew or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Kew has one of the highest concentrations of European and performance cars in Melbourne, and owners who look at their paint in direct sun. That is the standard we work to: measured, multi-stage correction, and a coating chosen for how the finish reads, not just how long it lasts.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Kew himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.

A new prestige car is often washed and quick-polished several times before handover. The holograms that leaves are correctable, and it is worth doing before anything is sealed over them.
The weekly hand wash at a busy car wash uses the same mitts and towels on every car in the queue. It is the most common source of swirls on otherwise immaculate cars.
Gloss-black pillars, grilles and interior trim scratch if you look at them. They can be refined and coated along with the paint.
Matte and satin paint cannot be machine-polished - polishing makes it glossy and cannot be undone. Tell us before you book so the car is handled correctly from the first wash.
We inspect the paint under proper lighting and measure the clear coat, then tell you what it actually needs.
Iron-fallout treatment and a clay strip, so nothing is ever sealed in under the coating.
Machine polishing in measured stages to remove swirls and etching rather than fill them.
GYEON or ONYX applied panel by panel and cured under cover — in the studio, or in your garage on a mobile job — with the warranty registered.
We can come to you in Kew, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 38 km away - both are on offer. A garaged home suits a mobile visit well. For a multi-stage correction, where controlled lighting shows every last mark, the studio is the better room to work in. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
For a garaged car where clarity in direct sun matters most we generally lean GYEON; for one that is driven daily and parked outside, ONYX 10H graphene for durability. Often either is a good answer and we will say so.
Yes. The coating goes over the film as well as the paint. It adds chemical resistance the film lacks and makes the whole car easier to wash.
We can wash and protect it correctly, but matte paint cannot be polished, so scratches cannot be corrected the way they can on gloss. Mention it when you book so there are no surprises.
