GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Knoxfield drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (19 km from Knoxfield).
Most cars we see from Knoxfield have sound original paint under years of light marring, bird-dropping etching and a bit of fade on the roof and bonnet. That combination responds very well to a proper cut and polish, and a coating stops it coming straight back.
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 Knoxfield is exactly what gets done.
Around Knox Park.
Shopping-centre car parks leave light scuffs and transfer on door edges. Transfer can usually be polished off; a coating makes the next one easier to remove.
Stop-start suburban driving loads wheels with hot brake dust that bakes into the finish. Coated wheels rinse clean instead.
If the plan is to keep the car for years, protecting it once properly costs less than repeated polishing that thins the clear coat each time.
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.
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.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Knoxfield included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (19 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. 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. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
Just avoid automatic brush washes and use a proper car shampoo. The coating makes everything else easier.
Often more than on a show car. A family car gets washed quickly and often, and a coating makes those washes far less damaging while keeping mess from sticking.
Yes - swirls are fine scratches in the clear coat, and machine correction levels them out. The coating afterwards is what stops them coming straight back.
