GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Lilydale drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (32 km from Lilydale).
Most cars we see from Lilydale 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.
Every Lilydale booking is handled by Andy himself — owner-operated, 30+ years on paint, and the same standard for a daily driver, a work ute or a weekend car. Tell us the car and what is bothering you and you will get a straight answer.
Around Lilydale Village, Lilydale Marketplace and Lilydale station.
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.
Food, drinks, muddy boots and dog hair. Interior coatings seal fabric and leather so spills can be blotted up instead of soaking in.
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.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Lilydale included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (32 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.
