GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Lower Plenty drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (39 km from Lower Plenty).
Owners in Lower Plenty tend to notice the difference between a quick polish and a proper job, which suits the way we work. Every car is measured before it is touched, corrected in stages rather than one aggressive hit, and sealed with a coating chosen for clarity as much as durability.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Lower Plenty himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Alma Play Park.
Cars that only come out on good days still oxidise sitting still, and they are usually the ones owners most want kept perfect. They are ideal candidates for a multi-year system.
Washing on a hot driveway leaves mineral spots that etch as they dry. A coated car sheds water quickly enough that it stops being a problem.
On a well-optioned car the paint is one of the first things a buyer judges. Protecting it early is cheaper than correcting it before sale.
The most common issue here is not neglect but wash marring on otherwise sound paint. It is fully correctable, and the result on a dark metallic is dramatic.
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, Lower Plenty included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (39 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. Established homes usually have what a mobile job needs - a garage or carport, power and water - so most work here can be done on site while you get on with the day. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
Usually. We measure the clear coat first, because a previous heavy polish may have taken some of it. If there is enough left, holograms and buffer trails can be refined out; if there is not, we will tell you before starting.
For a garaged car where the look in direct sun matters most we generally lean GYEON for its clarity; for a car that does real kilometres, ONYX 10H graphene for durability. Often either is a good answer and we will say so.
It sharpens it. A properly corrected and coated finish reads deeper and glossier, and it stops the flat, hazy look paint gets as it oxidises.
