Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Malvern 3144 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 34 km away.
Malvern 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 Malvern himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Malvern station, Tooronga station and Cabrini Hospital.
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.
Many cars here already carry film on the front end. Film and coating work well together, and a coating over the film makes it easier to keep clean.
Cars that do few kilometres still oxidise and gather dust marks from covers and wipe-downs. They are ideal candidates for a multi-year system because the paint under them is so good.
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.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Malvern or at the Berwick studio, about 34 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
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.
Yes. If the clear coat is thin from previous polishing, or the defects are too deep to remove safely, you will hear that before any work starts.
Yes. Every car is measured panel by panel before correction, and the approach is set by what the clear coat will safely allow - which matters most on cars where a respray is not an acceptable outcome.
