McKinnon, and what it does to paint

McKinnon is established family country - the kind of suburb where a car does school runs, weekend sport and the supermarket, often for a decade. That is hard, honest wear, and most of it is surface damage that correction can take back out.

There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from McKinnon himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.

Established family suburbs

What McKinnon does to a car’s finish.

Quick-wash swirls

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.

Second and third cars outside

When the garage holds one car, the rest live on the driveway or the street, taking full sun and whatever falls from the trees.

Bird droppings on the school run

Droppings are acidic and etch into hot paint within an afternoon. Coated paint gives you the time to wipe them off safely.

Fading on the horizontal panels

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.

FAQs

Before you book from McKinnon.

Can the work be done at my place in McKinnon?

Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in McKinnon or at the Berwick studio, about 31 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.

Is a coating worth it on a family car?

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.

Can you get rid of the swirl marks?

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.

Can you do the inside as well?

Yes. We deep-clean and coat leather, fabric and trim so spills, dye transfer and grime stop soaking in.
