From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Menzies Creek cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 14 km up the road.
Driving out of Menzies Creek means winding roads, dappled shade and a car that is never quite dry. Sap etches, leaf stain marks light paint, and the damp gives everything longer to bite. Sealing the paint is what stops it keying in.
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 Menzies Creek is exactly what gets done.
Around Menzies Creek station and Menzies Creek Bushland Reserve.
Fog and damp leave a film on the windscreen that makes wet-weather and night driving harder. Coated glass stays clearer and sheds water.
Gum sap is sticky and acidic. On a warm day it sets hard and etches a ring into the clear coat that no wash will remove.
Wet leaves sitting in the scuttle panel, on the roof or in door shuts leave brown tannin stains, especially on white and silver paint.
Shade keeps the car wet for longer after rain and morning fog, which gives sap, droppings and fallout far more time to bite.
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 works mobile in Menzies Creek and from the Berwick studio, which is about 14 km from you, so it is your choice. In the hills it is the damp and the tree canopy. A coating cannot cure under dripping trees, so a mobile job needs a garage or a good carport - otherwise the studio keeps it dry. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
More than almost anywhere else. Shade, damp and sap are exactly the conditions a coating is built to handle.
Yes, and in the hills it is one of the most useful things we do - coated glass sheds fog and rain far better.
We clean, decontaminate and coat wheels. Kerb damage to the rim itself is a wheel-repair job, and we will point you to someone good.
