Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Montrose 3765 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 25 km away.
Montrose is established, well-treed and home to a lot of cars that are garaged at night and genuinely looked after. That is the best starting point paint can have: there is real depth in the clear coat to bring back, rather than damage to disguise.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Montrose himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Karen Reserve.
Even garaged cars pick up fine dust, and car covers dragged across a dusty panel leave their own marring. A coating makes the surface far more forgiving of both.
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.
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 Montrose or at the Berwick studio, about 25 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
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.
Yes. Older single-stage and early clear-coat paint needs a gentler approach and more care than a modern finish, which is exactly how we treat it.
