From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Mount Dandenong cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 23 km up the road.
The hills are beautiful and hard on paint. In Mount Dandenong a car spends most of its life in the shade of big trees, rarely fully dries after rain, and collects sap, moss and debris faster than almost anywhere else we service.
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 Mount Dandenong is exactly what gets done.
Around Singleton Reserve.
Cars parked under canopy grow moss in window rubbers and panel gaps, and mould inside if they are left closed and damp.
Falling bark and small branches scratch roofs and bonnets, and dropped debris in the cowl blocks drains.
Mountain roads throw up grit and leaf debris into sills and wheels, and tight corners mean a lot of kerbed rims.
The Ranges are full of birds, which means frequent droppings on cars parked under trees. Coated paint lets you remove them before they etch.
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.
Andy works mobile in Mount Dandenong and from the Berwick studio, which is about 23 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.
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.
It will not stop sap landing, but it stops it bonding. On sealed paint you can lift sap off safely instead of finding an etched ring days later. Existing rings are polished out first.
Usually. Tannin staining responds well to decontamination and a polish, and a coating makes it much harder for new stains to set.
