Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Mount Evelyn 3796 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 28 km away.
The hills are beautiful and hard on paint. In Mount Evelyn 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 Evelyn is exactly what gets done.
Around Quinn Reserve.
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.
Cars parked under canopy grow moss in window rubbers and panel gaps, and mould inside if they are left closed and damp.
You get a straight assessment of what the paint needs, and what it does not.
Wash, iron treatment and clay, so the surface is genuinely clean before it is corrected.
Swirls, holograms and etching are levelled out by machine, measured as we go.
A certified coating, a proper cure, a registered warranty and a simple wash routine.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Mount Evelyn or at the Berwick studio, about 28 km away. 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. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
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.
We clean seals and door shuts as part of a proper detail, and treating the rubbers helps stop it coming back.
