Professional paint protection for Mount Martha 3934: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Mount Martha or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Living by the water in Mount Martha is hard on a car in ways that are easy to miss. Salt spray settles on every surface, the sun off the water is relentless, and sand finds its way into sills, wheel arches and carpet regardless of how careful anyone is.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Mount Martha himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Walara Reserve.
Wet towels, sunscreen and sand wear interiors quickly. Coated fabric and leather resist sunscreen marks and moisture.
Salt film on glass scatters light and makes night driving harder. Glass coating keeps it clearer and sheds water at speed.
A fine saline film settles on the car constantly and attracts moisture. On a coated car it rinses off; on bare paint it sits and works away at it.
Sand is abrasive. Wiping it off a panel scratches the paint, and it packs into sills, seat rails and carpet.
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.
We can come to you in Mount Martha, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 38 km away - both are on offer. Near the water it is salt air and the sea breeze that matter: a coating needs to cure dry and out of the wind. A closed garage does that; otherwise the studio does. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
It will not fix existing rust, and it cannot seal a chip that is already through to metal. It does slow corrosion by keeping salt off intact paint.
Yes - a proper interior detail gets sand out of seat rails, carpet and vents, and a fabric coating makes the next lot easier to vacuum.
Yes. Salt holds moisture against the surface and accelerates corrosion wherever the paint is chipped. A coating stops the film bonding and lets it rinse away.
