From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Oakleigh East cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 25 km up the road.
Most cars we see from Oakleigh East have sound original paint under years of light marring, bird-dropping etching and a bit of fade on the roof and bonnet. That combination responds very well to a proper cut and polish, and a coating stops it coming straight back.
Every Oakleigh East booking is handled by Andy himself — owner-operated, 30+ years on paint, and the same standard for a daily driver, a work ute or a weekend car. Tell us the car and what is bothering you and you will get a straight answer.
Around Hurst Reserve.
If the plan is to keep the car for years, protecting it once properly costs less than repeated polishing that thins the clear coat each time.
Fast washes with one bucket and whatever towel is closest put circular marring into the paint that only shows in the sun. It is the single most common thing we correct.
When the garage holds one car, the rest live on the driveway or the street, taking full sun and whatever falls from the trees.
Droppings are acidic and etch into hot paint within an afternoon. Coated paint gives you the time to wipe them off safely.
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 Oakleigh East and from the Berwick studio, which is about 25 km from you, so it is your choice. Most family homes have a garage or carport, which is all a mobile job needs, and it saves you juggling a second car for the drop-off. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Yes - swirls are fine scratches in the clear coat, and machine correction levels them out. The coating afterwards is what stops them coming straight back.
Yes. We deep-clean and coat leather, fabric and trim so spills, dye transfer and grime stop soaking in.
Most coatings are a one to three day job depending on how much correction the paint needs. You will get an exact timeframe when we assess it.
