From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Oakleigh South cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 26 km up the road.
Most cars we see from Oakleigh South 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.
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 Oakleigh South is exactly what gets done.
Around The Links and Dales Park.
Roofs, bonnets and boot lids take the most sun. On reds and dark colours that shows up as a flat, chalky finish that a wash no longer shifts.
Food, drinks, muddy boots and dog hair. Interior coatings seal fabric and leather so spills can be blotted up instead of soaking in.
Shopping-centre car parks leave light scuffs and transfer on door edges. Transfer can usually be polished off; a coating makes the next one easier to remove.
Stop-start suburban driving loads wheels with hot brake dust that bakes into the finish. Coated wheels rinse clean instead.
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 works mobile in Oakleigh South and from the Berwick studio, which is about 26 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.
