From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Pakenham Upper cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 14 km up the road.
Acreage living around Pakenham Upper is hard on a car's finish: unsealed drives, dirt roads, sheds, horse floats and the ute that does the real work. Most of the damage we see is from grit - and grit is exactly what a coating is best at shrugging off.
Every Pakenham Upper 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 RJ Chambers Flora & Fauna Reserve.
Acreage means driving further for everything. Bugs, road film and stone chips add up faster than they do in the suburbs.
Every trip up an unsealed drive leaves a layer of fine, abrasive dust. Wiping it off dry is like using very fine sandpaper.
Loose gravel flicks up into the front and the sills. Coatings do not stop impacts, but they seal the surrounding paint and make chips less of an entry point.
Farm and trade utes carry dirt, feed, chemicals and tools. A coated tray, canopy and paint takes a fraction of the time to clean.
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 Pakenham Upper and from the Berwick studio, which is about 14 km from you, so it is your choice. Acreage properties usually have the room, the shed and the power a mobile job needs, so on-site work suits most of what we do out here. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
Yes. Interior detailing handles dust, droppings and odour, and coating the fabric makes it easier to keep clean afterwards.
Rinse first with plenty of water to lift the grit, then wash - never wipe dust off dry. On coated paint the rinse does most of the job.
Yes, and on dirt roads it is well worth it - brake dust and mud stop baking onto coated wheels.
