Professional paint protection for Pakenham 3810: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Pakenham or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Most of the cars we see from Pakenham are only a year or two old, parked in a street where half the lots are still building sites. That is the ideal time to protect paint - and the most common time for it to pick up construction overspray.
There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Pakenham himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.

Brick and tile cutting throws up fine abrasive dust that settles on every car in the street. Wiping it off dry is how new paint gets scratched.
A new car's paint is the best it will ever be on delivery day. Sealing it before the first wash mark goes in is the cheapest protection there is.
New streets have little shade, so cars sit in unbroken sun most of the day. UV is what turns dark paint flat over a few summers.
Temporary roads and unsealed lots mean mud and clay thrown up the sills and wheel arches, which bakes on if it is left.
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 Pakenham, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 13 km away - both are on offer. In a new estate the issue is dust from the building sites around you. A mobile job is done with the garage door down for that reason; if the garage is still full of boxes, the studio is the cleaner option. If you are unsure, send a photo of where the car lives with your enquiry and we will work out the best option.
As soon as you notice it. Fresh overspray lifts far more easily than overspray that has baked on through a hot week.
Yes. Glass picks up just as much site dust as paint, and coated wheels stop brake dust and mud baking on.
Yes - it is our specialty. Overspray, render and concrete spatter are removed non-abrasively so the clear coat is preserved, then the paint is coated so the next round of site dust washes off.
