Professional paint protection for Patterson Lakes 3197: decontamination, correction and a certified coating, carried out on site in Patterson Lakes or at the CDS studio in Berwick.
Living by the water in Patterson Lakes 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 Patterson Lakes himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.
Around Lakeview Shopping Centre, Gladesville Shopping Centre and Harbour Town Park.
Sun off the water adds to the direct UV load, which is what fades reds and blacks and chalks plastic trim.
Salt gets into stone chips and door-edge damage and starts corrosion faster than it would inland. Sealing the surrounding paint slows it down.
Towing through salt water and parking near the ramp puts salt straight onto the lower panels and wheels. They need a proper rinse, and coating makes that rinse effective.
Exterior metal trim pits and dulls in salt air. Coating it keeps it bright.
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 Patterson Lakes, or you can bring the car to the studio in Berwick, roughly 18 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.
