Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Research 3095 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 40 km away.
Driving out of Research means winding roads, dappled shade and a car that is never quite dry. Sap etches, leaf stain marks light paint, and the damp gives everything longer to bite. Sealing the paint is what stops it keying in.
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 Research is exactly what gets done.
Around Research Industrial Estate and Research Park.
Falling bark and small branches scratch roofs and bonnets, and dropped debris in the cowl blocks drains.
Mountain roads throw up grit and leaf debris into sills and wheels, and tight corners mean a lot of kerbed rims.
The Ranges are full of birds, which means frequent droppings on cars parked under trees. Coated paint lets you remove them before they etch.
Fog and damp leave a film on the windscreen that makes wet-weather and night driving harder. Coated glass stays clearer and sheds water.
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.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Research or at the Berwick studio, about 40 km away. In the hills it is the damp and the tree canopy. A coating cannot cure under dripping trees, so a mobile job needs a garage or a good carport - otherwise the studio keeps it dry. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
We clean seals and door shuts as part of a proper detail, and treating the rubbers helps stop it coming back.
More than almost anywhere else. Shade, damp and sap are exactly the conditions a coating is built to handle.
Yes, and in the hills it is one of the most useful things we do - coated glass sheds fog and rain far better.
