GYEON and ONYX ceramic coatings, machine paint correction and overspray removal for Sandhurst drivers. We come to you, or you bring the car to our Berwick studio (13 km from Sandhurst).
Most of the cars we see from Sandhurst 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.
Every Sandhurst 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 Maybanke Park.
Temporary roads and unsealed lots mean mud and clay thrown up the sills and wheel arches, which bakes on if it is left.
Many new cars from the area arrive with a dealer 'protection' spray that lasts months, not years. A professionally applied coating is a different product.
New cars often arrive with rail and transport fallout already bonded to the paint from shipping. It is removed before anything is sealed over it.
Paint mist from a house being finished next door drifts across the street and settles as a rough film. Washing does nothing; it has to be lifted off without cutting into the clear coat.
Paint depth readings and a close look under the lights before anything touches the car.
A full wash, then chemical and clay decontamination to strip out what washing leaves behind.
Correction matched to your paint - gentler on soft clear coats, more passes on hard ones.
The coating goes on panel by panel and cures under cover before the car goes back on the road.
CDS is mobile across Melbourne's south-east, Sandhurst included, and also runs a studio in Berwick (13 km from you) if you would rather drop the car in. 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. Mention your parking set-up when you enquire and Andy will say honestly which way gives the better result.
It is the best time to. The paint is undamaged, so there is little or nothing to correct and the coating bonds to a perfect surface.
Usually not. Dealer packages are typically a quick spray sealant that lasts months. A certified GYEON or ONYX coating is a different class of product and lasts years.
In the large majority of cases, yes. It sits on top of the clear coat and can be lifted off, provided it has not been left long enough to etch deeply.
