Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Silvan 3795 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 24 km away.
The hills are beautiful and hard on paint. In Silvan a car spends most of its life in the shade of big trees, rarely fully dries after rain, and collects sap, moss and debris faster than almost anywhere else we service.
Every Silvan 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 Silvan Reservoir Park.
Gum sap is sticky and acidic. On a warm day it sets hard and etches a ring into the clear coat that no wash will remove.
Wet leaves sitting in the scuttle panel, on the roof or in door shuts leave brown tannin stains, especially on white and silver paint.
Shade keeps the car wet for longer after rain and morning fog, which gives sap, droppings and fallout far more time to bite.
Cars parked under canopy grow moss in window rubbers and panel gaps, and mould inside if they are left closed and damp.
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.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Silvan or at the Berwick studio, about 24 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.
It will not stop sap landing, but it stops it bonding. On sealed paint you can lift sap off safely instead of finding an etched ring days later. Existing rings are polished out first.
Usually. Tannin staining responds well to decontamination and a polish, and a coating makes it much harder for new stains to set.
We clean seals and door shuts as part of a proper detail, and treating the rubbers helps stop it coming back.
