From swirl removal to a multi-year graphene coating, Tooradin cars are looked after two ways: mobile, at your place, or at our Berwick studio roughly 18 km up the road.
Salt is the whole story in Tooradin. Air off the water carries a fine saline film that settles on paint, trim and brightwork and keeps working on it long after the car looks dry.
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 Tooradin is exactly what gets done.

Salt film on glass scatters light and makes night driving harder. Glass coating keeps it clearer and sheds water at speed.
A fine saline film settles on the car constantly and attracts moisture. On a coated car it rinses off; on bare paint it sits and works away at it.
Sand is abrasive. Wiping it off a panel scratches the paint, and it packs into sills, seat rails and carpet.
Sun off the water adds to the direct UV load, which is what fades reds and blacks and chalks plastic trim.
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 works mobile in Tooradin and from the Berwick studio, which is about 18 km from you, so it is your choice. 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. Either way it is the same person, the same products and the same registered warranty.
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.
More often than inland - a thorough rinse after windy days and beach trips helps a lot. On a coated car that rinse does most of the work.
