Best Paint Protection Melbourne
The Best Car Paint Protection in Melbourne
The best paint protection depends on what you want to stop. Stone chips need paint protection film. Fading, bird droppings and hard washing need a ceramic coating. Most new cars that do freeway kilometres are best with both: film on the front, coating over the rest. This guide explains how to pick.
Liquid R protects cars in Mitcham, with new car packages from $1090 and PPF from $180. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888.

Ceramic Coating: Gtechniq ceramic and graphene coatings for gloss that rinses clean.

For Stone Chips: PPF
Only film physically stops chips. A full front from $1980 covers the bonnet, bumper, guards and mirrors, where freeway gravel lands. See our guide to the best PPF.
For Gloss and Easy Washing: Ceramic
A ceramic coating keeps paint glossy, beading and easy to clean for years, but does nothing against impacts. Coating on bare paint starts at $980. See our guide to the best ceramic coating.
For a New Car: Both
The best time to protect a car is before its first freeway run. Pack 4 of our new car protection packages combines front end PPF, a 7 year graphene coating, interior protection, wheel coating and 3M tint for $4090.
For Black and Dark Cars
Dark paint shows swirls and water spots first. The best protection for a black car is a correction and coating to keep the gloss, plus film on the front if it does freeway driving.
For Older Cars
Older paint should be corrected before any protection goes on, because film and coatings lock in what is underneath. Machine polishing starts from $850. Options are compared in aftermarket paint protection for cars.
Dealer Paint Protection
Dealer packages vary. Ask what product is used, what preparation is included and who honours the warranty, then compare like for like with an independent installer.
What to Avoid
Wax sold as long term protection, coatings promised to stop chips, unbranded film, and quotes that skip preparation. Each of these looks fine at pickup and disappoints within a year. More in our article on ceramic coating myths.
Look After It
Any protection lasts longer with a pH neutral hand wash and no brush car washes. Our guide to washing a coated car covers the routine.
What It Costs
Headlight film from $180, wear and tear pack from $380, full front PPF from $1980, ceramic coating from $980, and new car packages from $1090 to $4090.

AJ Liska
Jackie and the team at liquid R have installed Bushwraps on 2 of my Hiluxs now and they have both been perfect, the most recent one also had custom work done. The vehicle came straight from the dealer and we spent the time to work out exactly what I was after, the work was completed then the vehicle went to ARB.
Alex Gramatakos
Jacky and the team did a fantastic job on my Golf VW GTI with PPF and Ceramic Coating. The King's Red on the car popped out, with a smooth and slick to the touch! Professional and flexible to your needs without trying to put their opinion on you in an attempt to overwrite you as if your needs are stupid. Competitive pricing as well! Highly recommend these guys. Note: Better book in quick!

Jimmy
Some places allow you to pay for better, best and then perfect service. The default position here is only the best will do. Jacky and the rest of team are totally committed to the highest of standards on top of that their customer service is second to none. Hence why I was happy to do a 6 hour round trip, twice, to have them do PPF and ceramic. Don’t go anywhere else as there is no need. Simple amazing product…
