Getting Here from Melbourne CBD
The run from Melbourne CBD to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 27.1 km via Eastern Freeway. Outside peak hour that is around 40 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. If you would rather not wait, Mitcham and Heatherdale stations on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines are both about 1.5 km from the workshop. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Exterior Detailing
Full decontamination, then staged machine correction, what most Australians call a cut and polish, to cut back swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation before polishing to a deep gloss. It changes how the paint reads in daylight.
Wheels and Calipers
Brake dust bakes onto wheels and calipers first. After cleaning we can apply a high temperature wheel ceramic, $60 per wheel, so the dust rinses off between details.
Commuter Car Grime
Daily runs on Eastern Freeway leave iron particles and brake dust bonded to the paint and wheels. A proper detail removes them before they etch, and a coating afterwards slows the build-up.
Keeping It Detailed
The fastest way to waste a detail is a brush car wash on the way home. We hand over a simple routine: pH neutral shampoo, two buckets and a microfibre dry.
Selling the Car? Detail It First
Buyers price what they see. A corrected, deep cleaned car photographs and negotiates better, and the detail usually costs less than the first price drop a tired car takes. For high value cars, see prestige car detailing.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
Liquid R has one workshop, in Mitcham, and it is a fair drive from Melbourne CBD. Customers make the trip because the work is done indoors by our own team rather than in a driveway, and we plan the booking so it takes one visit, not several. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best car detailing in Melbourne lists what to check.
How Long the Car Stays
A maintenance detail is usually a day, and correction runs one to three days. From Melbourne CBD, most people bundle work into one visit: tint with a detail, or film with a coating, so the car only makes the trip once. We confirm the timing when you book.
PPF Refresh
For cars already wearing film: the film is washed with DFA Surface Cleaner from Defcon Films Australia, water spots are lifted, edges are checked and the film is resealed so it beads like the week it went on. Between visits, follow our aftercare routine.

Very good service and quality. This was my first time doing ceramic coating for my new ride and the explanation during handover was great by Mark. Jacky was good too when I first deal with him and he showed me around explaining how the job will be done. Happy customer. Definitely comeback when I need their service.

We’ve been customers of Bobby for over 15 years, even before Liquid R was established, and we’ve continued to follow him ever since. That alone says a lot about the level of trust and quality they provide. The team at Liquid R consistently delivers outstanding workmanship. Every job is done with incredible attention to detail, care, and professionalism.

Outstanding Service and Quality – Highly Recommend Liquid R! I had XPEL tint installed at Liquid R, and the experience was exceptional. Jacky and his team provided top-quality workmanship, brilliant communication, and world-class customer service. From start to finish, they kept me informed, explained my options clearly, and ensured a flawless installation. The tint looks incredible, and their attention to detail…

I had my car tinted and ceramic coating at Liquid R again, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service were outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality tinting and ceramic coating.

Jacky and his team have a great eye for detail and did a great job on our new car. He took the time to go over after care thoroughly to ensure I understood it well. He clearly takes pride in his work and I would highly recommend.
Jacinta Kong
Thanks Jacky & Sean, so happy with way my car looks! Awesome job guys, you both know your stuff!
Rob Saro
The team here at Liquid R did such an amazing job on my car. They have made the car look brand new. They were even able to bring the shine back to my front wheels, which I have struggled to do myself. I know I'll definitely be back when I need another detail and to make the car look like new. There really isn't a better team to deal…

Edit on 19/07/2024: I bought a new car (picture added) and got an updated version of what I got with my i30N (now called Paint Protection Pack 4) with an upgrade on the tint. Same experience as before, so would again wholeheartedly recommend. Also my car feels so silky, its surreal. ### The short version: Bobby and Jacky are running an incredibly knowledgeable and professional business.

No. Every price is the same wherever you live. The quote depends on the car and the work, never the postcode.
Every job is done at our Mitcham workshop. Film, coatings and tint need clean indoor bays and proper lighting, which a driveway cannot give, and that is what our results depend on.
A protected, sensibly washed car needs a maintenance detail once or twice a year. Cars parked outside benefit from more.
Basic is a decontamination wash and interior clean, Deluxe adds machine polish and interior protection, and Premium adds multi-stage correction and protection.
