Car Detailing Port Melbourne
Car Detailing Port Melbourne: Done in Mitcham
Port Melbourne drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for car detailing. The workshop is about 30.7 km from Port Melbourne, roughly 45 minutes by car outside peak hour. Detailing covers decontamination, staged machine correction and full interior work, with machine polishing from $850.
Detailing is often the first step before a coating or film, because both lock in whatever finish sits underneath. A maintenance detail usually takes a day, and correction one to three days.
Every quote is a fixed figure before the car is booked, and it is the same whichever suburb you come from. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

The Drive from Port Melbourne
The run from Port Melbourne to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 30.7 km via CityLink and Burwood Highway. Outside peak hour that is around 45 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Three Package Levels
Basic covers a decontamination wash and interior clean, the starting point of our car detailing packages. Deluxe adds machine polish and interior protection. Premium is multi-stage correction and protection inside and out. Inclusions are confirmed on your quote.
Interior Detailing
Carpets and mats extracted, leather cleaned and fed, vents and switchgear brushed out. Sunscreen film on plastics and coffee in the console both come out, and the cabin leaves smelling of nothing. Why it is worth doing properly is covered in the benefits of a premium detail.
Detailing a Car Near the Beach
Salt and sand get into door seals, carpets and wheel arches on cars that live near the beach. A detail clears both, and a coating afterwards makes the next clean easier.
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.
How Long a Detail Takes
A maintenance detail is usually a day. Correction runs one to three days depending on the paint. We would rather keep the car an extra morning than hand back a rushed panel. Show cars get more time again, see prestige car detailing.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
We have no branch out near Port Melbourne, only our Mitcham workshop. If the drive suits you, the work is done indoors by staff who do this every day, and the booking is planned around a single trip. 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. Coming from Port Melbourne, it makes sense to combine jobs, such as film and coating, or a detail with tint, into one booking so the drive happens once. We confirm the timing when you book.
Cut and Polish from $850
Machine polishing starts from $850. We start with the lightest cut that shows a result and work the deeper defects individually, because clear coat is finite and modern cars have less of it than ever.

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.

I brought my CLA45 in for a wrap and had a great experience. Jacky and his team were always helpful and responsive. The final result looks fantastic. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a wrap.
Ambrose Li
Recently brought my new (5000KM) CX5 to Liquid R for a polish and ceramic coat. Very happy with the experience and result, the car looks better than before. Dirt doesn’t stick to the car like it did before the coating which make a big difference on a dark colour.
Brett Johnson
I had a ceramic coating and a paint protection film (PPF) package applied by Liquid R, with Jacky and Bob overseeing the process. I am very pleased with the results. After I dropped off my car at Liquid R one night, I noticed through the My Toyota App that my 2025 Toyota LC 300 was parked in a different location.

I've purchased and collected a new Mercedes EQE350 end-of-Jun'25. I've gone to Liquid R to apply Gtechniq ceramic paint protection and Xpel ceramic tint after seeing good reviews. Initially I was somehow reluctant to spend more than $2K on all these, but still took the bullet.
Life Without Limits
Spoke to Jacky and he has been incredible, really knowledgeable and will explain everything in detail. Very pleasant guy to talk to as well. Left my BMW X2 for ceramic coating and the job done by his team was amazing. He also does a proper handover by explaining how to wash the car and to maintain the shine. Thank Jacky and team.
Stanley
Jacky and team were amazing. From the moment we first walked in the door to make our initial inquiries to the day we dropped off to the day we picked up nothing was too much trouble. Jacky was extremely passionate and knowledgeable and so easy to deal with. The team were very particular in their work. Then there is the final product. An absolutely amazing result.
Tristan McSwain
From my previous Subaru to my current Toyota, I’ve always gone to Jacky. They offer customised solutions tailored to your needs and provide a suitable package. The results have been very satisfying. High quality you won’t regret…

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.
Swirls and shallow scratches polish out. A scratch you can catch a fingernail in is through the clear coat and needs paint.
A protected, sensibly washed car needs a maintenance detail once or twice a year. Cars parked outside benefit from more.
