Car Detailing Southbank
Car Detailing near Southbank
Liquid R serves Southbank and the rest of inner Melbourne from one workshop in Mitcham, about 28.5 km away and roughly 40 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.
Prices are the same wherever you live: the quote depends on the car, not the postcode. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

Getting Here from Southbank
Allow roughly 40 minutes from Southbank outside peak hour. The route is about 28.5 km via Eastern Freeway Onramp, ending at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham, where there is parking out the front. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Water Spot Removal
Mineral rings from sprinklers and summer rain etch into paint and glass if they sit. Fresh spots wash off, older ones need a dedicated remover or a polish, and we tell you which before we start. Our washing dos and don’ts help stop them coming back.
Leather and Fabric Protection
After the clean we can protect: Gtechniq L1 for leather and I1 for fabric. Both slow how fast liquid soaks in, which turns a coffee spill from a stain into a wipe.
Everyday Wear, Fixed
Shopping trolleys, school runs and street parking leave fine scratches and grime that a wash never shifts. A detail takes the car back to a clean, glossy baseline.
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.
Southbank Customers, One Workshop
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from Southbank. What you get for the drive is indoor bays, inspection lighting and our own team on your car, rather than a van in a car park. 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. Because of the distance, we plan the work so the car needs one drop-off and one pickup, even when several jobs are booked together. We confirm the timing when you book.
Interior Only Bookings
You do not need an exterior package to get the cabin sorted. Full extraction, leather care, odour treatment and optional fabric or leather protection can be booked on their own.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
Brought in my Tesla on a Friday and got in back the very next Friday for a full body PPF + graphene coating on top. To start with, this timeframe is impressive given the job they have done. On top, from start to finish, I received excellent communication and professionalism along the way, and of course, a flawless job done on the vehicle. It's hard to write any negatives, my car came out looking twice as good as…

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
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 the team have been super helpful with my cars. I got our Land Cruiser bush wrapped/clear wrapped here a year ago plus tinted windows. Amazing job and Jacky/Bobby helped me understand my window tinting choices. I’m a car sprayer by trade so appreciate the attention to detail in all there work. On that note the work shop is bright and immaculate. 100% recommended and great pricing.
Paul Ross
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
Extremely professional service from Jacky and the team. Everything was explained thoroughly and I never felt worried throughout the whole process. The team went above and beyond. I got the XPEL PPF wrap and it turned out…

The team at liquid R did a great job on my kia carnival inside and out looked awesome after the ceramic coating, easy to clean
Mijo L
Booked our new car in for the ceramic coating and window tint package liquid r offers already knowing the quality and pricing is going to be much better than a car dealer. Jacky and his team have an absolutely ridiculous eye for detail and went above and beyond to make sure the car was looking as you’d expect being brand new.
Dillon
Cannot fault Liquid.R service and work done on our new car. From initial contact, Jacky invited me to the work shop and discussions about what work I wanted done. He was so helpful and thorougher. I’m so happy I went with Jacky and his team for my new pride and joy and can’t thank his organisation enough. Considerate, attention to detail, genuine love of what they do and price I found to be very competitive.
Luke Marsden
Jackie was super helpful from the very start. He was able to work his availability around my shift work roster. Perfect communication about products and price and fully transparent, no secret costs or upselling. Jackie obviously takes pride in his workmanship and it shows. Would recommend his services to anyone. For reference I had package 3 applied to a new vehicle and it looks better than the day I took delivery…

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.
Almost always. The detail usually costs less than the first haggle a tired car invites.
A protected, sensibly washed car needs a maintenance detail once or twice a year. Cars parked outside benefit from more.
