Ceramic Coating Altona
Ceramic Coating Altona: Done in Mitcham
Altona drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for ceramic coating. The workshop is about 43.6 km from Altona, roughly 60 minutes by car outside peak hour. Ceramic coating starts at $980 on bare paint, including decontamination and machine polish, and new car packages start at $1090.
Preparation is most of the job: a foam pre-wash, iron and tar removal, clay and machine polishing under inspection lights before the coating goes on. We use Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Envoke ProCoat+ 7 Year Graphene Coating, cured indoors.
Customers from Altona pay the same as everyone else, because the price follows the car and the work. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

The Drive from Altona
The run from Altona to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 43.6 km via Eastern Freeway. Outside peak hour that is around 60 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
What a Coating Does
The coating bonds to the clear coat and fills the tiny pores that make paint grab dirt. Rain beads and rolls off, bugs release with a rinse, and the clear coat is shielded from UV and chemical staining.
Salt Rinses Off
Near the water in Altona, salt residue builds up on paint between washes. A ceramic coating gives it nothing to grip, so a rinse does most of the work.
Wheel Ceramic at $60 a Wheel
Brake dust bakes onto bare alloys and pits the finish. A wheel ceramic, $60 per wheel, handles the heat and lets the dust rinse off before it bonds.
Preparation Decides the Result
Foam pre-wash, two bucket contact wash, iron and tar removal, clay, then machine polishing under inspection lights. Skip any step and you seal dirt and swirls under glass. This preparation, the same work as a cut and polish, is most of the labour and most of the price.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
Liquid R has one workshop, in Mitcham, and it is a fair drive from Altona. 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 ceramic coating in Melbourne lists what to check.
Booking and Turnaround
Coatings need curing time, so most cars stay with us for a couple of 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.
Coating Over PPF
A ceramic layer can go over paint protection film in the same booking for $650. The film takes the stone chips and the coating keeps it easy to wash.

I can’t recommend Jacky and his team highly enough. I accidentally opened my boot while the garage roller door was down, which left some nasty scratches. I was expecting the worst and thought I’d be up for an expensive respray, but they were incredibly helpful and managed to repair the damage beautifully. Jacky took the time to explain my options and went above and beyond to achieve a great result, saving me a lot…

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
Jacky and his team did an amazing job taking all the tree sap off my white Mazda cx5. I had left it on for months so it was really stuck onto my paint nothing i tried worked and other detailers couldn't get it off properly. My car now looks brand new. Was a bit pricey for me but it is worth it since my car looks like it's straight out of a dealership now.

Liquid R have a great reputation and to have my car done with them, they have more than lived up to that reputation easily. Class, thoughtful suggestions on best options to choose and flawless PPF implementation have me blown away at the finished product and I feel an added value to my car both in how much better it presents with their work and also feeling confident their PPF product and pro application will…

Completely personalised and professional service. Jacky and I spent ages going over all the finer points of detailing and washing cars. He is a wealth of knowledge and is truly passionate about what him and the team at Liquid R do. I took a few shots after the ceramic coating..
Daniel Papak
Jacky and his team did an excellent job with the PPF and 3M Ceramic Tint. Its been 2 years since it was applied and the car still looks like new. You won't know the car has PPF applied, that is how flawless it is. Definitely coming back.

Yes. 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.
Yes. Older paint is decontaminated and corrected first, then coated, and often shows the biggest change.
