Ceramic Coating Camberwell
Ceramic Coating near Camberwell
Liquid R serves Camberwell and the rest of Melbourne’s east from one workshop in Mitcham, about 14.6 km away and roughly 25 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.
A coating keeps paint glossy and easy to wash for two to five years in normal Melbourne use. It will not stop stone chips, so plenty of owners pair it with film on the front, which we can fit in the same booking.
Customers from Camberwell 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.

Camberwell to Mitcham
The run from Camberwell to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 14.6 km via Riversdale Road. Outside peak hour that is around 25 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Camberwell is on the same train line as us: Mitcham and Heatherdale stations are each about 1.5 km from the workshop, so leaving the car and taking the train home works. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
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.
What a Coating Does Not Do
A coating is microns thick. It will not stop a stone chip and it will not fill existing scratches. Chips need paint protection film, and scratches need correction before the coating locks them in.
Trees, Birds and Parking Outside
Cars parked on the street or under trees collect sap and bird droppings that etch bare paint in the sun. A coated surface buys time and releases them with a gentle wash.
Coating an Older Car
Older paint often shows the biggest change. The process is the same: decontaminate, correct what correction can fix, then coat. The coating locks in the corrected finish and makes it far easier to keep.
Coating Versus Wax
Wax sits on top of the paint and gives up within weeks to sun and shampoo. A ceramic coating bonds and stays for years. Most of our coating customers are former regular waxers who did the sums. More in our ceramic coating myths article.
Why Customers Come to Us
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Camberwell shopfront. The work is done in Mitcham because ceramic coating needs dust-free bays, inspection lighting and time, all of which a driveway lacks. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best ceramic coating in Melbourne lists what to check.
How Long the Car Stays
Coatings need curing time, so most cars stay with us for a couple of days. We agree the drop-off and pickup times with you up front, so a trip from Camberwell fits your week rather than the other way round. We are open weekdays 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays to 12:30pm.
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.

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.
JImmy Santoso
Visted Jacky and the team to get package 4 treatment for my Zeekr 7x. First time getting PPF, ceramic coating and window tinting on my car and could not be happier by the results. I highly recommend Jacky and his team.

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.

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

This is my third car I've done the TLC package for at Liquid R (paint correction & ceramic coating), and the guys managed to surprise me again!! The car is looking better than showroom condition. I can't endorse those guys enough, Jacky and Bobby are extremely professional and helpful, they are the best in this business from what I know. P.S.
Adel Baz
Jacky and the Liquid R team did an amazing job putting on ceramic coating on my aurora white car. Cant imagine it can be more slick than a brand new paint. Pick up and handover was awesome as Jacky provide a detailed walkthrough on how to properly maintain the it. Will bring my other car soon.
Paul Dominguez
Liquid R did an awesome job on my pride and joy. Keep up the great work! Not forgetting Jacky, who provides advice and available options which fit your budget.
Andrew Lai
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…
Mitchell Potts
Many thanks to Jackie and the team at Liquid R for always making my cars look amazing. Highly recommended.

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.
On bare paint it starts at $980 including decontamination and single stage machine polish. New car packages with coating start at $1090, and coating over PPF is $650.
