Ceramic Coating Footscray
Ceramic Coating near Footscray
Footscray drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for ceramic coating. The workshop is about 31.6 km from Footscray, roughly 45 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.
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.

The Drive from Footscray
From Footscray the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 31.6 km away, roughly 45 minutes via Eastern Freeway outside peak hour. There is parking on site and a bay booked for your arrival. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
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.
Leather and Fabric Coating
Gtechniq L1 on leather and I1 on fabric slow how fast spills soak in, so coffee and sunscreen wipe away instead of staining. Popular on light interiors and family cars.
Road Grime From the Commute
Freeway driving on roads like Eastern Freeway coats a car in road film, bugs and brake dust. A ceramic coating lets most of it rinse off, so the car stays clean longer between washes.
Lights, Trim and Every Panel
In our packages the coating goes on every external panel, and on headlights, tail lights and exterior trim as well, so the whole car beads and cleans the same way.
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.
Footscray Customers, One Workshop
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from Footscray. 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 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.
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.

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.

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.

Having just bought a brand new Tesla Model 3, I booked it in with Liquid R and after discussing with Jacky elected for a Ceramic Coating and window Tint. Jacky was very helpful and obliging. He also agreed to fit some new mud flaps i ordered for the car. I took delivery of my new car and drove it straight to Liquid R. 2 days later i picked up the car and am extremely happy with the result. Bobby was very helpful too…
Richard Guthrie
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.

Jacky and the team did a fantastic job on my Golf VW GTI with PPF and Ceramic Coating. The King's Red on the car popped out, with a smooth and slick to the touch! Professional and flexible to your needs without trying to put their opinion on you in an attempt to overwrite you as if your needs are stupid. Competitive pricing as well! Highly recommend these guys. Note: Better book in quick!

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.

Just had my car ceramic coated at Liquid R. Jacky was super professional, easy to talk to, and took great care of my car. Great service, great team. Highly recommended!

I initially would like to bring my new car to a well known local auto TLC shop 800 meters away who also does ceramic coating & tinted windows (I live in Clayton where plenty of auto shops around); their prices are much higher for the same services compared to LiquidR and my friend convinced me to take my new car to LiquidR instead; albeit the distance. The decision is worth it.
Ivan Adrianto
The best in the business. Jacky really knows his stuff and will give you his honest opinion based on your needs.

2 years on and our ceramic coat is still looking fantastic, and our high end window tint has been performing better than I imagined. Jacky's advice is invaluable, and LiquidR's ability to accommodate special requests has been hugely helpful. Thanks Guys!

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