The Drive from Hawthorn
The run from Hawthorn to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 17.1 km via Mont Albert Road. Outside peak hour that is around 30 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Hawthorn 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 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.
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.
Washing a Coated Car
pH neutral shampoo, a rinse before contact, no brush car washes, and a clean towel or blower to dry, as set out in our guide to washing a coated car. Done that way the coating keeps beading and nothing gritty gets dragged across the paint.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Hawthorn 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. Tell us when you can drop off and collect, and we schedule the job around those times. We are open weekdays 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays to 12:30pm.
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.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
Jacky and the team showed meticulous care and incredible attention to detail when installing a ceramic coating on my new RS3. The car came out far better than when it left the show-room floor and far surpassed my expectations. The handwashing tutorial that Jacky ran me through upon collection was also a great knowledge transfer & showed true dedication to their craft. 11/10, can't recommend enough.

I Had my car cut and polished by Liquid R and can’t recommend these guys highly enough! Jacky thoroughly inspected the car and explained to me what needed to happen and the job was done really well.

Eric Dwyer
The guys were fantastic, they took their time showing me the different products and were very knowledgeable. I had PPF applied to my previous vehicle by another company and wasn't happy with the result, however this time the job was impeccable. The upgrades I selected raised the price substantially, but it was worth it. I'll be taking my other cars there as well. I highly recommend Liquid R.

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!

Jacky and team did a stellar job coating and tinting the new car. Although there were some mishaps with the tint, Jacky was on top of the communications and was able to remediate efficiently. Highly recommend to anyone who are looking for a ceramic coat or tint for their vehicles.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before you book. Anything else, call 1800 985 880.
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.
DIY kits skip the preparation. Applied over contaminated, uncorrected paint they lock in the problems and last a fraction as long.
If you keep the car more than a couple of years, usually yes. It replaces the wax cycle and keeps the paint from dulling.
