Ceramic Coating Northcote
Ceramic Coating Northcote: Done in Mitcham
Liquid R serves Northcote and the rest of Melbourne’s north from one workshop in Mitcham, about 23.4 km away and roughly 35 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.

Northcote to Mitcham
Allow roughly 35 minutes from Northcote outside peak hour. The route is about 23.4 km via Eastern Freeway, ending at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham, where there is parking out the front. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Water Spots and Bore Water
Sprinklers and bore water leave mineral rings that etch bare paint in the sun. Graphene chemistry in particular resists those spots, and a coated panel releases them with a normal wash.
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.
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.
New Car Packages from $1090
Pack Essential, $1090, uses Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. Pack 1, $1390, steps up to Envoke ProCoat+ 7 Year Graphene Coating, and the higher packs add interior protection, wheel coating, tint and front end film. All five are on the packages page.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Northcote 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.
Ceramic Coating from $980
On bare paint, ceramic coating starts at $980. That price includes the part of the job that decides the result: decontamination, iron and tar removal, clay and a single stage machine polish before the coating goes on.

Liquid R did an amazing job on my car. The finish looks flawless, smooth, premium, and really enhances the original colour. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail. Very happy with the…

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.

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…

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.

I got coating done on my car. Unfortunately they missed a patch on the bonnet in the middle where they couldn't reach (lol). Now I have a rectangle area where it collects dust more than the rest. And rain water doesn't slide as well as the rest. EDIT: They have fixed the patch 🙂 They fully deserve 5 star for their promptness and great customer service.

Jacky and his colleagues were very professional and did a wonderful job with the ceramic coating of my car. You can tell that they take pride in their work as evident by the work on my car. I highly recommend Liquid R.
Christine Wilson
Thanks Jacky & Sean, so happy with way my car looks! Awesome job guys, you both know your stuff!
Rob Saro
Jacky and the team came highly recommended. I was nervous because it's a brand new car (Kia Stinger) and I was being precious. After speaking to Jacky, I realised there was no way I could do ceramic coating with the dealership. It took around 6-8 weeks to get in. I went with package 3 which was tint, ceramic coat and interior but Jacky was able to adjust as I chose not to do the interior.
Byron Trzeciak
Jacky and the guys did an great job color correcting and applying ceramic to my 2015 Calais. Awesome job and easy to deal with. When comparing the coating to our other car (which we were also impressed with at the time) its like chalk and cheese. The water just beads and sheets off with a blower and doesn't require any hand drying. It's amazing stuff!

Frequently asked questions

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.
