The Drive from Preston
From Preston the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 22.9 km away, roughly 35 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.
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.
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.
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.
How Long It Lasts
A professionally applied coating protects for two to five years in normal Melbourne use, and well maintained cars have stretched ours toward nine. The wash routine makes most of the difference, and our list of mistakes to avoid after a coating covers the rest.
Why Customers Come to Us
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Preston 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.
Planning the Visit
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.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
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…
Jessica Palmieri
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
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.

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!
Roger Whitbread
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
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.

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!
Jason Krohn
Some places allow you to pay for better, best and then perfect service. The default position here is only the best will do. Jacky and the rest of team are totally committed to the highest of standards on top of that their customer service is second to none. Hence why I was happy to do a 6 hour round trip, twice, to have them do PPF and ceramic. Don’t go anywhere else as there is no need. Simple amazing product…

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.
Two to five years in normal Melbourne use with a proper wash routine, and longer on well maintained cars.
Both protect the clear coat. Graphene is slicker and spots less on hot panels, which suits cars parked outside.
