Ceramic Coating South Melbourne
Ceramic Coating South Melbourne: Done in Mitcham
Liquid R serves South Melbourne and the rest of inner Melbourne from one workshop in Mitcham, about 27.7 km away and roughly 40 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.

South Melbourne to Mitcham
From South Melbourne the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 27.7 km away, roughly 40 minutes via CityLink and Burwood Highway 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
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.
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.
Road Grime From the Commute
Freeway driving on roads like CityLink 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.
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.
Why Customers Come to Us
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from South Melbourne. 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. Coming from South Melbourne, it makes sense to combine jobs, such as film and coating, or a detail with tint, into one booking so the drive happens once. We confirm the timing when you book.
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.

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