Ceramic Coating South Yarra
Ceramic Coating for South Yarra Drivers
Looking for ceramic coating near South Yarra? Liquid R is about 27.4 km away in Mitcham, 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.
Every quote is a fixed figure before the car is booked, and it is the same whichever suburb you come from. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

The Drive from South Yarra
From South Yarra the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 27.4 km away, roughly 35 minutes via Eastern Freeway Onramp outside peak hour. There is parking on site and a bay booked for your arrival. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
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.
Coating Over PPF
A ceramic layer can go over paint protection film in the same booking for $650. The film takes the stone chips and the coating keeps it easy to wash.
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.
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.
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.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
Liquid R has one workshop, in Mitcham, and South Yarra customers come to it. That is deliberate: ceramic coating work needs clean indoor bays and proper lighting that a mobile setup cannot match, and every job is done by our own team. 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. We agree the drop-off and pickup times with you up front, so a trip from South Yarra fits your week rather than the other way round. 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.

Exceptional services at Liquid R. Excellent workmanship and they know how to honour their work and customers.
John Lim
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.
Alex Gramatakos
Extremely happy with the service. Jacky is professional and has a wealth of knowledge. He is honest and actually cares for his customers AND their cars. Would highly recommend.
Anita Shoghi
Jacky was very thorough in explaining how to care for the ceramic coat he applied on our new car. He takes the time to really explain and was available to answer further questions even after the transaction. Pricing is…

From my previous Subaru to my current Toyota, I’ve always gone to Jacky. They offer customised solutions tailored to your needs and provide a suitable package. The results have been very satisfying. High quality you won’t regret…
colby kwong
Booked our new car in for the ceramic coating and window tint package liquid r offers already knowing the quality and pricing is going to be much better than a car dealer. Jacky and his team have an absolutely ridiculous eye for detail and went above and beyond to make sure the car was looking as you’d expect being brand new.
Dillon
Jacky and his team did an excellent job with the PPF and 3M Ceramic Tint. Its been 2 years since it was applied and the car still looks like new. You won't know the car has PPF applied, that is how flawless it is. Definitely coming back.
Steven Yap
Jacky and the Liquid R team did an amazing job putting on ceramic coating on my aurora white car. Cant imagine it can be more slick than a brand new paint. Pick up and handover was awesome as Jacky provide a detailed walkthrough on how to properly maintain the it. Will bring my other car soon.

Hey there! So, you've been eyeing up that ceramic-coated shine for your ride, right? Well, let me tell you about my experience at Liquid R. It took a bit of patience to snag a spot – a couple of months, to be exact – but boy, was it worth the wait! At first, I admit, I had my doubts. But as soon as I saw the finished job, any hesitation melted away like snow in the Aussie sun.

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!

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.
Two to five years in normal Melbourne use with a proper wash routine, and longer on well maintained cars.
DIY kits skip the preparation. Applied over contaminated, uncorrected paint they lock in the problems and last a fraction as long.
