Ceramic Coating Southbank
Ceramic Coating near Southbank
Liquid R serves Southbank and the rest of inner Melbourne from one workshop in Mitcham, about 28.5 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.
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 Southbank
The run from Southbank to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 28.5 km via Eastern Freeway Onramp. Outside peak hour that is around 40 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
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.
Coating an Older Car
Older paint often shows the biggest change. The process is the same: decontaminate, correct what correction can fix, then coat. The coating locks in the corrected finish and makes it far easier to keep.
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.
Wheel Ceramic at $60 a Wheel
Brake dust bakes onto bare alloys and pits the finish. A wheel ceramic, $60 per wheel, handles the heat and lets the dust rinse off before it bonds.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
Liquid R has one workshop, in Mitcham, and it is a fair drive from Southbank. Customers make the trip because the work is done indoors by our own team rather than in a driveway, and we plan the booking so it takes one visit, not several. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best ceramic coating in Melbourne lists what to check.
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.

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.
No. It protects against UV, staining, water spots and wash marks. Stone chips need paint protection film.
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.
