Ceramic Coating Sunshine
Ceramic Coating Sunshine: Done in Mitcham
Liquid R serves Sunshine and the rest of Melbourne’s west from one workshop in Mitcham, about 37.7 km away and roughly 55 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.
Preparation is most of the job: a foam pre-wash, iron and tar removal, clay and machine polishing under inspection lights before the coating goes on. We use Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Envoke ProCoat+ 7 Year Graphene Coating, cured indoors.
Customers from Sunshine pay the same as everyone else, because the price follows the car and the work. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 to book.

The Drive from Sunshine
Allow roughly 55 minutes from Sunshine outside peak hour. The route is about 37.7 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sunshine Customers, One Workshop
We have no branch out near Sunshine, only our Mitcham workshop. If the drive suits you, the work is done indoors by staff who do this every day, and the booking is planned around a single trip. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best ceramic coating in Melbourne lists what to check.
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.

Customer Reviews
Real reviews from Liquid R customers, verified and published by hand.
Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
Jacky and the team showed meticulous care and incredible attention to detail when installing a ceramic coating on my new RS3. The car came out far better than when it left the show-room floor and far surpassed my expectations. The handwashing tutorial that Jacky ran me through upon collection was also a great knowledge transfer & showed true dedication to their craft. 11/10, can't recommend enough.

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.
Kento Nishimatsu

Liquid R have a great reputation and to have my car done with them, they have more than lived up to that reputation easily. Class, thoughtful suggestions on best options to choose and flawless PPF implementation have me blown away at the finished product and I feel an added value to my car both in how much better it presents with their work and also feeling confident their PPF product and pro application will…

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
I asked the guys to help with ceramic coating and tinting my vehicle and was super pleased with the results. The place looks super high-tech and very clean and the consultation seemed like they really care about paint and wrapping/tinting. Had to leave car overnight for the ceramic coating and tinting to take, so when you book keep this in mind. On pickup the car was ready and waiting and I was taken through the…

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…

Judge any shop on the things that decide the result: a professional grade coating, full decontamination and machine polish first, indoor curing and a written warranty. That is how we work at our Mitcham workshop, about 37.7 km from Sunshine, and we are happy to show you finished cars before you book.
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.
If you keep the car more than a couple of years, usually yes. It replaces the wax cycle and keeps the paint from dulling.
