PPF Ashburton
PPF near Ashburton
Liquid R serves Ashburton and the rest of Melbourne’s east from one workshop in Mitcham, about 15.9 km away and roughly 25 minutes by car outside peak hour. PPF, the clear film that stops stone chips, starts at $180 for headlights and runs to $5980 for every painted panel, with a full front from $1980.
Most drivers start with a full front: bonnet, bumper, guards and mirrors in self-healing film, fitted from patterns cut for the exact model so no blade touches the paint. Clear gloss and satin films come from Defcon Films Australia first and STEK second, and both are warranted in writing.
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.

Getting Here from Ashburton
From Ashburton the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 15.9 km away, roughly 25 minutes via 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 Moves a PPF Quote
Panel area sets the base price and shape does the rest: a deep bumper full of sensors and vents takes far more film and time than a flat bonnet. Swirled or resprayed paint is machine polished first, from $850, because film shows what is under it. The full breakdown is in our PPF cost guide.
Washing a Filmed Car
pH neutral shampoo, a soft mitt, no brush car washes, and keep the pressure washer a hand span from film edges. Bird droppings and sap should come off promptly, and stubborn water spots come out at our counter in minutes. The full routine is on our aftercare page.
Freeway Kilometres on Burwood Highway
Coming from Ashburton usually means time on Burwood Highway. Sitting behind traffic at freeway speed is the classic recipe for a chipped bonnet edge and a pitted bumper, which is why a full front is where most commuters start.
PPF or Ceramic Coating
Film stops stone chips. A ceramic coating makes the car easier to wash and holds the gloss, but does nothing against impacts. Plenty of owners run film on the front and a coating over the rest. Our PPF vs ceramic coating guide compares them.
Ashburton Customers, One Workshop
We are not a mobile service and we do not have a Ashburton shopfront. The work is done in Mitcham because PPF 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 PPF in Melbourne lists what to check.
Booking and Turnaround
Headlight film is under an hour, a full front about two days and full body film about a week. We agree the drop-off and pickup times with you up front, so a trip from Ashburton fits your week rather than the other way round. We are open weekdays 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays to 12:30pm.
Edges Wrapped, Not Cut Short
The edge is the weak point of any film job. Where the panel allows it, film is wrapped around the edge and finished out of sight, so there is no line to see and nothing for a pressure washer to lift. It is one of the checks in our guide to the best PPF.
Other Areas We Cover
Our PPF price list has the full range and prices. Nearby, we have also written up PPF in Burwood, PPF in Malvern, PPF in Oakleigh, PPF in Clayton and PPF in Glen Waverley, and the local area guides cover the rest of Melbourne.

Just had my BMW X5 done with the Paint Protection Pack 4 at Liquid R — couldn’t be happier. The car looks incredible, the gloss and finish are better than new. The team were great to deal with, explained everything clearly and really took pride in their work. The ceramic coating, PPF, tint and interior protection were all done perfectly. Worth every dollar if you want your car protected and looking its best.

This is the second car I've taken to the team at Liquid R and I cannot believe how good these guys are. Worth every cent to revive the paint work to better than new! Thank you very much Jacky and Bobby, keep up the fantastic work.

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…

The guys were fantastic, they took their time showing me the different products and were very knowledgeable. I had PPF applied to my previous vehicle by another company and wasn't happy with the result, however this time the job was impeccable. The upgrades I selected raised the price substantially, but it was worth it. I'll be taking my other cars there as well. I highly recommend Liquid R.
Just an average guy
I have nothing but great things to say about Jacky and the team at Liquid R. I first contacted Jacky after ordering my new car 15 months ago and he gave me quotes etc for the full front end wrap, ceramic coating, interior coat and window tinting (package 4). Due to uncertainty over how long the new car would take to deliver, we kept in communication over the year, knowing he was booked out 2 months in advance.

Many thanks to Jackie and the team at Liquid R for always making my cars look amazing. Highly recommended.
Joe Luca
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. The paint is decontaminated and machine polished where needed first, then filmed.
