PPF Balwyn
PPF near Balwyn
Balwyn drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for PPF. The workshop is about 11.5 km from Balwyn, roughly 20 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.
The film is a clear urethane layer with a self-healing top coat, so light scratches relax out in the sun. We fit it in our own indoor bays, with the maker’s warranty on the film and ours on the installation, plus a free check in the first month.
Customers from Balwyn 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 Balwyn
The run from Balwyn to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 11.5 km via Whitehorse Road. Outside peak hour that is around 20 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Headlight Film from $180
Polycarbonate headlight lenses yellow and pit, and a modern headlight unit can cost more than a full front of film. Precut clear film keeps them clear and goes on in under an hour while you wait.
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.
Car Park Knocks and Stone Chips
Local driving brings its own damage: door edges tapped in shopping centre car parks, handle cups scratched by rings, and stones from the car in front. A wear and tear pack from $380 covers the first two.
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.
PPF on Utes, 4WDs and EVs
Utes get film on tray rails and tailgate edges, 4WD tourers get thicker Bushwrapz film, and electric cars with soft factory paint often go straight to full body film. Glass roofs can take Crystal Shield from $350.
Why Customers Come to Us
Balwyn is close enough that a separate branch would make no sense. All PPF work happens in Mitcham, in ten indoor bays, done by the same people who quote it. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best PPF in Melbourne lists what to check.
How Long the Car Stays
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 Balwyn fits your week rather than the other way round. We are open weekdays 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays to 12:30pm.
Free Check in the First Month
Every film job includes a free inspection in the first month to look over the edges, and we suggest a yearly check after that. Booking it takes a phone call.

Took my car for PPF and ceramic coat. I was very pleased with the result when I picked up the car. On top of that, Jacky is very honest and friendly, highly recommended Liquid R to all car lovers and enthusiasts out there. I will be back with my other cars for sure.

Jacky and the team have been super helpful with my cars. I got our Land Cruiser bush wrapped/clear wrapped here a year ago plus tinted windows. Amazing job and Jacky/Bobby helped me understand my window tinting choices. I’m a car sprayer by trade so appreciate the attention to detail in all there work. On that note the work shop is bright and immaculate. 100% recommended and great pricing.
Paul Ross
Jacky and team were amazing. From the moment we first walked in the door to make our initial inquiries to the day we dropped off to the day we picked up nothing was too much trouble. Jacky was extremely passionate and knowledgeable and so easy to deal with. The team were very particular in their work. Then there is the final product. An absolutely amazing result.

I can't thank Jacky, Bobby, and the team enough for the fantastic PPF work they did on my van: incredible workmanship and an absolute pleasure to deal with- Highly recommended.

Outstanding Service and Quality – Highly Recommend Liquid R! I had XPEL tint installed at Liquid R, and the experience was exceptional. Jacky and his team provided top-quality workmanship, brilliant communication, and world-class customer service. From start to finish, they kept me informed, explained my options clearly, and ensured a flawless installation. The tint looks incredible, and their attention to detail…

Extremely professional service from Jacky and the team. Everything was explained thoroughly and I never felt worried throughout the whole process. The team went above and beyond. I got the XPEL PPF wrap and it turned out…

3 cars in 5 years! Jacky, Bobby and their team have consistently provided excellent service all these years. From ceramic coating to PPF of my new car and to clean up of my cars for sale. The experience and skills of the team gives me great confidence that my cars are in good hands. Great work Liquid R!
John Ling
It's not often people share a positive experience but here's five stars for Jacky and Liquid R. Dropped our newly purchased Tesla Model 3 off to Jacky and the team for their 'package 4' deal which includes front half covered in PPF, ceramic coat of exterior and interior protection, and window tint. Early days so we can't comment on the quality of product however the car looks amazing. Have gone to other detailers…

Edit on 19/07/2024: I bought a new car (picture added) and got an updated version of what I got with my i30N (now called Paint Protection Pack 4) with an upgrade on the tint. Same experience as before, so would again wholeheartedly recommend. Also my car feels so silky, its surreal. ### The short version: Bobby and Jacky are running an incredibly knowledgeable and professional business.

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.
Film stops stone chips and a coating makes the car easier to keep clean. Many owners do film on the front and a coating over the rest.
Clear gloss film is very hard to spot because edges are wrapped and patterns are cut for the model.
