The Drive from Donvale
From Donvale the workshop at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham is about 5.3 km away, roughly 10 minutes via Mitcham Road outside peak hour. There is parking on site and a bay booked for your arrival. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Satin and Stealth PPF
Satin film turns gloss paint into a satin finish without changing the colour, and it protects factory matte paint that can never be polished. The film takes the scratches and heals light marks, so the finish stays even.
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.
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.
How Self-Healing Film Works
PPF is urethane with an elastic top coat, one of the products and technologies we work with. Light scratches and wash marks sit in that top layer, and warmth from the sun or warm water relaxes them back out. A cut through the film is the damage that would otherwise have been in your paint.
Why Customers Come to Us

Exceptional services at Liquid R. Excellent workmanship and they know how to honour their work and customers.
John Lim
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.
Aidan Croxford
Had my new Model Y receive front end PPF, ceramic coating, interior protection and tinted windows. Very happy with the craftsmanship from Jacky and the team.
Tangy Ngo
Brought in my Tesla on a Friday and got in back the very next Friday for a full body PPF + graphene coating on top. To start with, this timeframe is impressive given the job they have done. On top, from start to finish, I received excellent communication and professionalism along the way, and of course, a flawless job done on the vehicle. It's hard to write any negatives, my car came out looking twice as good as…
Bas Dobbelaere
I Had my car cut and polished by Liquid R and can’t recommend these guys highly enough! Jacky thoroughly inspected the car and explained to me what needed to happen and the job was done really well. He also went through the proper washing and maintenance process for my car. Bobby was also very helpful when I picked up the car. Thanks guys!
Arash Koopal
I highly recommend choosing Liquid R for any of your vehicle care needs. I had the full exterior XPEL PPF (Paint Protection Film) applied to my 2025 M4 CS, along with the interior center console, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Working with both Jacky and Bobby throughout the entire process was an absolute pleasure.
Nicholas Mladenov
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.

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…

Jackie was super helpful from the very start. He was able to work his availability around my shift work roster. Perfect communication about products and price and fully transparent, no secret costs or upselling. Jackie obviously takes pride in his workmanship and it shows. Would recommend his services to anyone. For reference I had package 3 applied to a new vehicle and it looks better than the day I took delivery…
Mitchell Potts
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…

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.
Clear gloss film is very hard to spot because edges are wrapped and patterns are cut for the model.
For cars that do freeway kilometres, usually yes. One repainted bumper costs more than a wear and tear pack.
