PPF Elwood
PPF near Elwood
Liquid R serves Elwood and the rest of inner Melbourne from one workshop in Mitcham, about 27.1 km away and roughly 40 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.
Customers from Elwood 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 Elwood
The run from Elwood to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 27.1 km via Burwood Highway. 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.
Full Front PPF from $1980
Bonnet, front bumper, guards and mirrors in self-healing film, about two days in the workshop. Freeway gravel lands almost entirely on the front third of a car, which is why most daily drivers stop here.
Film on a New Car First
Film bonds best to paint that has never seen a freeway, so the ideal booking is straight from the dealer. We photograph any delivery defects before covering them, and new car packages bundle film with coating and tint.
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.
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.
One Workshop, in Mitcham
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from Elwood. What you get for the drive is indoor bays, inspection lighting and our own team on your car, rather than a van in a car park. 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. From Elwood, most people bundle work into one visit: tint with a detail, or film with a coating, so the car only makes the trip once. We confirm the timing when you book.
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.

I brought my CLA45 in for a wrap and had a great experience. Jacky and his team were always helpful and responsive. The final result looks fantastic. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a wrap.
Ambrose Li
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
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…
Caleb
Very happy with the service provided, Jacky was very professional and knowledgeable in his field and he exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend his services.
Ezekiel Lambert
Jacky and his team have a great eye for detail and did a great job on our new car. He took the time to go over after care thoroughly to ensure I understood it well. He clearly takes pride in his work and I would highly recommend.
Jacinta Kong
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
Jacky and team at Liquid R were extremely knowledgable, helpful and professional. Jacky was very accomodating with my appointment and rescheduled multiple times due to delays with the arrival of my new car. The PPF, ceramic coating and tinting was done well, and the ongoing support is also great (my million questions were all answered!). Highly recommended for any level of detailing required!
Lily
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.
Martin Kranz
Jacky and the guys did an great job color correcting and applying ceramic to my 2015 Calais. Awesome job and easy to deal with. When comparing the coating to our other car (which we were also impressed with at the time) its like chalk and cheese. The water just beads and sheets off with a blower and doesn't require any hand drying. It's amazing stuff!
Jason Krohn
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…

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.
Yes. The paint is decontaminated and machine polished where needed first, then filmed.
Clear gloss film is very hard to spot because edges are wrapped and patterns are cut for the model.
