PPF Melbourne CBD
PPF near Melbourne CBD
Melbourne CBD drivers come to Liquid R in Mitcham for PPF. The workshop is about 27.1 km from Melbourne CBD, 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 Melbourne CBD 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 Melbourne CBD
The run from Melbourne CBD to Cook Road in Mitcham is about 27.1 km via Eastern Freeway. Outside peak hour that is around 40 minutes, and you park on site when you arrive. If you would rather not wait, Mitcham and Heatherdale stations on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines are both about 1.5 km from the workshop. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Films We Fit
Clear gloss and satin films come from Defcon Films Australia first, with STEK as our second range. STEK DYNO films carry a ten year warranty against yellowing, bubbling, cracking and delamination.
Freeway Kilometres on Eastern Freeway
Coming from Melbourne CBD usually means time on Eastern Freeway. 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.
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.
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.
Melbourne CBD Customers, One Workshop
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from Melbourne CBD. 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.
How Long the Car Stays
Headlight film is under an hour, a full front about two days and full body film about a week. Coming from Melbourne CBD, it makes sense to combine jobs, such as film and coating, or a detail with tint, into one booking so the drive happens once. We confirm the timing when you book.
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.

Jacky and the team at Liquid R did a fantastic job with a full PPF wrap and window tinting on my 300 Series LandCruiser. Great pre and post sales service too. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Jackie and the team at liquid R have installed Bushwraps on 2 of my Hiluxs now and they have both been perfect, the most recent one also had custom work done. The vehicle came straight from the dealer and we spent the time to work out exactly what I was after, the work was completed then the vehicle went to ARB.
Alex Gramatakos
I had a ceramic coating and a paint protection film (PPF) package applied by Liquid R, with Jacky and Bob overseeing the process. I am very pleased with the results. After I dropped off my car at Liquid R one night, I noticed through the My Toyota App that my 2025 Toyota LC 300 was parked in a different location.
Lakmal K
Jacky and the team did a fantastic job on my Golf VW GTI with PPF and Ceramic Coating. The King's Red on the car popped out, with a smooth and slick to the touch! Professional and flexible to your needs without trying to put their opinion on you in an attempt to overwrite you as if your needs are stupid. Competitive pricing as well! Highly recommend these guys. Note: Better book in quick!

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…

Cannot fault Liquid.R service and work done on our new car. From initial contact, Jacky invited me to the work shop and discussions about what work I wanted done. He was so helpful and thorougher. I’m so happy I went with Jacky and his team for my new pride and joy and can’t thank his organisation enough. Considerate, attention to detail, genuine love of what they do and price I found to be very competitive.

This is my third car I've done the TLC package for at Liquid R (paint correction & ceramic coating), and the guys managed to surprise me again!! The car is looking better than showroom condition. I can't endorse those guys enough, Jacky and Bobby are extremely professional and helpful, they are the best in this business from what I know. P.S.

Jacky and the crew at Liquid R completed full PPF (paint protection film) on my SQ8, the end result is out standing! 🤩🤩🤩 never in my life have i seen water bead off body panels like it does now!! They even put PPF on my lower door sills so my wheelchair doesn't scuff my paint work when i get in and out. i have booked in my 2nd car for PPF as well…
Zane Williams
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.
Headlight film is under an hour, small coverage is done within the day, a full front is about two days and full body film is about a week.
