Paint Protection South Melbourne
Paint Protection South Melbourne: PPF, Coating and Tint
For car paint protection near South Melbourne, Liquid R is one workshop in Mitcham, about 27.7 km and roughly 40 minutes away outside peak hour. Everything is done indoors in our own bays by our own team: PPF in South Melbourne from $180, ceramic coating in South Melbourne from $980, window tinting in South Melbourne from $495 and car detailing in South Melbourne with machine polishing from $850.
Paint protection is two different jobs: film stops stone chips, a coating keeps the paint glossy and easy to wash. Many owners do both in one booking.

PPF in South Melbourne
Self-healing film on the panels that take stone chips, from $180 for headlights to $5980 for every painted panel, with a full front from $1980. Details and booking on our PPF in South Melbourne.
Protecting the Clear Coat
UV, bird droppings and water spots all attack bare clear coat. A professional coating buys time and keeps colour from fading. Details on ceramic coating in South Melbourne.
Freeway Kilometres on CityLink
Coming from South Melbourne usually means time on CityLink. 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.

Customer Reviews
Real reviews from Liquid R customers, verified and published by hand.
Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
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.

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…

I had my car tinted and ceramic coating at Liquid R again, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service were outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality tinting and ceramic coating.

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…

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
I initially would like to bring my new car to a well known local auto TLC shop 800 meters away who also does ceramic coating & tinted windows (I live in Clayton where plenty of auto shops around); their prices are much higher for the same services compared to LiquidR and my friend convinced me to take my new car to LiquidR instead; albeit the distance. The decision is worth it.
Ivan Adrianto
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.
Adel Baz
Liquid R did an awesome job on my pride and joy. Keep up the great work! Not forgetting Jacky, who provides advice and available options which fit your budget.
Andrew Lai
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…
