The workmanship on my car is great, I liked it very much. It was carefully and meticulously cleaned. Ceramic coating quality is very good … Customer communication is great, thank you very much…
Polishing corrects suitable paint defects; ceramic coating helps maintain the prepared surface. The two jobs can be combined, but a coating does not make deep correction necessary for every car. Assess the paint, contamination and desired result first.
What does “ceramic polish” mean?
The phrase often describes paint correction followed by a coating. It is not a special polish that both removes scratches and provides long-term protection. Car polishing reduces suitable surface defects; ceramic coating is applied separately. It cannot replace missing paint or make existing damage disappear.
Is polishing needed before ceramic coating?
Preparation is necessary, but its scope depends on condition. After cleaning, assess swirls, holograms, spots and previous work. Even a new car may have dealer-wash marks; age alone does not dictate correction. Healthy paint does not automatically require aggressive polishing just to receive a coating.
Stages, compounds and intensity are chosen for the defects. A deep scratch or chip may need a different repair; polishing cannot remove every mark. See the light versus deep polishing guide for the limits.
How the work is planned
- Discuss paint condition, previous treatments and planned protection.
- Wash and remove contamination appropriately; assess remaining defects.
- Carry out the agreed correction where needed.
- Prepare a clean, dry surface and apply the chosen product according to its instructions.
- Agree on handover, curing requirements and the first wash.
Combining the stages in one visit is convenient and limits new contamination. Applying a coating after an earlier polish is still possible. If the car has been driven, clean and assess it again; that does not automatically require another deep polish of the entire body.
BESTAUTO polishing and coating prices
| Work | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Body polishing | from 690 ₾ |
| Full-body ceramic coating separately | from 500 ₾ |
| Body polishing + ceramic coating promotion | from 990 ₾ |
The separate coating price from 500 ₾ does not automatically include body polishing. The promotional combination is its own offer; adding two standalone starting prices does not establish its price. Preparation, scope and the final quote are agreed after assessment. Check the current price list before booking. Glass rain repellent and interior ceramic treatment are separate jobs.
Protection and its limits
Ceramic coating may ease washing and help maintain appearance, but it does not replace care. The current offer provides protection for up to 3 years, depending on the product and maintenance; this is not a promise of unchanged gloss under every usage pattern. Coating is not a stone-impact film.
Paint protection film and ceramic coating serve different needs. When combined, agree on preparation and film installation first, followed by a compatible coating on selected surfaces. Installing PPF over any existing ceramic coating is not a universal sequence: preparation must suit the materials.
Care after application
Handover, water exposure and the first wash depend on the selected product and application conditions. Obtain instructions for your car; universal seven-day or two-week rules do not fit every system. Remove contamination promptly with compatible products. Further abrasive polishing may affect the coating, so agree on correction and subsequent protection separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can ceramic coating be applied without deep correction?
Yes, if the surface condition and product requirements allow it. Cleaning and assessment are needed; intensive correction is chosen for specific defects.
Must both jobs happen on the same day?
A single visit is convenient, but surface readiness matters more than the calendar. If the car was used between stages, check preparation again.
Will ceramic coating remove scratches?
No. Assess correction separately; coating does not repair chips or deep damage.
Can a single panel be treated?
Agree on scope based on the condition and goal. Treating one panel does not by itself require polishing the whole car.
How long does the combination take?
Agree on timing after choosing correction and coating, including the required curing period. One fixed duration is not promised for every car.
All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili. Discuss preparation and coating with a convenient studio: share the model, defects and previous work. Photos help start the discussion but do not guarantee a final quote.
