Car Detailing Cost in Tbilisi: Prices and Budget

When people ask about detailing prices in Tbilisi, the same question comes up again and again: “How much will my car cost?” The honest answer almost always starts with: it depends on the result you want. Safe hand wash, interior deep cleaning, body polishing, ceramic coating, and PPF film are no longer one and the same category of services. Each one has its own purpose, its own level of labor, and its own end result.

There is no single average price for detailing in Tbilisi. Basic care may be enough for a clean car; paint defects may call for polishing after inspection. Paint protection film is an option when protection of exposed body panels is the goal. Choose the service by the task rather than buying every treatment.

What Determines the Price of Detailing

Five main factors usually shape the final cost.

1. Type of Service

The biggest influence on price is what exactly you are doing to the car. A safe hand wash is one thing. Deep interior cleaning is another. Multi-stage car polishing is a third. And PPF installation is already a separate segment. The more technically complex the service and the more time the team spends on it, the higher the total budget.

2. Vehicle Size and Shape

Vehicle size can change the scope and cost of polishing, ceramic coating and PPF installation. A detailing wash is priced by package (55 or 65 ₾), and interior cleaning by soil category (400, 500 or 550 ₾); body type does not change those rates.

3. The Car’s Current Condition

If the vehicle has been well maintained, pricing is usually more predictable. But if the body has a lot of circular wash marks, oxidation, water spots, or heavy contamination, the amount of work grows noticeably. The same is true for the interior: a lightly soiled cabin and a heavily neglected one do not require the same amount of time.

4. The Goal of the Result

The goal sets the scope: polishing improves paint appearance, ceramic coating makes care easier, and PPF adds a protective film layer. Discuss coverage of vulnerable panels if road abrasion is your concern. A full protection package is not necessary when the task is interior cleanliness or restoring gloss.

5. One Service or a Package

One service may be enough. Combine preparation and polishing with ceramic coating, or preparation with partial PPF, when those steps match the task. The listed polishing + ceramic offer starts at 990 GEL. Other combinations need an agreed scope; adding individual price rows does not create a fixed package price.

Current Detailing Prices in Tbilisi in 2026

Below are rates from the BESTAUTO price page. Wash and interior-cleaning rates are the same for every vehicle type; polishing, ceramic coating, PPF and other custom work are quoted after inspection.

Basic Care and Interior Cleaning

• Two-phase wash + interior — 55 GEL, about 1.5 hours; three-phase + interior — 65 GEL, 2–2.5 hours.
• interior deep cleaning for light contamination — from 400 GEL;
• interior deep cleaning for medium contamination — from 500 GEL;
• interior deep cleaning for heavy contamination — from 550 GEL;
• Ozone treatment — 70 GEL.

Interior cleaning has the same scope at the starting rates of 400, 500 and 550 GEL. Dirt level and pet hair affect the final price. Body type does not change wash or interior-cleaning rates; any additional work is discussed separately.

Polishing and Visual Renewal

• body polishing — from 690 GEL;
• body polishing + ceramic coating — from 990 GEL;
• headlight polishing — from 150 GEL;
• interior trim polishing — from 200 GEL;
• windshield polishing — from 200 GEL; side-window polishing — from 100 GEL.

Polishing is appropriate for visual defects that can be corrected within the condition of the paint. It is not a film barrier and does not promise to remove every defect. Preparation of a new or used car is chosen after inspection; extra protection depends on the owner’s goal.

Ceramic Coatings

• full ceramic coating for the body — from 500 GEL;
• interior ceramic coating — from 300 GEL;
• rain repellent / ceramic coating for glass — from 150 GEL.

ceramic coating is the right choice when the goal is easier maintenance, stronger gloss, and a cleaner look for longer. But it is not a substitute for PPF where real physical protection is the priority.

PPF Protection

Clear PPF: partial front protection starts at 2500 GEL, full-body coverage at 6900 GEL. Lux adds 1700 GEL, making full Lux coverage start at 8600 GEL. The final quote depends on the model, film, coverage and preparation. Partial coverage directs the budget to exposed zones; full coverage is a choice for protecting the entire body, not a requirement based solely on vehicle age, colour or value.

Window Tint and Comfort Services

Window tint: front side windows from 130 GEL, rear side windows from 130 GEL, rear window from 160 GEL, windshield from 290 GEL. The film and window configuration determine the final quote.

Colour Wrapping and Soundproofing

Colour change: protective coloured PPF from 7900 GEL, vinyl wrapping from 6900 GEL, chrome delete from 300 GEL. Full soundproofing starts at 2100 GEL; choose individual zones according to the noise source and budget.

Glass Repair

Chip repair starts at 60 GEL for damage up to 2 cm and 80 GEL for 2–5 cm. Crack repair: up to 15 cm from 95 GEL, 15–30 cm from 140 GEL. The latter needs inspection and is not always worthwhile. Glass-polishing rates are listed above.

Three of the Most Practical Budget Scenarios

1. Basic Maintenance Package

If the car mostly needs freshness and regular upkeep, the most practical starting point is detailing wash plus, if needed, light interior cleaning or ozone treatment. This is the most budget-friendly route and often enough for cars that are generally in decent condition.

2. Visual Refresh Package

If the paintwork already looks tired, the practical route is body polishing or body polishing + ceramic coating. This makes the car look much cleaner and more finished, while also making maintenance easier afterward.

3. Long-Term Protection Package

When protection is the goal, discuss PPF on the most exposed panels or the full body. Preparation is selected after inspection. You can limit coverage to fit the budget; vehicle age, colour and price do not require a particular protection package.

What the Client Is Actually Paying For

When you pay for detailing, you are not paying only for products. You are paying for process, time, safe techniques, lighting, proper preparation, experience, and the ability to choose the right solution instead of the most aggressive or the most “marketable” one.

Compare what each quote includes: surfaces treated, preparation, materials, quality checks and any optional work. Price alone does not establish quality; ask the studio to separate necessary steps from extras.

Final Takeaway

Start with the task — cleanliness, appearance, comfort or protection — and agree the work before booking. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili. See the complete price list and each service page for current terms. This guide does not set a single fixed price for “full detailing.”
