What is a detailing car wash and how do you choose the right care?

The steps, package scope and questions to ask before a hand wash in Tbilisi.

A detailing car wash is a sequence of cleaning steps that pays attention to the body, difficult areas and interior. At BESTAUTO in Tbilisi, it includes a prewash, hand washing, drying and routine interior cleaning. Allow 55 ₾ and about 1.5 hours for two phases, or 65 ₾ and 2–2.5 hours for three. Here is how to compare the work and choose suitable care.

If drying leaves rings or streaks, the water spots on paint and ceramic coating guide helps record the care history, assess a clean, dry surface and agree treatment for a persistent mark.

What BESTAUTO includes

An active-foam prewash and rinse come before hand contact with the body. The car is then shampooed using two buckets: one holds the solution, the other rinses the wash accessory. Wheels, seals and hard-to-reach areas are cleaned with suitable detailing brushes.

StepWhat happens
PrewashFoam and rinsing remove the main dirt before hand washing.
Hand washThe body is shampooed; wheels and difficult areas are cleaned.
DryingClean microfibre dries the body; air removes trapped water from tight areas.
Interior cleaningCabin and boot vacuuming, mats, surface wiping and inside windows.
Extra third-phase stepFast Quartz protective treatment is applied to the body before drying.

Clean tools and prewashing help reduce grit transfer to the paint during contact. They do not guarantee the absence of every mark or correct existing damage.

Package prices and time

Two-phase wash + interior — 55 ₾, about 1.5 hours. It includes prewashing, hand washing, drying and routine interior cleaning. Three-phase wash + interior — 65 ₾, 2–2.5 hours. Fast Quartz is added to the same work. Prices apply to every body type; time depends on the car's condition.

Fast Quartz is a wash protective finish selected for the surface, without a fixed lifespan promise. Read the two-phase and three-phase comparison to choose a package. See the full list on the car wash and prices page.

Ceramic coating, PPF and matte finishes

When booking, describe the installed protection and installation date. Care depends on the particular material and the maker's and installer's guidance. Ask the installer when newly fitted film can first be washed; one waiting period does not suit every film.

For matte paint or film, agree any extra protective finish separately. Ceramic coatings and PPF also need cleaning. See our guide to washing a protected car.

How to compare car washes

  • Ask about the actual steps, interior cleaning and time to allow.
  • Check how contact tools are cleaned and how wheel and body care are kept separate.
  • Mention installed protection and confirm product and extra-finish compatibility.
  • Discuss difficult contamination and separate work before starting.

The word “detailing”, a product's country of origin or a pH number does not replace checking its intended use and instructions. For example, Koch-Chemie's Gentle Snow Foam instructions require compatibility checks and say not to let it dry. Other products have their own instructions.

Work outside the wash package

Routine interior cleaning does not include deep seat cleaning and difficult stain removal. An engine wash for 80 ₾ and ozone treatment for 70 ₾ are separate services. They are not automatically added to the 55/65 ₾ packages.

Washing removes contamination but cannot repair missing paint, deep damage or corrosion. Remaining marks are assessed after cleaning; whether body polishing is suitable depends on the surface. Agree the scope, price and time of extra work separately.

Before booking

Describe the finish, the car's condition and your preferred date. Discuss two phases for care without an extra finish, or whether three phases with Fast Quartz suit your surface. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili.

Choose a location in the service contact section and message on WhatsApp or call: the team will confirm available times. Opening a chat does not book an appointment. Base wash frequency on contamination and use; see the Tbilisi wash-schedule guide.

Common questions

Do both packages include the interior?

Yes: cabin and boot vacuuming, mats, surface wiping and inside windows. Deep interior cleaning is a separate service.

Does it take 15–20 minutes?

These programmes have different time estimates: about 1.5 hours for two phases, or 2–2.5 hours for three. The time depends on the car's condition and is agreed with the studio.

Does a PPF-covered car always need three phases?

The number of phases alone does not establish film compatibility. Describe the material and agree the products and Fast Quartz treatment with the technician.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on conditions, skills and products. Use clean suitable tools and follow the car, coating and product instructions. A particular mitt brand or reverse-osmosis system is not a universal requirement for every situation.

Will a wash remove water spots and scratches?

Some marks may remain after cleaning. Their cause and further treatment are assessed separately, without promising that one wash removes every defect.

Google Maps Wash · quick
Great service, brand-new equipment and a great location. I had my car washed — everything quick and precise. The reception area deserves a separate mention: lots of space, good coffee and massage chairs.

Google Maps Tesla Model Y
Bestauto Detailing delivered a true showroom finish on my Tesla Model Y. The paint now has a deep, mirror gloss, the wheels and glass are spotless, and the interior feels refreshed—everything simply sparkles. Communication was clear, turnaround was prompt…
