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.
Ceramic coating makes care easier, but road dirt, insects and other deposits still need removing. Regular washing helps maintain the surface's appearance and performance. BESTAUTO ceramic protection is offered for up to 3 years with suitable care; actual performance depends on use and coating condition. Here is how to plan routine care and respond when water behaviour changes.
How often to wash a ceramic-coated car
Combine the installed product's recommendations with actual contamination. A garaged car, daily drives on dusty streets and a return from winter roads call for different attention. Inspect the surface regularly; a fixed interval does not describe every coating's condition.
| Situation | How to adjust care |
|---|---|
| Regular city use | Wash as dirt builds up, considering product guidance and storage conditions. |
| Dust and grit on the body | Remove loose contamination with a suitable pre-wash before contact; avoid dry wiping. |
| Insects, bird residue or sap | Remove promptly by an approved method rather than waiting for the next scheduled wash. |
| Travel on treated winter roads | Inspect affected areas and arrange suitable cleaning for the car's condition. |
Do not leave deposits simply to follow a calendar, or assume frequent gentle washing guarantees faster coating failure. Chemistry, contact, conditions and the product matter more than an arbitrary number of days.
A regular washing routine
Once the first wash is permitted, start with pre-cleaning to reduce loose dirt and grit before contact. Use a compatible shampoo and clean, soft tools. Monitor dirt on the mitt or cloth and keep the dirtiest lower areas separate.
Two buckets are one way to rinse tools separately from the wash solution; controlling dirt transfer matters more than a promise of no scratches based on bucket count. Touchless cleaning is useful as a stage but may leave bonded road film. Avoid compensating with rough rubbing.
Gtechniq's ceramic-wash guidance describes pre-cleaning, soft contact and drying. This is a manufacturer example; choose cleaners and extra treatments using the installed product's instructions. For chemistry and the first wash after installation, see the ceramic and PPF care guide.
Drying and water marks
Rinse the cleaner thoroughly and use suitable drying: a clean, soft drying microfibre or an approved method without contact. Keep contact light and tools clean. Do not let cleaner dry on hot bodywork or in direct sunlight.
Water that dries on the surface can leave mineral deposits. If marks have already appeared, avoid choosing a strong cleaner at random or immediately starting abrasive polishing. Assess the surface and a permitted cleaning method first. A fabric's GSM figure alone does not prove a tool is suitable.
If water stops beading as before
Different water behaviour does not prove that ceramic coating has completely disappeared. Contamination, maintenance-product residue and coating condition can affect it. Start with inspection and suitable cleaning, then discuss whether another treatment is useful.
A booster or maintenance product may change surface behaviour, but it does not automatically replace coating reapplication or guarantee a fixed extension of its life. Do not prescribe it from a calendar alone. Clay, polishing and strong cleaners need an assessment of surface suitability; a regular two-phase wash does not automatically include them.
The ceramic-coating page explains application and preparation. Ceramic and PPF protection film serve different purposes; one observation of water drops is not a sufficient reason to replace the protection.
BESTAUTO regular wash prices
Detailing washing with cabin cleaning costs 55 GEL for two phases, approximately 1.5 hours, or 65 GEL for three phases, 2–2.5 hours. Before choosing, tell the studio which ceramic product was applied, when, and what care instructions you received. A fresh coating needs permission for its first wash from the application team.
Agree the finish, extra work and its cost before washing starts. Engine bay cleaning at 80 GEL is separate, with timing agreed separately. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili. The current price list helps you check other services. Choose a studio and agree a visit time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I wash a ceramic-coated car every week?
Frequency depends on contamination and product instructions. With suitable products and technique, the calendar alone does not prove faster wear; prompt deposit removal remains important.
Is a touchless wash enough?
It may remove loose dirt while leaving some bonded film. Inspect the surface and choose a suitable hand-wash stage when needed, instead of increasing rough contact.
Do I need a booster every six months?
Not by default for every coating. Follow product instructions and inspection, and agree the purpose and cost of any extra treatment separately.
Does reduced water beading mean I need new ceramic coating?
Not necessarily. Check contamination and care-product residue first. After suitable cleaning, a specialist can help assess whether maintenance is enough or coating renewal is needed.
