Prices from ads
On 25 September 2026 AutoDiler had 36 ads in car cosmetic services: 15 for polishing, 14 for deep cleaning, four for other services and three for regular washing. As many as 23 are from Podgorica, four from Bar, three from Budva, two from Cetinje and one each from Nikšić, Danilovgrad, Tivat and Kotor, and 26 were posted or refreshed in 2025 and 2026. A service price in the field or the description appeared in 13 of those 26 ads, from 12 providers. How we choose and label price sources is explained in how we measure prices.

|---|---|---|
| Regular car wash(vehicle) | €10–€20 | Nikšić; in Bar €15, SUV €20 |
| Car deep cleaning(vehicle) | €40–€110 | Podgorica €45 and €50, Budva €40, Nikšić up to €110 |

Source: AutoDiler, 13 ads with a price in car cosmetic services, posted or refreshed in 2025 and 2026, read on 25.09.2026. N = 12 providers.
Five ads offer to come to you or to collect the car: two for headlights, one for deep cleaning at your home address, and two, from Bar and Budva, that collect the car and bring it back washed. For paint polishing and ceramic coating no ad from 2025 or 2026 had a price: Top Detailing Centar in Podgorica offers single-stage and multi-stage polishing and a LUX treatment, but marked "price on request".
One workshop's price list
Lazi auto servis in Budva publishes starting prices for both mechanical work and washing:
| Service | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic body wash(vehicle) | €10 | starting price |
| Deep cleaning(vehicle) | €30 | starting price |
| Dry cleaning(vehicle) | €50 | starting price |
| Hard wax(vehicle) | €50 | starting price |
Source: Lazi auto servis, Budva, “from” prices, read on 25.09.2026. N = 1 workshop.
These are "from" prices, so the final price depends on the size and condition of the car; the workshop says its list of services is wider than what is published. The same providers often clean furniture too: four of the 36 ads also offer deep cleaning of furniture, and prices for sofas, armchairs and mattresses are in our furniture deep cleaning guide.
Doing it yourself: what it costs at Okov
For headlights and paint Okov sells kits, polishes and polishers, and for washing shampoos, waxes and microfibre cloths:
| Service | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| K2 Vapron Pro headlight restoration kit(kit) | €39.9 | 600 ml refill €19.90 |
| Sonax headlight polish(250 ml) | €15.9 | |
| Sonax Profiline polishing paste(pack) | €32–€49.9 | four pastes |
| Polisher(piece) | €79.9–€319.9 | from Einhell to DeWalt |
| Car shampoo(pack) | €2.19–€16.9 | from 500 ml to 5 l |
| Car wax(pack) | €3.49–€14.9 | K2 and Armor All |
| Car microfibre cloth(piece) | €0.99–€16.9 | up to an 80 × 50 cm drying towel |
Source: Okov, search, prices read on 25.09.2026.
The cheapest car shampoo, Express Plus with wax in 500 ml, cost €2.19, the cheapest wax, K2 Spid Wax in 750 ml, €3.49, and polishers started with an Einhell 180 mm model at €79.90. The €39.90 headlight kit costs more than any single service in the ads, which range from €10 to €30, so doing it yourself only pays off if you restore headlights on several cars, and the €19.90 refill makes each further one cheaper.
Example: getting a car ready for sale
This is our own calculation at ad prices for one car in Podgorica:
- With providers: deep cleaning €45 and headlight restoration €15, a total of €60.
- Yourself, for the headlights: the Okov kit at €39.90, with the other products you already have.
If you are selling the car, a clean interior and clear headlights show in the listing photos. Fijaka shows a before-and-after car listing in its guide to a listing that sells and explains why year, mileage, fuel type and gearbox must be filled in.
Who does this on Glatko
On 25 September 2026 Glatko had no verified provider and no request in the car service category, so the ads and workshop above are for now the only source of prices. A registered workshop's invoice goes through the Tax Administration's electronic fiscalisation system.
What to ask before you leave the car
- What deep cleaning includes: seats, carpets, headliner, boot and how long the car takes to dry.
- Whether the price is the same for an SUV or a van, because ads ask more for bigger vehicles.
- Whether they come to your address or you have to bring the car.
- Whether polishing is single-stage or multi-stage and how long it takes.
- Whether the headlights are protected after polishing with restoration coating or protective film.
What we did not measure
Ad prices are prices that providers published themselves, and we did not check the quality or duration of the work. Ten of the 36 ads are older than 2025, so we left them out. For ceramic coating and paint polishing we found no published price from 2025 or 2026, and the workshop's list has only starting prices.
