Service 03 of 06
Inspection firstProfessional ceramic coating is done at our North Phoenix studio: paint preparation, coating application and a controlled cure. AB assesses your paint before quoting. Choose a 2-to-3-year coating or a 5-year coating; for a lighter, 1-year option that can be done at your home, see Express Ceramic.
The assessment is free.

We inspect the paint before quoting a ceramic coating, because the prep decides the result. We confirm the correction tier first, then quote the coating.
Why prep comes before protection
Every swirl, scratch, and water-spot etch present at application gets locked in along with the gloss. That’s why every coating includes at least a single-stage enhancement polish, and heavier paint gets a full correction pass first. We confirm that at the inspection, not from a photo.
The assessment is free and tells us which correction tier your paint needs before we quote the coating.

A coating doesn’t replace paint correction, and it won’t fix paint that has failed clear coat or body-shop repair work underneath it. It protects the finish that’s already there. It can’t create one.

The 2-to-3-year coating suits a factory-paint daily driver. The 5-year coating suits a vehicle you plan to keep longer, and it includes 1-step correction. For a lighter 1-year option that can be applied at your home, see Express Ceramic.
Yes. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including swirls, scratches and water-spot etching visible at the time of application. Every coating includes at minimum a single-stage enhancement polish. Heavier defects need a two-stage Correction or a three-stage Show Correction first, which we confirm at the in-person inspection.
Hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and clean tools, or use a touchless wash. Avoid brush car washes and harsh chemicals, and dry the car rather than letting hard water spot it. Regular maintenance washing is the owner's part; it is not included with the coating.
Our 2-to-3-year and 5-year coatings are studio only, because they need a controlled cure. Express Ceramic, our 1-year coating, can be applied at your home or at the studio, on its own or with a Complete Detail.
Professional ceramic coating at 11 Mile Detail Co. starts at $799 for a car with the 2-to-3-year coating. The price goes up with vehicle size, coating length, and the paint prep required. When you compare quotes, look past the coating product: inspection, correction prep, controlled cure time, and maintenance expectations all affect the scope of the job.
Our studio coatings are rated for 2 to 3 years or 5 years, and Express Ceramic for 1 year. We do not offer coatings that promise longer than 5 years. Phoenix heat, UV exposure, parking conditions, and wash method decide how much of that window you actually get.
