A good fit when
- You want exterior protection with the washing and preparation included.
- You want to add ceramic protection to a Complete Detail at the same appointment.
- You are comfortable with light adhesion preparation rather than a dedicated correction result.
When another approach may help
- Your priority is noticeable swirl or scratch correction; discuss Paint Enhancement or Paint Correction with AB.
- You want a professional System X coating package and its manufacturer coverage.
- Your paint needs repair before polishing or protection is suitable.
AB will help you compare Express Ceramic with the professional coating packages so you can choose the preparation and protection that suit your priorities.
Preparation matters
A clean baseline for protection.
ADS Phobic needs a properly prepared surface. The standalone service includes washing, chemical and mechanical decontamination, adhesion-focused polishing and panel prep before application.
With Complete Detail, the wash and decontamination are already covered. The upgrade adds the remaining preparation and Phobic, replacing normal protection without charging for the wash twice.
What this is not
The included polishing establishes an adhesion baseline. It is lighter than dedicated Paint Enhancement and does not promise a correction result or the coverage of a professional System X package.
Looking for interior care too?

Frequently Asked Questions
Standalone Express Ceramic costs $549 for a car, $630 for midsize and $710 for full-size. It includes the exterior wash, chemical and mechanical decontamination, adhesion-focused polishing, panel prep and ADS Phobic application.
Yes. The same-appointment upgrade is $349 for a car, $400 for midsize or $450 for full-size. It reuses the wash and decontamination already included in Complete Detail and replaces its normal exterior protection with ADS Phobic.
It includes only the minimum polishing needed for a good adhesion baseline, without a correction target. Dedicated Paint Enhancement is more involved gloss improvement; 1-Step Correction uses a diminishing-abrasive compound for light-to-moderate correction.
Yes, Express Ceramic is available mobile and at the studio. For mobile we confirm the service address, household water access, working space and suitable conditions before booking. We bring our own power and spot-free rinse water.
No. Express Ceramic uses ADS Phobic with its own preparation scope. Our professional System X packages have different preparation, application and coverage terms, and normally require the studio. AB can explain the differences before you choose.
