What Alpine Road Does to Your Paint
Portola Valley sits at the base of Skyline Boulevard where redwood pollen, oak debris, and road dust settle on paint year-round. Add in the coastal moisture that drifts through Windy Hill and you get clear coat that oxidizes faster than cars parked in drier areas.
We’ve detailed cars throughout the valley since 2014—from Los Trancos Woods estates to Alpine Hills properties. Our vans are fully self-contained, so we set up wherever your vehicle is parked. Most Portola Valley customers schedule us quarterly for maintenance and add ceramic coating or PPF when they want long-term protection.
Same-day service is available if you contact us before noon. We work around your schedule instead of asking you to drive somewhere.

PAINT CORRECTION PORTOLA VALLEY - FROM $245
Removing Years of Swirls
Swirl marks are circular scratches visible in direct sunlight. Paint correction removes them by machine polishing the clear coat.
We measure paint thickness first, then use the right pads and compounds for safe correction. Light swirls need single-stage work. Deeper scratches require multi-stage polishing.

Can you detail cars at private estates?
Yes. Mobile detailing works at any residence with parking access. The service van is self-contained with its own power and water—no hookups needed.
