EXCELLENT Based on 272 reviews Posted on Adrienne KatzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience all around! Excellent communication and booking, tech showed up as expected, made recommendations for a clay bar so that additional sap could be removed which was helpful and worked. Sent pictures while they were working on my car as well. Thanks again and I will use them again!Posted on Sabrina RumfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole experience was a 10/10. Scheduling was a breeze and communication was excellent. The team arrived early, after confirming that it fit my schedule. Very professional. I’ll be honest. I really haven’t been taking care of the interior of car. This car has hauled around kids, soccer gear, track gear, on the go meals for 8 years. Sunscreen stains on the leather.. you get the idea. After about 3 hours, the interior looks fantastic! I added the leather conditioning treatment as well. I’ll be scheduling to have the exterior detailed as soon as possible. Thanks Mario and the team!!Posted on Jennifer DiazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Nor Bay. They fixed a scratch on my car- %98 of it is completely gone. Mario is friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you, look forward to more services in the future.Posted on Karthik NadimintiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the interior detailing work done. Appreciate the efforts to finish the job even though it’s been raining all day outside. Got the tough stains inside my Tesla Model Y cleaned. The driver’s side felt like brand new again! Thank you guys. :)Posted on LUCY SANTIATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very, very pleased with the work done by NorBay Mobile Detailing. They did excellent work on the water damage, then amazing work on the upholstery and side panels. They made my 2005 Honda Civic like new again.Posted on Ashin GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mario did an amazing job cleaning our car.

My truck was thoroughly cleaned and smelled fresh when they were done.Posted on P SHAHTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The car had got really bad rusted pipe water leak stains that repeated car washes and cleaning could not remove. Mario did an amazing job taking off all of it and the car looks like new. Very professional, on time and very thorough. Thanks Mario.Posted on RhysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy with the service the team provided as a first time customer. I was looking for a reliable car detailing service and found them through recommendations on Reddit. They explained the process, what was done after the service, and was very reasonable with their prices. Definitely recommending to friends and family!Posted on Cullen McAlpineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved the convenience of this service! They came right to my driveway and completed a very thorough cleaning. I will definitely use them again.
Oxidation Removal Restores
Depth, Shine, and Protection
Does your paint look dull, faded, or chalky — like the clear coat is disappearing? That’s oxidation. And left untreated, it just gets worse. Our mobile oxidation removal service targets UV damage and restores your vehicle’s color depth, gloss, and smoothness without the cost of a repaint.
Using professional compounds, polishing tools, and years of detailing experience, we safely remove the oxidized layer from your paint, revealing a smooth, vibrant surface underneath. We finish with high-quality paint protection to keep it from returning.
Visible results in 2–4 hours. No gimmicks, no over-polishing — just real paint restoration done right.
THE DAMAGE GOES DEEPER THAN YOU THINK
Why Oxidation Destroys Your Paint Over Time
☀️ Sunlight + Oxygen = Oxidation
Your vehicle’s clear coat breaks down under UV exposure. Over time, oxygen reacts with the surface, making paint dull, rough, and powdery to the touch.
🎨 Faded, Patchy, and Chalky Appearance
Oxidized paint loses its depth, clarity, and protection. The result is a washed-out, uneven color tone that can’t be fixed with a simple wash or wax.
🚫 Waxes and Detail Sprays Won’t Help
Once the clear coat is compromised, no spray or wax will bring back the shine. You need to remove the oxidized layer, not cover it up.
🛡️ If Ignored, It Only Gets Worse
Oxidation spreads and deepens with time. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent clear coat failure that requires costly repainting or refinishing.

Oxidation Removal Pricing in San Jose
Transparent pricing tailored to your vehicle — no guesswork, no generic quotes.
Because every vehicle is different, final pricing depends on a few key factors: paint condition, panel size, color type, and how deep the oxidation goes. We assess all of that up front so there are no surprises.

Paint Oxidation
Can I just wax over oxidation?
No. Waxes and sealants won’t bond properly to oxidized paint and will wear off quickly. You need to remove oxidation first for real results.
Will oxidation come back?
Eventually, yes — all paint ages. But after our service and with proper protection applied, your paint will resist UV damage much longer.
We recommend a regular exterior detail to keep your paint healthy, protected, and looking its best.
Is this the same as paint correction?
Not quite. Paint correction removes swirls and defects. Oxidation removal focuses on restoring faded, sun-damaged paint. We can do both if needed.
Oxidation | Paint | |
Focus | Faded, chalky paint from UV damage | Swirl marks, scratches, holograms, defects in clear coat |
Tools Used | Cutting compound or polish | Machine polishers, multi-stage compounding & polishing |
Depth | Surface-level restoration | Correction of micro-imperfections in the clear coat |
End Result | Restores shine & color | Flawless, mirror-like finish |
Time & Cost | Usually quicker and cheaper | More time-intensive and costly |
How long does it last?
With proper maintenance and UV protection (like ceramic or sealants), most vehicles stay oxidation-free for 6–12+ months depending on sun exposure.
Can you fix white, cloudy spots on my hood/roof?
If the clear coat is still intact, yes. If it’s peeling or gone, we’ll be honest — polishing won’t help and repainting may be your only option
