EXCELLENT Based on 309 reviews Posted on Google Nathalie AlvarezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have had my car detailed twice now by Nor Bay Mobile Detailing. They are thorough and efficient. I asked for an interior detailing and my car looks brand new. My carpet is spotless and the stains on my seats are gone. I will continue to call on Nor Bay Mobile detailing because they have done a spectacular job detailing my vehicle.Posted on Google Ernie GarnicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mario and his team did an incredible job detailing my 1965 Buick Riviera. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the end result exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail they brought to this vehicle is truly impressive, and I'm extremely grateful for their hard work. Had the paint correction and the 3 years ceramic coating insulation.Posted on Google Darrell CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In Aug I had Nor Bay come out to give my rv a wash. I saw they had great reviews which now I understand why. Thank you Nor Bay for your prompt response and service. I will definitely be using your services again!Posted on Google Mary Pope-HandyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mario came to my home and took care of a nagging issue - a sticky substance along the base of the inside of my windshield. He was fast, pleasant, skilled, and charged rate that was so low that I added a little to it. I will call him again for other auto detailing work and share his name and contact info with my family and friends. I wish I could share a photo that would do the before and after justice. Because the residue was so low (close to the dashboard), it was almost impossible to get it in a photo to text him ahead of time to display what was wrong, and now that it's gone it just looks like a normal windshield. If I could give him more stars than 5, I would. Great guy, great work, great price.Posted on Google tony hoangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didn't want to seat and wait for hours at an auto detailing shop so I Google for a mobile auto detailing services. Nor Bay mobile detailing came up and I spoke to Mario and that was it. I could seat at home and took a nap while Mario crew took care of my Tesla Model X nicely from inside to outside. Mario extended his service for free to apply conditioner on exterior plastic trim and removed some scratches from it. He also very friendly and he is willing to explain in details of his detailing processes and why his applicators made different (high-end applicator). As for pricing, it's very very reasonable with service bundle compared to the auto detailing shop and you can be at home relaxing, while they work on your car. This is counted to me and I would highly recommend Nor Bay Mobile detailing.Posted on Google Osamah AldhabyaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice guy and the clean nicePosted on Google Elle MarieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work these guys did. My car was full of car seat crumbs and playground sand. The level of thoroughness and attention to detail is 10/10. My car hasn’t been this clean since I bought it.Posted on Google Brian QuachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his team have genuinely transformed my car! I absolutely love the work done, worth every penny. Sam really puts in the elbow grease to ensure the car is shining like new. My 1991 300ZX has never looked better. I’m locking this in as my routine detailer. Thanks so much!Posted on Google Justin CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He did a great job fixing my headlights. Most importantly he called me back, and scheduled an appointment quickly. Also a decent price. Will use againPosted on Google Ana EspitiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car was really bad dirty, my car is so clean inside and out spotless. I would recommend getting your car done by them!!!!
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.

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
