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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

THE REAL COST OF DOING NOTHING
What starts as one small chip turns into dozens — and a repair bill you'll keep putting off.
You hear it before you see it. That sharp crack on the highway — another piece of gravel just hit your hood.
One chip isn’t a big deal. But they multiply. Six months of normal driving and your front end looks like it’s been through a sandstorm. Each chip costs $200-400 to repair properly, and touch-up paint never quite matches. Worse, once moisture gets under the clear coat, that tiny chip spreads into something much uglier.
Most people don’t fix them. They just watch their car’s value quietly drop.
Where We Install
PPF demands precision. Dust particles, temperature swings, and lighting all affect how well the film bonds. Here's how we handle it:
Our San Jose Shop
Controlled environment with proper lighting, climate control, and zero dust. This is where we do 90% of our PPF work—and where we get the cleanest results.
Mobile Installation
Live in Atherton, Los Altos Hills, Portola Valley, or Saratoga with a clean enclosed garage? We can bring the install to you.
NOT A WAX. NOT A COATING.
Physical protection — a clear urethane barrier between your paint and the road.
PPF is a clear urethane shield that absorbs impact instead of your paint. Think of it as a screen protector for your car’s body.
How it works:
- Stops rock chips – The film takes the hit, not your paint
- Self-heals scratches – Heat from the sun makes light scratches disappear
- Stays invisible – Modern film is virtually undetectable once installed
- Peels off clean – When you sell, remove it to reveal perfect paint underneath

PPF San Jose & Bay Area
READY TO PROTECT YOUR PAINT?
Don’t wait until your hood looks like a golf ball. Get a quote today—most responses within a few hours.
We’ll get back to you soon to confirm your preferred time slot.
Will paint protection film turn yellow over time?
No. Yellowing was a problem with cheap film from 10+ years ago. Modern PPF is UV-stable and stays clear for the life of the warranty.
Can I wash my car after PPF installation?
Yes — but wait 7 days for the adhesive to fully cure. After that, hand wash or touchless wash only. Avoid high-pressure spray directly on film edges.
How long does PPF installation take?
Full Front: 4-6 hours. Front + Sides: 1 day. Full Vehicle: 2-3 days. Proper installation can’t be rushed.
Is PPF better than ceramic coating?
Different jobs. PPF blocks physical damage — rock chips, scratches, road debris. Ceramic coating protects against UV and chemicals, and makes washing easier. Many cars benefit from both.
Can paint protection film be removed?
Yes. Quality film peels off cleanly without damaging factory paint. Removing it before selling reveals pristine paint underneath.
When is the best time to get PPF installed?
Before the first rock chip. New cars are ideal — no contamination, no existing damage. The sooner it’s on, the more it protects.
Should I get paint correction before PPF?
Depends on your paint’s condition. PPF locks in whatever’s underneath — including swirl marks and scratches. If your paint has imperfections, paint correction first ensures the film covers a flawless surface. New cars usually skip this step.
Do you install PPF outside San Jose?
Yes. Our PPF shop is in Campbell, but we serve the entire South Bay and Peninsula — including Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Atherton, Los Altos, and Portola Valley. Mobile installation is available in select areas with suitable garage setups.
