EXCELLENT Based on 301 reviews Posted on Dan WhitsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would’ve saved a lot of money had I started with Nor Bay Mobile Detailing. I had classic car wash try and I tried with a home machine, but nothing could touch the fish smell that had gotten into my car carpet. Carlos went above and beyond to make sure the smell got out. I have to say this about Carlos, when he’s on your job, he’s on your job. He’ll stay to make sure it gets done right. So grateful for his help. If Carlos is running late, it’s because he’s giving his clients the best service he can because he believes in not cutting corners and giving you the best product possible. He’s worth the wait. Thanks again Carlos!Posted on Kılıçhan DAĞDAŞTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mario and his team are very professional and very committed to his business.

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

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.
