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!!!!

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.
