Auto detailing in Hercules, CA.

Hercules sits on the I-80 corridor — most of you are doing the bay-shore commute south into Berkeley, Emeryville, or San Francisco. 45 minutes on a good morning, an hour-plus when 80 backs up at the Carquinez Bridge. That's a lot of freeway miles, and freeway miles are where front-clip damage adds up: rock chips on the bumper, sandblasting on the hood, road-tar speckle on rocker panels. STEK paint protection film on the front end is the answer — it absorbs the impact and stays clear for years. The climate here is the bay-shore version of the East Bay: cool marine mornings, real fog through the Refugio Valley, and salt drift coming off San Pablo Bay. That salt-fog cycle etches paint the same way it does in El Cerrito and Pinole — water-spot rings that need a real correction to remove, not a polish. We pull a mix of family SUVs, Teslas, and work trucks out of the Hercules hills and the Bayfront neighborhoods. For Hercules — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; we work in your driveway. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film) — a 25-minute run straight down I-80 to our 3425 Ettie St shop.
