Auto detailing in Mill Valley, CA.
Mill Valley keeps some of the most interesting garages in the Bay — air-cooled 911s next to a new Taycan, a restored 2002 next to an M3 Competition, a Tesla daily next to a weekend Defender. The mix tells you everything about what we do here. The climate is brutal on paint in a quiet way: eucalyptus and redwood drop tannin-heavy sap year-round, fog wicks off Mt Tam every morning, and the canopy above Cascade and Throckmorton means tree gum, bird traffic, and shaded moisture all sitting on the clear coat at once. A car that lives outside in Homestead Valley or up Edgewood Avenue is fighting contamination every day. We handle that with full decon and a P&S STOUT ceramic that shrugs off the sap and gives you a real water-shedding surface. For the classics and the Porsches, STEK PPF on the front clip, rockers, and rear arches is the right call. For Mill Valley — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; we run mobile across Homestead Valley, Old Mill, and Sycamore. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — 25 minutes back across the Golden Gate to our 3425 Ettie St shop.
