Auto detailing in Inner Sunset.
Inner Sunset sits between Golden Gate Park and the outer Sunset — closer to the city than the avenues but still in the fog band more days than not. The N-Judah runs through the neighborhood, so a meaningful percentage of residents are car-light or car-free. The fleet that is here trends to Subarus, Toyotas, Hondas, and a growing Tesla Model 3 mix in the newer condo buildings. Street parking is the norm; garages exist but aren't universal. Fog + salt drift is constant — the Sunset side of SF takes more marine layer than the Mission side, and uncoated paint shows it within a couple of years. UCSF commuters parking on the streets around Parnassus deal with constant on-street wear. For Inner Sunset — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crew works in garages or curbside where access is fine. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — drop at our 3425 Ettie St Oakland shop, ~25 minutes across the Bay Bridge.

Inner Sunset FAQ
Does Sunset fog really shorten ceramic life?
Modestly. The hydrophobic layer handles the moisture; the more important factor is keeping salt residue rinsed off so it doesn't bond.
Mobile dispatch in the Sunset on weekends?
Yes — weekend windows are often easier for street-parked cars (less commuter overlap).
