Auto detailing in SoMa.
SoMa (South of Market) is SF's loft + condo + tech-corporate corridor — Salesforce Park, the Embarcadero, AT&T Park (now Oracle Park), and the dense condo towers along Mission and Howard. The microclimate is sunnier than the western neighborhoods; the wind off the bay is more noticeable than the fog. Daily commute pattern is mostly walk + Muni + occasionally Bay Bridge to East Bay. Cars that are here skew newer EV (Tesla, Polestar, Rivian, Lucid) and high-end Euro (Porsche, AMG, BMW M) from the condo population. Parking is almost universally in building structures; on-street is rare and tightly metered. For SoMa residents — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crew works in building garages with proper notice. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — drop at our 3425 Ettie St Oakland shop, ~10-15 minutes across the Bay Bridge (SoMa is the closest SF neighborhood to the bridge).

SoMa FAQ
Building-garage mobile ceramic — what coordination?
We need access notice with the building, a freight-elevator booking if it's a high-rise, and a parking-stall reservation for the duration of the work. Standard for SoMa towers.
SoMa to Oakland shop drop-off — fastest route?
Bay Bridge to 880 → 35th Ave exit. 10-15 min off-peak. SoMa is the closest SF neighborhood to our shop.
