Auto detailing in Santa Rosa, CA.
Santa Rosa is the largest city in Sonoma, and the 101 corridor moves serious traffic — Petaluma south, Healdsburg north, and a constant flow of trucks, dust, and bug strike onto every front clip on the road. The inland climate makes it worse. Summers run dry and hot into the upper 90s through Bennett Valley and Rincon Valley, and the UV here cooks unprotected paint at a pace coastal cars never see. We still see the post-Tubbs and post-Glass Fire vehicles — ash-pitted clear coat that needs proper decon and correction, not a polish-and-pray. We work on everything from daily Tacomas out of Fountaingrove to Porsche weekend cars heading up the Silverado Trail. A P&S STOUT ceramic gives that paint real UV defense and locks the surface so road tar from 101 wipes off clean. For Santa Rosa — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; mobile crews dispatch on consolidated days. The Sonoma County Museum and historic Railroad Square downtown bring out the classics — those want STEK PPF on the front clip. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — about an hour south down 101 to our 3425 Ettie St Oakland shop.
