Auto detailing in Sausalito, CA.
Sausalito is the first stop off the Golden Gate, and the climate proves it the moment you park. Salt-laden marine air rolls in from Richardson Bay and the houseboat harbor, the fog sits late into the morning along Bridgeway, and that combination drives oxidation into clear coat faster than almost anywhere we work. We see a lot of Porsches, AMGs, and Range Rovers from the hillside above Caledonia and up Wolfback Ridge — cars that look great in the showroom and start hazing within a year if nobody intervenes. A real paint correction plus a P&S STOUT ceramic seals the surface against the salt and gives you a hydrophobic layer that the next bayfront drizzle slides off. Tourist traffic on Bridgeway also means door dings and rocker spray you don't want — STEK PPF on rockers and lower doors handles that. For Sausalito — ceramic coating and detailing are mobile or shop, same price; we run mobile to your driveway above the harbor or down in Old Town. PPF is shop-only (controlled environment required for film install) — 15 minutes back over the Golden Gate and through the city to our 3425 Ettie St shop.
