Mobile Car Detailing in Pebble Beach, CA

Pebble Beach is one of the most distinctive residential communities in California: 17-Mile Drive, Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Lodge and Spanish Bay. Many of the cars here are high-value, and the setting is hard on paint in two different ways.

Along the shoreline, from Spanish Bay past Cypress Point to the Lodge, cars get salt spray and fog. Inland, in the Del Monte Forest, Monterey pine and cypress line almost every street and drop resin, sap, pollen and needles on anything parked underneath. Sap that sits on warm paint can etch the clear coat, so it's worth taking off sooner rather than later.

Bird droppings and tree fallout

The forest and the coastline are full of birds, and droppings are a constant problem on Pebble Beach cars. Droppings are acidic, and on warm paint they can leave an etched ring if they sit for even a day or two. A ceramic coating doesn't make paint bulletproof, but it keeps droppings and sap from bonding as hard, so they rinse off more easily.

Getting through the gate

Pebble Beach is a gated community, so tell us which gate is closest to you when you book, whether that's the Pacific Grove, Country Club, S.F.B. Morse, Carmel or Highway 1 gate. If your household uses a guest list, add Foam Bros for the appointment day so we aren't held up at the kiosk. We'll confirm the plan with you before we head out.

High-value, collector and garage-kept cars

For European sports cars, luxury SUVs and classics, we offer paint correction and ceramic coating suited to high-value finishes. On 1-Step and 2-Step corrections, we measure paint thickness before we polish, so we know how much clear coat there is to work with. If a scratch is too deep to remove safely, we'll tell you before we start. We're fully insured on every job.

Monterey Car Week and show preparation

Monterey Car Week in August brings the Concours d'Elegance and some of the most valuable cars in the world to Pebble Beach. If you're preparing a car for a show, a tour or a sale, tell us your date when you book. August fills up early, and paint correction and ceramic coating take longer than a standard detail, so book as far ahead as you can.

Second homes and cars that sit

Many Pebble Beach homes are second homes, and the cars in them can sit for weeks. A car that isn't driven still collects fog film, needles and droppings, and a car in a closed garage can pick up a stale or musty smell. We can detail the car while you're away if it's accessible and we have a way to reach you. Tell us where the keys will be and when you want the car ready, and we'll confirm with you first. A monthly maintenance membership keeps a stored car ready to drive when you arrive.

Working in your driveway or garage

We work in your driveway, motor court or garage, as long as there's room to walk around the car. We bring our own water and power, so you don't need to set anything up for us. Pebble Beach is about 40 minutes from our Salinas location, and there's no travel fee. We usually have same-week availability. Call or book online.
