Hand wash up the hill

Mobile Car Wash in Los Altos Hills

A gentle hand wash for cars that live with dust, oak leaves and winding roads, brought up your driveway.

Why choose a mobile car wash in Los Altos Hills

A mobile car wash in Los Altos Hills means you skip the drive down to the flats and back. The nearest tunnel washes are a fair distance away, and the drive home on dusty roads can undo some of the work before you even park.

We hand wash the car right where it lives. No spinning brushes, no conveyor, and nothing rushed.

Dust, oak trees and hill roads

The Purissima Hills and the streets off Altamont Road and Page Mill Road are full of native oaks. Oaks drop pollen, leaves and sticky sap, and birds roosting in them leave droppings on cars parked below. Dry months add a layer of fine dust from unpaved shoulders and dry grass.

After rain, hill roads leave a spray of muddy water on lower panels and wheels. Heavy mud holds grit, so we loosen it carefully before washing. Even with care, heavy mud can leave light marks, and we tell you before we start if that is likely.

  • Careful hand wash, with extra time on lower panels
  • Wheels and tires cleaned
  • Tire dressing
  • Outside glass cleaned

Long driveways and where we set up

Long private driveways are normal here, so tell us where the car will be, how to get through any gate, and where we can park our setup. The car should be on reasonably level ground with room to walk all the way around it.

We always need a standard outlet near the car. Some jobs also need a water tap, and our confirmation says so. Wash water is kept away from storm drains and creeks. In a garage we use waterless or rinseless methods only.

Questions

Can you wash a car covered in hill road dust?
Yes. Dust comes off during the hand wash. We loosen heavy buildup first so grit is not dragged across the paint.
Will you wash a car parked on a slope?
We need a reasonably level spot. Please move the car before we arrive, since we never move customer cars.
Do you remove oak sap?
Fresh sap specks often come off with careful washing. Hardened sap may need more, and we say so before starting.
Can you also wash a truck or trailer?
We wash cars, SUVs and trucks. Send details on anything unusual and we let you know if it fits.
How often should a car in the hills be washed?
Many cars here benefit from a wash every few weeks, especially in dry or pollen season. NOVA Monthly can hold a regular slot.
