Mobile Car Wash in Redwood City

A careful hand wash on your Redwood City driveway, from the hills of Emerald Hills down to Woodside Plaza.

Why pick a mobile car wash in Redwood City

A mobile car wash in Redwood City saves you the trip to a tunnel on El Camino or Woodside Road. It is also kinder to the paint. Tunnel brushes are shared by every car that rolls through, and grit trapped in them can leave fine swirls.

We wash each panel by hand with clean tools, and we spend extra time where dirt collects: wheel faces, lower doors and the back bumper.

Emerald Hills, Farm Hill and Woodside Plaza

Emerald Hills and Farm Hill sit up near the foothills, with oaks and pines over many driveways. Cars parked outside get pine needles in the cowl, pollen in spring, sap specks and bird droppings. Steep, winding streets also throw up dust in summer and muddy spray in winter.

Lower down in Woodside Plaza, cars often face daily runs on Woodside Road, 280 and 101. That means brake dust, road film and the occasional tar spot along the sides.

  • Gentle hand wash, roof to rocker panels
  • Wheels and tires cleaned
  • Tire dressing
  • Outside glass cleaned
  • Pine needles and leaves cleared from the cowl

Steep driveways, water and drains

We need the car on reasonably level ground with room to walk around it. Many Emerald Hills and Farm Hill driveways are steep, so please park on a flatter spot before we arrive. We never move customer cars.

A standard outlet near the car is needed on every job. A water tap is required only for some jobs, and we let you know in our confirmation. Runoff is kept out of storm drains. If the car is garaged, we stick to waterless or rinseless methods.

Questions

Can you wash my car on a steep driveway?
We need a level enough spot to work safely. Please move the car before we arrive, since we never drive it.
Do you clear pine needles from under the hood vents?
We clear needles and leaves from the cowl area at the base of the windshield as part of the wash.
Will fresh bird droppings come off?
Yes, during the hand wash. Droppings that sat for a long time can leave a mark in the clear coat that washing cannot remove.
Can you wash a car parked on the street?
Often yes, if it is parked legally and we can walk around it and reach an outlet.
Do you offer paint protection after washing?
No. NOVA does not offer coatings, sealants, wax or film. The Exterior Detail is a hand wash with wheels, tires, dressing and glass.
