BMW detailing on the Peninsula

From a 3 Series commuter to an X5 family hauler, we give your BMW the same patient hand detail we give every car.

Mobile BMW detailing at home or work

BMW detailing with NOVA means a hand detail in your driveway in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, San Mateo or anywhere else we serve on the Peninsula. We have no tie to BMW. We detail these cars with the same care we give a family minivan, and we adjust only for the materials in front of us.

If it is easier, we can come to your office lot when your building allows it. You do not need to be with the car while we work; leave it unlocked or the keys where we agreed.

We also wash the outside by hand with soft mitts, clean the kidney grille openings where dust settles, and finish the glass inside and out.

Brake dust that comes back fast

Many BMW models shed noticeable brake dust, especially on lighter wheels. Left alone, it turns gray and sticks. We clean each wheel face and the gaps between spokes by hand, reach into the barrel where the design allows, and clean and dress the tires.

Owners who hate the gray film often move to NOVA Monthly so the wheels never get that bad between visits.

Piano-black trim and light leather

Glossy black trim around the shifter, the window switches and the pillars shows fine swirls and fingerprints. We wipe it with a clean, soft microfiber and gentle pressure so we do not add marks. Light marks already in the trim usually stay, since that is wear rather than dirt. Spot buffing applies to paint, not to interior trim.

Light-colored leather and leatherette pick up denim dye and smudges, especially on the driver's side bolster. We clean them carefully and tell you what lifted and what did not. We do not offer leather conditioning.

  • Center console and gloss trim
  • Light seats and bolsters
  • Door pulls and window switches
  • Screens wiped with a dry or lightly damp microfiber

Which package to choose

The Complete Detail is the most booked choice for BMW owners: full interior and exterior plus the engine bay and spot buffing on light marks where the paint allows. A daily commuter on 101 or 280 may only need the Full Detail. We do not offer coatings, sealants, paint correction or film.

The package we suggest

Complete Detail. Prices depend on the car and its condition, so we text you an exact price before anything is booked. Not sure? Text a photo and we will suggest one.

Questions

Is NOVA connected to a BMW dealer?
No. We are an independent mobile detailer and work on many makes.
Can you remove the blue denim marks from my light seats?
Often they lighten a lot or lift. Older dye transfer may stay faintly visible. We will tell you before we start.
Will you scratch the piano-black trim?
We use clean, soft microfiber and light pressure on gloss trim. Fine marks already there usually remain.
Can you detail my BMW at my office?
Yes, when your building gives permission. We need a standard outlet near the car.
Do you offer ceramic coating for BMWs?
No. We do not offer coatings, sealants, waxing, paint correction or film on any car.
