Mobile car detailing in San Francisco: what to know
Most homes are Victorian and Edwardian flats, row houses with ground-floor garages in the Sunset and Richmond, and apartment buildings with tight stairwells. Street parking is scarce and many blocks are steep.
With street parking and steep blocks, a garage or a flat driveway makes mobile detailing much easier. Fog and salt air near the ocean leave a film that is worth an exterior clean.
