Car Exterior Detailing
Bird droppings from the basin and leaf and berry litter from Balboa Boulevard's trees should come off before they sit in the sun. A full hand wash and decontamination clears them without scrubbing grit into the paint.
Lake Balboa, CA Mobile Car Detailing
About 45 minutes from our Monrovia shop via the 134 and 101, with no travel fee.
Lake Balboa takes its name from the 27-acre lake in the Sepulveda Basin, ringed by about 2,000 cherry trees, and the City Council split it off from western Van Nuys in 2007. A little over four in ten homes are detached houses, and apartment buildings make up most of the rest. The streets run from Victory Boulevard up to Roscoe between White Oak Avenue and the airport, with Birmingham High's 53-acre campus on Haynes Street. We detail across 91406 — the Balboa Boulevard corridor, the Louise Avenue blocks, the streets around Birmingham High and the homes near Lake Balboa Park — in driveways, garages and at the curb.

What Lake Balboa does to a car
The Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve on Woodley Avenue has logged more than 300 bird species, and ducks, coots and herons work the lake, so cars parked near the basin collect droppings. California pepper trees and sweetgums line the 7000 blocks of Balboa Boulevard, and live oaks and more sweetgums shade Louise Avenue. LADWP Valley water averages about 8.6 grains per gallon. Van Nuys Airport, on the neighborhood's east side, handles more than 230,000 takeoffs and landings a year, and the 405 runs along the east edge.
Most Lake Balboa houses have a driveway, but a driveway wash can easily send water down to the gutter. LA doesn't allow that runoff, or washing with a hose that lacks a self-closing shut-off nozzle. Renters in the neighborhood's apartment buildings usually have no hose to use at all. We bring our own water and power and never touch your spigot or outlet.
Either way the fix is the same. We bring the wash to the car.

Car Exterior Detailing in Lake Balboa
Waterspot And Bugs Removal
Sprinkler overspray on driveway-parked cars dries into mineral spots, since Valley water runs about 8.6 grains per gallon. We take fresh spots off with a dedicated remover before they etch into the clear coat.
Sap Removal
The California pepper trees on Balboa Boulevard drip sap from their bark and shed clusters of berries. We dissolve the spots with a solvent and clay the panel instead of scraping.

Questions we get from Lake Balboa
Yes. We cover 91406 from Victory Boulevard up to Roscoe, between White Oak Avenue and the airport, including the blocks around Lake Balboa Park and Birmingham High. Your mail may still say Van Nuys, because USPS lists Van Nuys as the main city name for 91406. It's about 33 miles from our shop, with no travel fee.
Monday through Sunday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. We come over on the 134 and 101, about 45 minutes off-peak.
No. We carry our own water and power, so we never tap into the house. We need about one car length of clear space around the car, in the driveway, the garage or at the curb. If the car is behind a side gate or in a locked garage, leave us a code or have someone meet us.
Fresh spots come off during the wash with a mineral-spot remover. Spots that have baked on for weeks can etch the clear coat and may need a machine polish on top. Parking out of the sprinkler's reach between visits helps a lot.
