Paint Correction for
Custer Drivers

Custer vehicles split their lives between two abrasives. The first is the freeway — most households here put daily miles on I-5 between Blaine and Bellingham, collecting the same truck-traffic grit and front-end chip exposure as any commuter, at full highway speed. The second is the last quarter mile home: long gravel drives and rural roads that sandblast rockers and lower doors, then coat everything in a fine dust that turns to grinding paste the moment it rains.

Because Custer has no services of its own, vehicles here also tend to go longer between washes — and time is the multiplier on every kind of paint damage. Bird droppings, sap from the firs over the driveway and road film all etch deeper the longer they sit. A coated car changes that equation completely, because a garden hose and ten minutes now does what a full wash used to.
