Exterior Detail, the Gastonia way
Gastonia paint fights gravel-lot dust, mill-district grit and I-85 film all at once. The wheels-first wash order exists for exactly this: grit comes off before anything touches the paint, then decontamination strips the bonded layer and the sealant goes on clean.
West-side route days block together, so a day's notice usually lands a morning slot anywhere from Franklin Boulevard to the Belmont border.
How it goes
- Wheels, tires and wells first, so brake-dust grit never touches the paint mitts
- Foam pre-soak dwells while we work, lifting film off the clear coat
- Two-bucket hand wash, then chemical iron and tar decontamination
- Protect: six-month sealant, glass polished, trim and tires dressed
