Foam-covered private aircraft being washed beside a hangar

Exterior Detailing

The exterior of an aircraft takes a lot of abuse. We use aviation-safe, pH-neutral chemicals to lift dirt and debris from the airframe. From the tip of the tail to the nose, we foam and gently brush the entire aircraft, then rinse it with RO water.

Aircraft exteriors are not just paint; they are full of sensitive equipment and substrates.

Exterior paint, brightwork, landing gear, and windows all require safe chemicals and techniques. High-pH degreasers strip protection from paint, degrade and dull the finish, and cause corrosion on raw aluminum surfaces. We use only aviation products that have been tested and conform to Boeing, Airbus, and AIMS standards.

Quick turn

1 to 3 hours

A quick wipe-down of all forward-facing surfaces, windscreens, windows, wheel faces, and engine nacelles.

Full exterior wet wash

2 to 6 hours

A full wet wash of the entire aircraft using our foam-cannon system and zero-PPM RO water, followed by squeegee drying to remove all standing water.

Spot clean or departure wash

Add-on

We add the wings and empennage to a quick turn, as well as a full landing-gear detail. This is a practical way to wash most of the aircraft while it is AOG or between full washes.

Water knows best.

Painted aircraft surfaces

All painted surfaces are foamed and scrubbed with clean, gentle brushes to lift and remove soil and contaminants, then thoroughly rinsed with RO water.

Brightwork

Brightwork is pre-cleaned with gentle all-purpose cleaners to remove bugs before the wet wash.

Windows and windscreens

Cleaned by hand after the wash with safe microfiber towels. They are never scrubbed with brushes during the wet wash.

Landing gear & wheels

Completely cleaned with aviation-approved chemicals and rinsed with clean RO water at garden-hose pressure. This gently flushes contaminants from the landing gear and tight areas, reducing the chance for corrosion to take hold.

Also included

Full walkaround and aircraft evaluation
All standing water squeegeed off the aircraft
Only zero-PPM RO water, tested before each wash

Scheduling

Quick turns and departure washes can be completed the same day. Full washes are typically scheduled in advance but may be completed the same day when the team is available.
