Polymer & Paint Protection
Paint is the most expensive cosmetic surface on the aircraft and the one that takes the most punishment. We decontaminate it, correct it, then seal it so UV, fuel residue, bug strikes, and hard water stop taking bites out of it.
Protection chosen for the aircraft, not from a brochure.
We choose Buffalo RP for all our paint-protection programs. It delivers longevity and high gloss, is easy to apply, and has proven superior in the field to every other polymer we have tried over 10 years of applications.
Ceramics have their place, but we do not believe they belong on aircraft in their current form. They are expensive, are not aviation-approved, and are very brittle because of their hardness. Aircraft surfaces move considerably: wing deflection can reach five feet, and fuselage expansion of more than six inches will cause microcracking in ceramics. Polymers are flexible and move with the aircraft skin, making them the superior choice for paint protection.
When you choose us for paint protection, we are meticulous about surface preparation. We decontaminate every time, polish when needed, and cover every inch of aircraft paint with Buffalo RP.
Decontamination paint prep
Before every initial and service treatmentBefore every initial Buffalo RP treatment and each annual service treatment, the entire aircraft is clayed to remove all surface contaminants. This step is crucial to polymer adhesion. Many companies skip it completely.
Paint correction
As requiredWhen needed, proper polishing removes oxidation from painted surfaces and clears up scratches. Our process leaves the paint clear and hologram-free.
Four stages, in this order, every time.
Full wet wash
Aviation-approved soap, top to bottom and tip to tail, with foam gently cleaning every aircraft surface.
Decontamination
Bonded fallout, hard water, bug strikes, fuel residue, and overspray are removed until the surface is slick and clean.
Correction
Machine polishing, when needed, removes oxidation. Gloss is restored before protection goes on.
Seal & document
Buffalo RP is applied panel by panel, followed by a photographed condition report.
Also included
- Aircraft damage and overall condition documented
- De-ice boots protected and taped
- Landing gear, brightwork, and windows detailed
Ground time
One to three days, depending on aircraft size and the correction required. Overnight schedules are available.
