This allows us to custom tailor our services to your needs and ensure the highest quality service with the safety of your aircraft, your staff, and our technicians as the foundation of our relationship with you.

 

 

Aircraft Wet Washing
With flaps retracted the entire aircraft is washed using an aviation-approved cleanser. Gear is safely cleaned using a low pressure water rinse and special brushes. The entire aircraft is then squeegeed and wiped dry, we take special care with the windows (we use only DuPont Sontara® Wipes and Prist® acrylic glass cleaner).

 

Basic Exterior Aircraft Cleaning
This is a perfect economical service to quickly get your aircraft flight ready. Utilizing Dend Dextair® we carefully hand wipe high visibility and dirt areas, nose, gear, door area, leading edges, exhaust track. All cabin windows and windscreens are also cared for.

 

Aircraft Waxing
Our first priority is safely covering all windows and windscreens by papering and taping these areas. This ensures protection to a very costly and sensitive area of your aircraft. We then systematically hand and machine wax all of your painted surfaces. We utilize orbital polishers which safely clean and polish the surface without heat build up or swirl marks. We then meticulously hand wipe the entire aircraft to ensure all wax is safely removed.

Aircraft Teflon® Paint Protection
We recommend a 12-18 month application of acrylic Teflon® paint sealant to new and freshly painted aircraft. This scientifically formulated product has been recognized in aviation as the number one way to preserve the life of your aircraft paint and is used and recommended by many OEM’s and maintenance facilities.
Specific benefits include:

• Improved laminar flow
• Extended paint life
• Reduce coefficient of air friction
• Increased efficiency
• Reduced wash cycles and ease of cleaning
• Easy exhaust and oil removal
• Improve appearance
• No need to wax again
• Increased shine and depth of paint

This process has proven itself to us and to our customers over the years. We have performed this service with great success for the following companies: Lockheed Martin, Dassault Falcon Jet, DuPont aviation, General Dynamics, the U.S. Coast Guard and Professional Jet Management.

Brightwork Polishing
Our 2-3 step brightwork polishing process depending on the condition of the brightwork produces excellent results for our clientele. Utilizing the line of Nuvite® brightwork polishing compounds our system is safe and the recommended process for many OEM’s including Gulfstream Aerospace. The end result is brightwork that shines like it were new without the swirls.

Paint Restoration Polishing
We recommend this paint polishing process for paint that is starting to show staining and oxidation. Utilizing a line of 3m paint-polishing compounds we safely remove oxidation, and imperfections, and then seal the paint with NuPower II by Nuvite Chemical. The 3-step process is the most effective process for paint restoration polishing. As part of this process all cabin windows and cockpit windows are protected by paper and tape to avoid polishing residue.

Basic Aircraft Interior Cleaning
This is a basic interior wipe down of mirrors, windows, tables, chairs, hardware and a complete vacuum of your cabin and cockpit areas. This is a fast and economic service to get your interior flight ready for your customer.

Leather Cleaning and Conditioning
Using a properly PH balanced leather soap we deep clean all of your leather surfaces. We then condition the leather with a protectant that replenished the natural softness of the leather surface. We also treat ink stains with a process developed specifically for leather.

Carpet Cleaning and Spot Removal
Utilizing the latest cleaning equipment we use the CFR Pro 400 cleaning station. With its “continuous flow recycling” the patent technology removes 98% of all applied solutions instantaneously and prevents over wetting, safeguards carpets and fabrics, accelerates dry time and reduces re-soiling. We treat all spots and stains with independent specialty solutions that remove everyday dirt, coffee, gum, tar, food dyes and even red wine.

Facilities and Hangar Cleaning

It is through this fact that we found ourselves assisting FBO’s and corporate operators in the cleaning of their aviation facilities and hangars. We have begun offering this service to all of our customers to allow them to concentrate on their flight department operations and leave the cleaning to us.
