Our Exterior Wash Process
Pre-Wash Inspection
Complete walk-around to identify areas requiring special attention, document existing conditions, and note any paint defects or damage.
Surface Preparation
Remove loose debris, protect sensitive areas (pitot tubes, static ports), and apply specialized pre-treatment to stubborn bug strikes and exhaust stains.
Wash Application
Wet wash with pH-balanced soap and soft brushes, or waterless wash with high-lubricity spray and premium microfiber towels—depending on conditions and preferences.
Detail Work
Clean wheel wells, landing gear, and hard-to-reach areas. Polish glass and windscreens with anti-static treatment to reduce dirt adhesion.
Final Inspection & Dry
Thorough drying with clean towels to prevent water spots, final touch-up of missed areas, and photo documentation of the completed work.
Why Regular Exterior Washing Matters
Paint Protection
Regular washing removes corrosive contaminants like bug acids, exhaust residue, and environmental pollutants that damage paint over time.
Resale Value
Well-maintained exterior appearance significantly impacts aircraft value and buyer perception during pre-purchase inspections.
Safety Inspections
Clean aircraft make it easier to spot cracks, leaks, and other maintenance issues during preflight and annual inspections.
