How we protect your aircraft
Manual first
We scope every job to your aircraft manufacturer's cleaning guidance and your preferences before we start.
Masking sensitive areas
Pitot tubes, static ports, vents and sensors are covered before any washing, and uncovered only after we finish.
Surface-safe products
Products chosen for paint, acrylic windows, de-ice boots and bare metal. No runoff with our dry wash.
Maintenance stays with your mechanic
We don't perform maintenance. Any post-wash lubrication or inspection is left to your A&P, and you get a written summary of the work done.
