Hangar and ramp detailing for private aircraft, using aviation approved products and methods that respect the airframe.
Every aircraft is quoted individually after we see it. Scope is agreed in writing before work begins, and we work to your schedule and your hangar rules.
Pricing depends on aircraft size, current condition, whether work is in a hangar or on the ramp, and the scope you need. We survey first and quote in writing. Proof of insurance available on request.
An airframe is not a large car. The materials, the tolerances and the consequences of getting it wrong are all different.
Aircraft windscreens are acrylic, not glass. Standard glass cleaners craze them permanently. We use products rated for acrylic only.
Ports, drains and antennae are masked before any wash. Water or wax intrusion into a static port is a flight safety issue, not a cosmetic one.
Modern airframes mix aluminum, composite and paint with very different tolerances. Each area is treated for what it actually is.
Exhaust soot and oil film on the belly need a dedicated approach that lifts residue without stripping protective coatings.
De ice boots and leading edges get products compatible with them, never a general purpose degreaser.
A clean, waxed airframe is a marginally more efficient one, and a well kept aircraft holds its value the same way a well kept car does.
We look at the airframe, agree the scope in writing, and confirm your FBO or hangar access requirements.
Ports, drains, antennae and any sensitive area are masked before a single product comes out.
Exterior, belly, gear and windows, each with products rated for the material in front of us.
Sealant applied where appropriate, all masking removed and accounted for, then a walk around with you.
Aircraft detailing is the cleaning, polishing and protection of an airframe using products approved for aviation use. Work covers the exterior skin, leading edges, belly, landing gear, windows and cabin interior, using methods chosen to protect paint, composite panels, static ports and acrylic windows.
Aircraft detailing is quoted per airframe rather than from a price list. Cost depends on aircraft size, current condition, the scope you want and whether we are working in a hangar or on the ramp. We survey the aircraft and give you a written quote before anything is scheduled.
Both, depending on the aircraft and the facility. Many hangars do not permit water and runoff, in which case a dry wash with aviation rated products is the right approach. Where a wet wash is permitted and appropriate, we will use one. We follow your hangar or FBO rules.
Yes. We use products rated for aviation surfaces, including acrylic safe window products and cleaners compatible with de ice boots and composite panels. General automotive chemicals are not used on airframes, and the acrylic point in particular is not negotiable.
Yes, and we will provide proof of insurance before any work is scheduled. If your FBO or hangar operator has specific insurance or induction requirements, tell us at the quoting stage and we will meet them.
We work across the Upstate and into western North Carolina, which covers the general aviation fields in the Spartanburg, Greenville and Asheville area. Tell us where the aircraft is based and we will confirm whether it is inside our range.
Yes. Aircraft work is scheduled around your availability and hangar access, including early mornings and weekends where the facility allows it. Give us the window you have and we will scope the work to fit it.
Complete interior and exterior service. The full reset, inside and out, in one visit.
Deep vacuum, steam, shampoo and conditioning. Every seam, vent and crevice.
Hand wash, decontamination, wheels, tires, trim and a protective finish.
System X paint protection with a deep gloss and a hydrophobic, self cleaning finish.
Machine polishing that removes swirl marks, oxidation and light scratches.
Safe degrease and dress of the engine bay so it looks as cared for as the paint.
Cut back yellowed, hazy lenses and seal them for clearer light and a sharper front end.
Tell us the aircraft type and where it is based, and we will arrange a survey.
