BRIGHTWORK POLISHING AT YRI — COMMON QUESTIONS
It depends on your operating environment. Coastal aircraft oxidise in 3–4 months. Inland aircraft can hold polish for 6–12 months with a protective sealant applied.
No. Our process is specific to bare metal. We mask painted surfaces adjacent to brightwork before polishing begins.
The visible interior face of exhaust stacks is polished. We do not reach into the exhaust system itself.
