Exterior Detailing
Ramp presence that speaks before the door opens.
What Is Included
Everything Covered
An aircraft's exterior is its first impression and its primary aerodynamic surface. Our exterior detailing uses EPA-certified waterless washing technology that protects paint integrity, conserves water, and delivers a factory-fresh shine without the water spotting risk of traditional rinse methods.
- EPA-certified waterless or traditional exterior wash
- Hand dry with aviation microfibre to eliminate water spotting
- Paint polish: removes light oxidation, water marks, and exhaust staining
- Window exterior polish (windshield + cabin glass)
- Leading edge clean: de-bug and de-tar treatment
- Nacelle and cowling clean
- Landing gear and wheel well detail
- Exhaust stain treatment
Our Process
How We Do It
Arrival & Inspection
We photograph the full airframe and log all existing scratches, chips, and staining before work begins.
Pre-treatment
Bug deposits, exhaust soot, oil streaks, and fuel staining are pre-treated with targeted chemistry before the main wash.
Panel Wash
Working panel by panel, top to bottom, we clean every surface with our EPA waterless process or traditional wash depending on contamination level.
Drying & Polish
Each panel is hand-dried immediately to prevent spotting, then polished to a uniform gloss finish.
Final Inspection
We inspect under direct light for any remaining contamination or streaks and correct before sign-off.
Why It Matters
The Case for Precision
Paint condition directly affects resale value and inspectors' impression of aircraft care. Clean paint also photographs beautifully — critical when listing for sale. Regular detailing prevents contamination from bonding to the clearcoat, which requires increasingly aggressive correction over time.

FAQ
Common Questions
Our primary wash process uses a certified waterless solution that encapsulates and removes contamination without rinsing. It is approved for use on airport ramps without drainage concerns.
Yes. Our waterless process works in temperatures as low as -10°C. Traditional wash requires temperatures above 5°C and no risk of water freezing on surfaces.
Monthly for active aircraft, quarterly minimum for stored aircraft. After salt water exposure (coastal flying), wash within 48 hours.
Yes. Gear bay cleaning is included in a full exterior detail. It removes hydraulic fluid residue, grime, and oxidation from the gear doors and actuators.
Yes. Oil and hydraulic fluid staining on the belly requires a degreasing pre-treatment. This adds time to the service — factor it into the booking.
