Aircraft Dry Wash
An aircraft dry wash is a method of cleaning an aircraft without using water. Traditional water-based washing can be cumbersome and environmentally impactful due to the runoff of chemicals. A dry wash uses specialized cleaning products that don't require rinsing with water. Our products are applied onto the surface of the aircraft and then wiped off, along with any dirt or grime, leaving a clean and polished finish.
Dry washing can help to reduce corrosion and water-related damage to your aircraft's exterior surfaces.
An aircraft wet wash is a more traditional method of cleaning that involves using water, along with our cleaning agents, to wash away dirt, grime, and other contaminants from your aircraft's exterior surfaces. After applying specialized cleaning solutions to remove stubborn dirt and stains, your aircraft is then rinsed thoroughly with water to remove any remaining cleaning agents and dirt particles.
Wet washing is effective for removing a wide range of contaminants, including grease, oil, bird droppings, and atmospheric pollutants. Wet washing can be a conducted as part of routine aircraft maintenance to keep the exterior surfaces clean and to maintain the aircraft's appearance and performance.
Brightwork
metal polishing
Aircraft brightwork refers to the polished metal parts on an aircraft, such as leading edges, engine cowlings, wing surfaces, and other exterior components. The polishing process involves several steps, including cleaning, surface preparation, polishing, and finishing. We use special abrasive compounds to cut into the metal removing scratches and water marks that can degrade the metal and become pits.
Your aircraft’s brightwork is not only important for aesthetic reasons but also for maintaining the integrity and longevity of the metal.
Deice boot stripping and resealing is a maintenance procedure performed on aircraft equipped with pneumatic deicing boots, which are flexible rubber-like panels installed on the leading edges of wings, tail surfaces, and sometimes propeller blades. Over time, deice boots can degrade due to sunlight, temperature changes, and mechanical wear. Our process includes stripping, cleaning, inspection, resealing, and a final curing stage.
Properly maintained deice boots are crucial for safe operation in icing conditions, helping to prevent ice buildup on critical flight surfaces.
Gear Wells
cleaning
Aircraft gear well cleaning is typically performed as part of routine maintenance to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the landing gear system. Keeping the gear well clean helps prevent corrosion, reduces the risk of malfunctions, and contributes to overall aircraft safety.
We take proper care to ensure all mechanical parts are are left clean and undisturbed.
We are proud to offer specialty waxes, sealants and coatings to our customers. Their importance for your aircraft lies in their ability to provide several key benefits:
​
-
Paint Protection - against oxidation, fading, and corrosion.
-
Hydrophobic Properties - repel water and other liquids, causing them to bead and roll off the surface.
-
Chemical and Scratch Resistance - protect against harsh chemicals and contaminants encountered everyday such as bug splatter and aviation fuels, along with an added layer of resistance against light scratches and swirl marks, maintaining a glossy, scratch-free finish.
-
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal - give gloss and depth to your aircrafts paint, giving it a showroom-quality shine. The smooth, reflective surface also improves the overall aesthetic appeal.
-
Ease of Maintenance - With its self-cleaning properties and resistance to dirt and grime, a ceramic-coated aircraft is easier to maintain. Routine cleaning becomes more efficient, requiring less time and effort to keep the aircraft looking its best
