Expert Tips
Brightwork
Leading edges of aircraft withstand the full onslaught of the elements. It is very important, therefore, to give brightwork specialized treatment. Polishing brightwork not only reduces corrosion, it also enhances the appearance of the aircraft. Frequency of this service depends on frequency and conditions of flight, but the mirror-reflective finish of your brightwork will make your aircraft look new. We utilize a multi-step process to polish the brightwork, depending on the oxidation level. We then recommend sealing the brightwork with Xzilon to help protect it longer from corrosion and the elements.
Paint
After a few years, aircraft paint often starts to become oxidized and dull. Machine buffing returns high gloss to the paint. Soaps and degreasers often cause stripping of the paint, and can dull it out even more quickly. Machine buffing with a high quality polish, followed by an application of Xzilon sealant, restores the paint to like-new condition. It also helps protect from corrosion, causes less parasitic drag (fuel savings!), and makes it much easier to maintain for future cleanings.
Carpet
Standard carpet cleaning includes vacuuming and spot cleaning. Carpet extraction goes a step beyond, using steam cleaning to bring the original texture and appearance back to the carpet. We utilize only approved chemicals and water temperatures to ensure that the carpet is treated without shrinking or discoloration. Different types of stains require different methods of cleaning and chemicals, due to pH levels of the stain. We take great care to make your carpet look as new as possible, every time.
Leather
It is imperative to utilize proper cleaning methods and chemicals on aircraft leather, or else the topcoat that seals in the dye can wear off. When this happens, dye is transferred to cleaning materials and clothes, and the seat will become discolored and sticky. Once leather is cleaned with manufacturer approved chemicals and special towels and brushes, it must be conditioned to keep it soft and supple. It is also a common occurrence to get ink marks, gum, and other stains on the leather. There are certain processes that work, and are safe, to correct these issues. Properly maintained leather should last for years and years without losing its color and feel.
