Exterior Wash

Our Exterior Wash delivers a complete nose-to-tail clean using safe, professional methods designed for aviation. The process begins with a waterless dry wash, removing contaminants in an environmentally friendly way with zero run-off. Hard-to-reach areas are detailed using soft brushes and high-quality microfibre cloths, ensuring a spotless, streak-free result. Every external surface is covered — including the fuselage, wings, propellers, landing gear, engine cowlings, and leading edges — while sensitive components such as pitot tubes, static ports, and flight sensors are carefully protected to maintain full airworthiness. To finish, cockpit glass is treated with an anti-glare coating to enhance pilot visibility and provide a premium, polished finish.

Exterior Detail

Our Exterior Detail begins with a complete exterior wash, followed by precision machine polishing of leading edges and the application of a high-performance ceramic wax that provides up to 12 months of protection. This service is ideal for preserving surface protection through the colder months or achieving a deep, high-gloss finish that enhances ramp presence during the warmer season.

De-ice Boot Treatment

Our De-ice Boot Treatment delivers specialist care for one of the aircraft's most critical safety components. Pneumatic de-ice boots are prone to dulling, fading, and cracking over time, which not only affects appearance but can also impact their long-term reliability. We begin with a thorough clean to safely remove contaminants before restoring a deep, uniform gloss finish. A UV-resistant protective layer is then applied to help shield the rubber from harmful sunlight and environmental stress, preventing premature wear and maintaining flexibility. The result is a professional, polished appearance combined with extended service life — keeping your aircraft both dependable and distinguished on the ramp.

Partial Exterior Wash

Our Partial Exterior Wash targets high-impact zones including the aircraft’s leading edges and full undercarriage, extending to the undersides of wings. Using aviation-approved rinseless products, we safely remove bugs, grease, and runway residue. Ideal for maintaining appearance between full exterior washes or during short turnarounds.

Ceramic Coating

Our premium multi-layer ceramic coating provides up to two years of paint protection, helping your aircraft maintain a flawless finish while reducing maintenance frequency and cost. The process includes a full exterior wash, surface decontamination, and polishing before applying the coating for maximum adhesion. Once cured, it forms a durable barrier against UV rays, corrosion, and environmental contaminants. The hydrophobic finish repels water, dirt, and grime, preserving depth, gloss, and colour vibrancy. Applied using aviation-approved, non-corrosive methods, this trusted SiO₂ hybrid coating is proven in demanding aviation environments.

Brightwork Polishing

Our Brightwork Polishing service restores the mirror-like shine of exposed metal surfaces such as spinners, leading edges, and exhaust surrounds. Using aviation-approved compounds and specialist polishing systems, we safely remove oxidation, haze, and light marks to reveal a deep, reflective finish. Beyond appearance, regular brightwork care protects against corrosion, extending the life of critical components. All work is performed with precision masking to safeguard surrounding paint and composites, ensuring a flawless result. A polished finish not only enhances ramp presence but also supports long-term value, and can be booked as a standalone service or part of a full exterior detail.
