Aircraft Washing

Washing the exterior of your aircraft is important to ensure that grease, grime, dirt, and oils don’t become permanent residents on your aircraft.

To remove these unwanted contaminants, only OEM approved chemicals and techniques are used to ensure that every surface of your aircraft’s exterior is left clean and spotless. Extra attention is also given to exhaust trails and under-wing sections to ensure that any build ups are removed before they have a chance to damage your aircraft’s paint.

We proudly offer Dry Wash as our standard washing service in every one of our locations; however, we do continue to offer a Wet Wash service in select locations that have EPA approved wash pits.

AIRCRAFT DRY WASH

Thanks to increasing concerns about water contamination due to water runoff, much of the aviation industry has moved towards using a chemical dry wash in place of wet (or water) washing. As such, Immaculate Flight offers the dry wash as our standard exterior wash in every one of our locations around the United States.

Although not dry at all, aircraft dry washing is accomplished by utilizing OEM approved chemicals applied via spay bottles and microfiber towels. Specially designed, these chemicals ensure a bug-, carbon-, and oil-free surface without leaving contaminants most water sources (wash pits) are known for.

The best part may actually be the fact that a dry wash can be accomplished nearly anywhere, thus removing the requirement that your aircraft be towed to a wash pit. This means your wash can be accomplished in the hangar at home or even right on the FBO’s ramp while on the road.

In the end, a quality wash is no longer limited to certain airports and at the convenience of others.

Aircraft WET WASH

Although losing favor thanks to ever-tightening EPA rules and regulations, when permitted, a wet wash is still a great way to clean your aircraft’s exterior from the rigors of flight.

Using only OEM approved soaps (sorry no dish soap here), the exterior is first prepared to protect sensitive areas from water ingestion. This means static ports are covered and composite surfaces are identified to ensure minimal pressure is applied to your aircraft. Only then is the exterior cleaned from top to bottom using soft bristle brushes to agitate built up dirt and oils before the entire surface is hand wiped leaving behind a clean exterior that’s free of water spots.

NOTE: Wet washing is limited at many of our locations due to EPA regulations and airport restrictions. For those airports that do not allow wet washing, we are still able to perform a dry wash  in place; however, for the most up to date listing of which airports allow Wet Washing, we encourage you to contact us.

Brightwork - Metal Polishing

Designed to remove scratches, pitting, and hazing from your aircraft metal surfaces, this multistage process not only removes these items but will leave your metal with a deep, mirror-like shine.

Done in several steps, the entire process begins by determining your aircraft’s condition and includes an inspection of ALL metal surfaces including spinner heads, engine inlets, vertical stabilizer, and wing surfaces.

Following the inspection, your aircraft is protected from flying debris by covering over windows, static wicks and ports with plastic sheeting and tarps. As soon as the aircraft is prepped, high-speed buffers and various grades of polishing compound are used to remove built up corrosion and oxidation that have made their way into the metal’s surface. Repeated three to five times (as determined by condition), every water spot, scratch, and pit is removed leaving behind a flawless, mirror-like finish.

Paint Protection - Sealants & Waxes

Protecting your aircraft’s paint not only keeps it looking great, but can actually save you money in repainting costs down the line. If you’re looking to restore the appearance of your aircraft’s faded paint or just want to keep what you have looking great, these services are for you.

De-ice Boot Clean and Condition

Just like their metal cousins, deice boots require care to ensure their appearance and useful life can be extended as much as possible. Using a multi-step process that first removes old buildup, the boot surface is cleaned multiple times before several new layers of sealant are applied. The result is a boot that not only looks new, but has a deep shine that will make your ramp neighbors envious.

Gear Well Cleaning

Done in several stages and with the utmost care to ensure components are not damaged, our gear well cleaning service brings your aircraft back to a like-new appearance.

OEM approved products are used to thoroughly clean your aircraft’s gear well areas, thus ensuring all that’s left behind are clean and easily identifiable parts. And since no pressure washers or water are used, the entire interior surface of the gear well is hand wiped providing a further layer of safety to ensure mechanical parts are not disturbed during the service.
