Question 1

How often should an aircraft be detailed?

Accepted Answer

Most owners run a full exterior detail every 60–90 days, with dry wipe-downs between trips. High-salt coastal environments and heavy utilisation push that to 30–45 days.

Question 2

Will you use anything that voids my paint warranty?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything used is aviation-approved and documented on the work order, and the chemistry list goes into the aircraft record.

Question 3

Can this be done overnight at an FBO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Overnight turns are the most common way this service is booked, and it is priced for the window between a late arrival and an early departure.

Question 4

What is the shortest usable turn?

Accepted Answer

Three hours on a light jet. Below that we will tell you which parts of the scope have to come out rather than rush the whole job.

Question 5

How long does brightwork stay mirrored?

Accepted Answer

Sealed brightwork holds 4–8 months depending on environment and utilisation. Coastal and high-cycle operations sit at the short end.

Question 6

Can heavily oxidised metal be recovered?

Accepted Answer

Usually, but it takes more stages and more hours. We assess before quoting, because the honest answer is sometimes that the cladding is too far gone to chase.

Question 7

Do I need paint correction first?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is not upsell. Ceramic is optically clear and permanent for years — anything under it is sealed in and magnified. We will not coat uncorrected paint.

Question 8

How long is the aircraft down?

Accepted Answer

Two to four days for a light jet including correction and cure. We schedule around your calendar and give you the release time in writing.

Question 9

Is film visible?

Accepted Answer

Not once cured, on a correctly prepared surface. Edges are placed on panel lines wherever the geometry allows.

Question 10

Can film and ceramic be combined?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is the strongest combination available: film on the impact zones, ceramic over the whole airframe including the film.

Question 11

Is machine polishing safe on aircraft paint?

Accepted Answer

With depth gauging, dual-action machines and a documented test section, yes. Without those three things, no — which is why the readings go into the record.

Question 12

How many times can paint be corrected?

Accepted Answer

It depends on remaining film build, which is exactly why we log depth every visit. The record tells you when you are approaching the limit.

Question 13

Can cracked or faded leather be restored?

Accepted Answer

Fading and light cracking usually respond to cleaning, feeding and colour restoration. Structural cracking means replacement, and we will tell you which one you have.

Question 14

Do you handle soiled or contaminated cabins?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including biological contamination, with the appropriate handling and documentation.

Nothing we do is cosmetic.
