What is exterior detailing?
Exterior detailing is a full wash, decontamination and hand-finish of the airframe. It removes the bonded contaminants that cause corrosion and paint failure if left in place, and every job is documented to the aircraft record. Your final price is confirmed by our team for your specific airframe and condition.
HOW PRICING WORKS
Scoped to your airframe, confirmed by a person.
Exterior Detailing scales with aircraft class and condition, so we do not publish a sticker price. Use the AI calculator on the services page for an instant estimate, or send the booking request — our team reviews the aircraft and comes back to you with the final price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is ever charged without your approval.

WHAT THIS PROTECTS
Bonded contaminants hold moisture against the paint. Removing them on a schedule is the difference between a repaint at twelve years and a repaint at seven.
Questions owners actually ask
- How often should an aircraft be detailed?
- 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.
- Will you use anything that voids my paint warranty?
- No. Everything used is aviation-approved and documented on the work order, and the chemistry list goes into the aircraft record.
