1. Exterior Detailing

Preparation:  Perform a walk-around inspection to note existing damage. Securely cover or seal all critical sensors, antennas, and ports (such as pitot tubes and engine/APU plugs).

Pre-Wash & Spot Cleaning: Pre-rinse the aircraft to remove loose debris. Treat stubborn spots—like hydraulic fluid, bug impacts, and exhaust soot—using specialized solvent-based cleaners.

Washing: Wash the aircraft using low-pressure systems and pH-neutral, aviation-approved cleaners. Start from the top (windshield and roof) and work your way down to the belly to avoid streaking.

Brightwork & Polish: Machine or hand-polish metal components (like leading edges and engine inlets) to prevent corrosion. Restore faded or oxidized paint using mild compounds and polishing pads.

Protection: Apply a UV-blocking aviation wax or ceramic coating to protect the paint and preserve aerodynamics.

Windows: Clean all Plexiglas or acrylic windscreens using dedicated, ammonia-free products to prevent scratching and fogging.

2. Interior Detailing

Debris Removal & Order of Operations: Remove all trash, personal items, and placards. Work systematically from the rear of the cabin to the front to avoid tracking dirt and cross-contamination.
Upholstery & Carpets: Vacuum thoroughly and deep-clean by shampooing carpets. Clean and condition leather seats, and treat fabric or vinyl to maintain suppleness and prevent wear.

Sanitization: Disinfect high-touch surfaces in the cabin and cockpit, including tray tables, armrests, seatbelts, and lavatory mirrors.

Galley & Lavatory: Scrub and sanitize the toilet, restock cabinet supplies, wipe down galley countertops, and clean sinks.
