Makai's Coating 9H
Elevate your aircraft’s protection and shine with Makai’s Coating, a professional-grade ceramic coating boasting a 9H hardness rating for exceptional durability. This advanced coating creates a hard, transparent barrier over your paintwork, offering approximately one year of robust defense against UV fading, oxidation, chemical etching, bird droppings, and light scratches. Its hydrophobic properties mean water beads up and rolls off, taking dirt with it, making cleaning significantly easier. Requires meticulous surface preparation for optimal bonding and performance, resulting in a stunning, deep gloss and a slick, protected finish.
Vacuum Carpets
Restore freshness and cleanliness to your cabin environment with our thorough carpet vacuuming service. We utilize powerful, professional vacuums equipped with specialized tools to meticulously remove dirt, dust, crumbs, and debris from all accessible carpeted areas, including cabin floors, walkways, and baggage compartments. This essential step enhances cabin appearance, improves hygiene, and helps preserve the condition of your carpets.
Clean Bugs off of Nose and Inlets (front of engine nacelles)
Insect residue isn’t just unsightly; it’s acidic and can permanently damage your aircraft’s paint and potentially affect airflow. Our targeted bug removal service focuses on the nose, windshield, and engine nacelle inlets, using specialized, aviation-safe solutions to dissolve and gently lift stubborn bug remnants without harming the underlying surfaces. This preserves your paint’s integrity and ensures clean, unobstructed airflow to critical engine components.
Light Clay Bar (removes contaminants from paint)
Achieve an incredibly smooth paint surface with our light clay bar treatment. Even after washing, microscopic contaminants like industrial fallout, tree sap mist, and bonded environmental particles can remain embedded in the paint, feeling rough to the touch. Using professional detailing clay and lubricant, we gently glide the clay over the paintwork, lifting away these contaminants safely. This crucial step prepares the paint for optimal polishing results and ensures maximum bonding and longevity for waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings.
Leather Conditioning
Preserve the luxurious feel and appearance of your aircraft’s leather seating and trim. Our leather conditioning service replenishes essential moisture and nutrients lost over time due to UV exposure and use. We apply premium, aviation-appropriate conditioners that penetrate the leather, keeping it soft, supple, and protected against drying, cracking, and fading. This treatment enhances comfort and extends the life of your valuable leather interior components.
Deep Cleaning of Interior
Experience an exceptionally clean and rejuvenated cabin environment with our comprehensive Deep Interior Cleaning service. Going far beyond a basic tidy-up, this meticulous process involves detailed vacuuming of all areas (including crevices and seat tracks), deep cleaning of carpets and upholstery as needed (potential shampooing/extraction), thorough cleaning and conditioning of leather, wiping down and sanitizing all hard surfaces (tray tables, galleys, lavatories), cleaning headliners and sidewalls, and polishing interior windows. The result is an immaculate, fresh, and truly comfortable space for passengers and crew.
Dry Wash (Rinseless Wash)
Maintain your aircraft’s pristine appearance efficiently and effectively with our Dry Wash service. Utilizing advanced, high-lubricity rinseless wash solutions specifically approved for aviation use, we safely encapsulate and lift light dirt, dust, and fingerprints from the exterior surfaces without the need for extensive water or rinsing. Multiple plush microfiber towels are used to ensure a scratch-free process. This method is perfect for light cleaning needs, locations with water restrictions, or maintaining a sharp look between full wet washes, often leaving a temporary layer of gloss and protection.
Wipe Down Leading Edges
Ensure your aircraft’s leading edges are perfectly clean and aerodynamically smooth. This targeted service focuses specifically on the forward edges of wings and stabilizers, meticulously removing all traces of insect residue using aviation-safe cleaners and techniques. Clean leading edges not only improve appearance but also prevent the acidic damage bugs can cause and contribute to optimal aerodynamic performance.
Degrease Under Engine Nacelles
Address the common buildup of oil, grease, and exhaust residue found under engine nacelles. Our targeted degreasing service utilizes potent, aviation-approved degreasing agents to break down and remove these stubborn contaminants safely. A clean nacelle underside enhances appearance, is crucial for reducing fire hazards, and allows for easier visual inspection of potential leaks or maintenance needs.
Clean Landing Gear
Maintain the critical components of your landing gear with our detailed cleaning service. We meticulously clean struts, wheels, tires, brakes, and linkages, removing accumulated brake dust, grease, hydraulic fluid, and grime. Using aviation-safe cleaners and careful techniques, we ensure these vital areas are not only visually clean but also readily accessible for thorough inspection and maintenance, contributing to overall operational safety.
Clean Windscreen
Ensure optimal clarity and safety with our professional windscreen cleaning service. Using only aviation-approved cleaners specifically designed for acrylic or glass windscreens and lint-free, non-abrasive cloths, we carefully remove bugs, smudges, dirt, and haze without scratching or damaging the surface. Crystal-clear visibility is paramount for flight safety, and our meticulous process guarantees a streak-free, unobstructed view.
Clean Tail (Vertical and Horizontal Stab)
Complete your aircraft’s clean appearance with focused attention on the empennage. Our tail cleaning service thoroughly addresses the vertical stabilizer (fin) and horizontal stabilizers (tailplane), removing dirt, exhaust stains, and environmental contaminants using appropriate, safe methods (wet or dry wash techniques). This ensures the entire aircraft presents a cohesive, professional look and allows for clear inspection of control surfaces.
Degrease Belly
Tackle the heavy accumulation of grime typically found on the aircraft’s underside fuselage. Our belly degreasing service uses effective, aviation-safe degreasers to dissolve and remove oil, hydraulic fluid, exhaust soot, and dirt from this large area. Cleaning the belly significantly improves the aircraft’s overall appearance, aids in safety by reducing fire hazards, and allows for unobstructed inspection of antennas, drain ports, and potential fluid leaks.
Polish All Painted Surfaces (Single Pass)
Revitalize your aircraft’s paint and significantly boost its gloss with our single-pass polishing service. Using professional machine polishers paired with carefully selected polishes and pads appropriate for aircraft finishes, we effectively remove light oxidation, fine swirls, water spots, and minor imperfections across all painted surfaces. This process enhances paint clarity, depth, and reflectivity, creating a brilliant shine and providing an ideal surface for wax, sealant, or ceramic coating application.
