Process

4 stages, executed on the airframe.

1 day

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Mask sensors and connectors

    Position sensors, lube fittings, brake assemblies, and electrical connectors covered. Aviation-safe cleaner only goes where it belongs.

  3. 03

    Cosmetic degrease

    Aviation-safe cleaner removes dirt, ramp grime, and brake dust. No solvents that affect rubber or hydraulic seals.

  4. 04

    Wipe-down and dressing

    Gear and oleo struts wiped to factory presentation. Wheel rims hand-cleaned, bay liners cleared of buildup.
