Is your personal or business aircraft lacking that just-like-new glow that it had when you first bought it? Because they travel at high speeds and withstand a wide range of temperatures, airplanes endure more than the average vehicle. And unprotected planes are exposed to more grease, grime, and dirt that can affect the craft’s overall performance. Airplane detailing will help your aircraft perform better, last longer, and retain its value.

Even though planes are significantly larger, the process of airplane detailing mimics that of boats and cars. At BuffPro, we believe using proper equipment and technique is your best bet.

Step 1 – Cleaning

The first step of airplane detailing is to ensure you have a nice, clean surface. Without a clean surface, your polishing products won’t properly adhere.

The cleaning process begins with a good washing down of the entire plane.

If you can’t wash with a hose, take a rag or towel and wipe off dirt and dust from the airplane’s exterior. To ensure the cloth doesn’t get too dirty, shake it out frequently and swap it for a clean one from time to time. Also, you can use a quality cleaner and degreaser to help you get the job done.

Step 2 – Polishing and Buffing

After the surface of your airplane has been cleaned, you are ready to apply the wax. This step is crucial because wax helps protect the plane’s body from damage. Because of its angles and curves, polishing a plane can be challenging. Especially if you are attempting to do the job by hand.

Like any airplane detailing project, you want the best tools and products to complete it to a professional standard. For airplane detailing, we recommend the BuffPro power tool that turns polishing into a faster process. With an ergonomic design, the buffer promises less operator fatigue. Also, it restores a high-gloss, durable shine in fewer steps. That means you won’t waste time and will save money.

You can use BuffPro on painted surfaces and bare metals like titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum. With this buffer by your side, you will find airplane detailing easier with the results you were hoping for.

Importance of Airplane Detailing

Manufacturers have designed airplanes to have a life that exceeds 20  years. As such, your aircraft is a valuable investment, and keeping its exterior well-maintained is integral to its upkeep. The following are some of the benefits of detailing:

• Prevent corrosion and extend the life of the paint
• Reduce drag and improve plane performance
• Increase resale value

Now that fall is here, it’s the right time to clean your RV and prepare for spring. While you can choose to get your RV professionally cleaned, exterior RV detailing is a task most people can do themselves.

From equipment and washing to the best surface polishing methods, the following are detailing tips to keep your RV in tip-top shape.

Use the Right Equipment for RV Detailing

Renting or owning a pressure washer with a foam cannon can make applying soap to a tall vehicle easier and faster. However, when using a pressure washer, you must be careful not to apply too much pressure. Doing so can damage or nick the paint, leading to rust. When using a pressure washer, we always recommend erring on the side of caution and using a low PSI. This type of cleaning is also known as soft-pressure washing.

Cleaning an RV Roof

Your RVs roof is usually the dirtiest part of the vehicle. And that’s why it requires special attention. For cleaning your roof choose a cleaning solution formulated to clean and protect your roof from UV rays. Also, these products can help prevent fading and cracking. When in doubt, check what your RV manufacturer recommends.

Take Your Time

It stands to reason that RV detailing takes time to do the job right. These vehicles are bigger than cars and have more nooks and crannies. For example, it can be easy to miss a small spot under a ladder. Therefore, we recommend taking breaks and working in the shade, if possible.

Don’t Worry About Drying Your RV

Especially on hot days, drying an RV can prove an impossible task. Instead, use a washing product to help reduce the appearance of water spots. Also, there are water purifiers that use filters to remove minerals in water that can cause water spots.

Polish Your RV with BuffPro Buffer

BuffPro is an electric polishing system with several buffing pad options. It removes oxidation, light scratches, and swirls for a professional polish. The system also features dual pistol grip handles that are ergonomic. That means it reduces awkward wrist positioning when polishing. For RV detailing, BuffPro delivers a professional, deep shine that protects your vehicle.

Also, BuffPro was designed by a professional detailer and made explicitly so users can achieve a superior shine in half the time of using other products.

To see the advantages of BuffPro’s innovative electrically operated drum style buffer design over other buffing systems, let’s first discuss how a traditional rotary design works. In a traditional rotary buffer, the powerful force driving it is run directly off the electric motor. This is referred to as a rotary design with a direct drive, which traditional buffers utilize.

Traditional Rotary Buffer

Because of this direct drive design, using a rotary buffer successfully requires both skill and experience. The rotary buffer can actually buff out surfaces too much – in inexperienced hands, it can remove paint clear off the surface of whatever you’re buffing, requiring a new paint job.  Definitely something you want to avoid!

Additionally, rotary buffers tend to take longer to achieve visually stunning results. Traditional rotary buffers can leave swirl marks even when used carefully, meaning you’ll have to spend at least twice as much time removing any swirls left by the first pass. This extra time means you’ll be working harder for longer, requiring a lot of upper body and back strength. Not to mention, worker fatigue increases the risk for mistakes and injuries, as specified by OSHA, which can be very costly.

To summarize, the cons that accompany traditional rotary buffers include:

• Hard to use
• Easily removes paint from surfaces
• Time-Consuming
• Swirls
• Labor-intensive
• Uncomfortable after extended use

The Buffpro Difference

The BuffPro drum-style buffer has been designed so that professional detailers get the best shine for their customers with the least time and effort, revolutionizing the manner in which surfaces are buffed and polished by changing the powered motion from a rotary rotation with a disc to an axial motion with a drum. The BuffPro has an electric motor, heat treated precision cut gears, and a variable speed locking trigger for ease of use.

What’s more? It is literally impossible to make swirl marks with BuffPro. Also, using Buffpro will lower costs associated with labor and materials by using centrifugal force to minimize splatters and keep pads cleaner, longer. This cuts down on the amount of chemicals used and reduces the need for masking and cleanup time.

So, why does Buffpro OUTSHINE the competition? Well, its list of advantages includes:

• FAST – complete a full buff and polish in half the time you spend now
• Easy to use
• No swirl marks, EVER
• Efficient and cost-effective
  • Improve accuracy, user fatigue, and daily quota
  • Reduce training and buffing time by 50%
  • Lower costs associated with labor and materials
  • Restore a high-gloss, durable shine in fewer steps
