So, you love to fly and you’re a proud owner of an airplane. Just like your car, your airplane will need a good exterior cleaning from time to time.
Paying someone else to do it can get expensive, so what could you do yourself? Putting your best foot forward on DIY exterior maintenance for your private aircraft produces experience and knowledge, and usually saves a good deal of money. But polishing a plane is no easy feat! Here are some tips to get you started on getting beautiful results!
Choose the Right Product
To start, make sure you use products designed specifically for an aircraft. Automotive waxes and cleaners are simply not designed to withstand the challenges and environment of airplanes. With that in mind, you’ll want to get started by using the mildest products first to clean the exterior, progressing to the most aggressive products that will remove oxidation and stains.
Start with a Clean Surface
First, you’ll want to clean the exterior surface so it’s free from the months of dirt, oil, grease, and bug residue. The mildest products are designed mainly to clean the surface and are not abrasive in nature.
Polish Like a Pro
Now that the surface is clean, you’ll need to move on to polishing. This part of the process removes oxidation and stains using more abrasive compounds. Ideally, you want to have a spotless finish, but not at the cost of removing too much underlying material (especially not paint).
- Apply a strip or two of polishing compound.
- With the BuffPro on its lowest setting, spread the compound over the target surface.
- Increase the BuffPro speed setting and work it up and down, back and forth slowly across the surface until it is polished.
- Wipe away any excess polishing compound, and voila, you’re done!
