Why 90% of aircraft owners are ruining their paint

Most aircraft owners don't think about their paint until it's too late.


Here's what actually happens when you skip regular detailing:


Oxidation — UV exposure at altitude breaks down clear coat faster than any car on the road. By the time you see it, you've already lost 30-40% of your paint's depth.


Exhaust staining — Those dark streaks behind the engines? That's carbon embedding into the surface. The longer it sits, the more aggressive the correction needs to be.


Hydraulic fluid damage — A single drip left uncleaned can eat through paint in under 48 hours.


The fix isn't complicated. It's consistency.


A proper exterior wash every 30-45 days with aviation-grade products keeps oxidation at bay. A full detail every 90 days with paint correction and sealant gives you years of protection.


We detail private jets and charter aircraft for owners who understand that their aircraft is a $5M+ asset worth protecting.


If that's you — we're taking on new clients now.
