Aircraft Cleaning & Wash Services

Routine washing to keep an aircraft presentable between full details — booked one at a time or on our 3-month membership.

Not every visit needs to be a full detail. Aircraft cleaning covers the routine wash that keeps an aircraft looking sharp between periodic details — bugs, exhaust staining, and surface grime addressed on a regular cadence, rather than letting it build up.

Cleaning vs. detailing: a cleaning is a wash — surface-level upkeep. A full detail is a deeper process that can include oxidation removal, polish, ceramic sealant, and a full interior clean. Read the wash vs. full detail guide for a full comparison.

Exterior wash

A full hand wash of the fuselage, wings, and empennage with aircraft-safe soap — the routine upkeep between full details.

Bug & residue removal

Leading edges, cowlings, and belly cleared of bug strikes, exhaust staining, and oil residue.

Engine & body wash

Our standard wash tier — engine cowlings and full body cleaned in a single visit, priced by aircraft category.

Membership upkeep

A 3-month membership covers six visits, roughly one every two weeks, so the aircraft stays clean without booking each wash individually.

Aircraft Cleaning FAQ

Questions, Answered.

What's the difference between aircraft cleaning and a full detail?+

Cleaning is routine upkeep — a wash that keeps the aircraft presentable between full details. A full detail is a deeper process that can include oxidation removal, polish, ceramic sealant, and a complete interior clean. Most owners use cleaning to maintain the aircraft between periodic full details. Our aircraft wash vs. full detail article breaks this down further.

How often should I wash my aircraft?+

It depends on how often the aircraft flies, where it's stored (hangared vs. tied down), and local conditions — coastal and humid climates tend to need more frequent washing. Our 3-month membership is built around a roughly biweekly cadence; we can recommend a schedule based on your situation.

What's included in the membership program?+

Six wash visits over three months, billed once at signup, working out to a lower per-visit cost than booking washes individually. See the pricing page for membership rates by aircraft category.

Do you offer one-time washes?+

Yes — you can book a single engine and body wash without joining the membership. See pricing for current rates by aircraft category.
