    Interior cleaning of an aircraft is not much different than an automotive vehicle, other than being very careful to use "non-corrosive" cleaners--IE, no butyl content, and when cleaning the instrument panel area.

    The outside, skin of the plane is one that if often different than a vehicle, mostly due to if it is an exposed aluminum skin or a painted skin.

    Most aircraft are painted with a 2 part expoxy type of paint, such as DuPont Imron, etc.

    This paint is extremely durable and much more dense in it`s structure than used on vehicles.

    The lead guys on air craft are not around here much, only Joe of Superior Shine comes in once in a while, and is very up to running on aircraft detailing.

    The other person, Renny Doyle, is not around here as far as I know.

    What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.

    The first one pictured is a 1969 Beech Bonanza V35, Second one is a 1968 Cessna 310. The bonanza was a beautiful plane, I loved that one
