Any recommendations would be great.



Thanks!

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.

Welcome to Autopia! You might even want to consider investing in a steamer too.

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

Like a carpet steamer? I have a mytee lite 2, still learning how to get the most out of it.
