As I was washing a couple of aircraft for a client I was again reminded of the importance of safety around planes. There are the usual damage concerns when working on a vehicle be it planes or cars. But the more prevalent concerns that come to mind are those of pilot and passenger safety. Great care is taken to avoid damaging any of the flight systems that keep these birds in the air. I am grateful to those who have mentored me in how to work on and around aircraft. The risks are very real and should never be taken lightly.

Cessna 206 touch up
With the recent cold temperatures, I was called out to touch up this Cessna 206. The hangar that it is stored in had a frozen pipe that thawed and flooded. A quick wash and wax restored it to a show quality shine.
Detailed this Cessna 182 today! Well maintained planes always look it!
Winter wonderland
While in McCall replacing a leather seat cover for a client, I thought a little R&R might be in order!
A little winter gift!
If I can’t be detailing a car today, at least Boise was blessed with this beautiful frost. It is the thickest I’ve ever seen.
Winter car washing
A word of caution this winter…avoid the tunnel car wash when it is extremely busy to avoid additional scratches from the dirt on the car in front of you. If your wheel wells have a lot of mud and yuck in them…clean them first so the brushes won’t grab the grime and drag it across your fenders.
Hurricane Sandy detailing restoration project
A great detailing cause happening in New York. Dirty Harrys Detailing is volunteering their skills to bring the emergency vehicles back to their former glory.
Water beading in January.
Some consider water beading to be a mark of a recently waxed car. I thought the air bubbles frozen in the droplets made for a cool photograph.
