With the fewer day light hours upon us, we are having to use our headlights a bit more. What better way to add a margin of safety than to allow more light to illuminate your path.
Cleaner!
I love a challenge!
Clearer outlook ahead!
It’s been interesting experiencing what “they” say. You know the ol’ saying,”Do what you enjoy and you’ll never work a day in your life. ” This week has been a good example of that wise tail.
I was asked to “do what I do” to this Cessna 210 and I believe the results are clear. (The Pun is coming) the exterior was treated to some oxidation removal, polishing and then finished in our high end wax. The interior was cleaned and conditioned with care. The spinner was polished and the belly lost a few pounds of grease and grime.
The real story, however, are the windows. (Speaking of the Pun) The windows were recently replaced and were already showing their wear. So…”we did what we do!” We polished them! Now the view is clearer and as a result the glare is dramatically reduced. The photo below exhibits the difference in clarity. At this stage the interior side had been polished on both the left and right. The exterior, however, had only been polished on the left. There are two sky lights in the ceiling but notice how diffracted the light is on the right. Imagine trying to fly into the sun under those conditions. Needless to say, I love what I do!
Taking Command of the week!
This week has been quite the challenge. Detailing this Commander has pushed the ol’ body to the limit. Next week we’ll finish it off and schedule the next one after a little R&R.
Ready for snow season!
If you’re going to I vest in such a fine automobile, why not protect the paint from rock chips. This CL was treated to a Paint Protection Film wrap in preparation for our Idaho winter driving.
More Maule detailing
Another Maule detailed today. This one just received our “New Plane” prep. It is fresh from the factory and off to its new owner.
Back to the back country!
This Maule is headed back where it belongs! Idaho’s beautiful back country is just the place to explore with such a capable aircraft. Now it’s going back with the latest in protective coatings on the exterior. Routine cleaning will be much easier from here forward.
To the skies!
We have been blessed with the responsibility of detailing some of the most iconic aircraft ever to grace the skies. When you make the investment both, financially and emotionally, to restore and preserve such fine museum quality aircraft, why skimp on the quality of service and products used for detailing? Let us help keep your aircraft looking its best for years to come!
Time to Scout?
…another Scout detail to add to the ol’ resume! Too many to count at this point.
Vintage aircraft!
This is a 1940s Taylor Craft that need a light polish. The plane was recovered and freshly painted in 1992 but the sun had taken its tole. Some say canvas airplanes can’t be polished but we say sure they can! What do you think?
