Funny, after working to remove soot stains from a Pilatus PC-12, other PC-12 owners seek out the same service for their planes. Bring on the turbo props!

Soot stain removal on Pilatus PC-12
What a great plane!

Cirrus-ly!
Shed more light on your future!
Cleaner!
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!
What towels do you use for detailing?
I am frequently asked what products I choose to use in my detailing. Some of them are very good off the shelf products available through local auto parts stores. Some are available through online detailing supply companies. Still others are sent to me to test before they become available to either source. It is a privilege to work with the close network of Detailers across the US and the world while evaluating the leading edge products helping shape what the consumer will buy later on the shelves.
One product that has passed my way are these very plush, highest quality microfiber towels. I have used them for polishing, waxing as well as dry washing. At 5/8″ thick, they are the thickest towels I have ever seen. At $5.00 per towel, they represent a sizable investment. Just ask yourself this question,”If I owned a Ferrari, what towel would I use to care for my $300,000 car?”
I won’t share all of my secrets but I think this is one I owe to all of the nice cars out there.
