01
Sensors & Probes
Pitot and static ports are masked, never sprayed or probed. Angle-of-attack vanes, TAT probes, and antennas are never forced, lubricated, or used as handholds.
Aviation Preservation
Brightwork Restoration
Aircraft brightwork polishing and metal mirror finishing.
Overview
Metal preservation and mirror finishing.
Metal preservation and mirror finishing for leading edges, spinners, engine inlets, and polished accents.
What's Involved
Metal Preservation & Mirror Finishing
Time on aircraft2–6 hrs (labour-heavy)
Covers
- Full inspection of metal surfaces — spinners, exhaust stacks, inlets, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and wing surfaces
- Adjacent painted surfaces, windows, ports, static wicks, and sealant lines masked off
- Progressive polishing compounds remove oxidation and erosion — repeated until a clear mirror finish
- Protective wash-down after
Brilliant reflective metal surfaces maintained to the highest aviation presentation standards.
Standing Precautions
Some areas do not forgive guesswork.
Some areas on an aircraft or vessel do not forgive guesswork. A finish can be restored — a damaged sensor, a compromised windscreen, or a degraded de-ice boot cannot.
Before any cleaning begins, sensitive systems are identified and protected. These are non-negotiable protocols on every aircraft and vessel we service.
02
Nose, Radomes & Leading Edges
Radomes receive no harsh solvents or abrasives. Lightning diverter strips remain untouched. The anti-glare panel is never polished, waxed, or solvent-wiped — it is matte by design.
03
Glass & Windows
Acrylic windscreens and Mylar-coated cabin windows see no ammonia, no dry wiping, and no pressure. They are flooded and wiped in a single direction using clean media.
04
Powerplant & Systems
Inlets, exhausts, and fuel vents are protected from water and chemical ingress. Oxygen service areas remain completely free of grease and petroleum products.
05
Underside, Gear & Contact Areas
Landing gear and wheel wells are degreased with full respect for seals, brake assemblies, and tire compounds. High-pressure water is never used near seams, seals, ports, bearings, or electrical bonding points.
On the water, the same discipline applies.
These protocols exist so flight departments and yacht owners never have to choose between a clean aircraft and a dispatchable one.
