Interior Service:

Basic clean: Trash is removed, the cabin is vacuumed, tray tables are wiped down and windows are cleaned.

Full detail: Trash is removed, the cabin is vacuumed, tray tables are wiped down, windows are cleaned, all cockpit instruments and buttons are cleaned, drawers are pulled out and cleaned, leather is cleaned and conditioned, and an attempt will be made to remove all stains in the seats, sidewalls and overhead.

Carpet clean: Carpet is vacuumed, spots are removed and then the entire carpet is cleaned using a cold water and chemical extraction process.

Leather repair and restoration: One of our most popular services, leather repair and restoration includes cleaning to remove the dirt and oils and then conditioning to preserve the natural beauty of the leather. Small rips and tears are repaired and leather is redyed by individuals who have extensive knowledge and experience in leather restoration. Our Perrone factory-certified staff takes special care of your most intricate leather needs.

Woodworking: With master wood craftsmanship, dings and chips are smoothed and polished so that your tables, consoles, overlays, or any wood product in your aircraft looks like new.

Exterior Service:

Basic clean: Radome, windows and leading edges are de-bugged and cleaned. The landing gear is cleaned, as well as exhaust stains on turboprops and jets.

Wash and wax: All painted surfaces are cleaned and waxed by hand with a dry wash compound. This eliminates some of the problems associated with wet washes, such as less attention to detail, water in ports and tubes and lack of protective wax.

De-ice boot treatment: All boots are stripped of old wax, and treated with multiple applications of OEM wax. This restores the wet, shiny look, as well as protects the boots from the elements.

Brightwork polish: All brightwork is cleaned and polished with our state-of-the-art drum buffers. These eliminate swirl marks commonly left by orbital buffers. The brightwork is then hand polished with a final coating that helps protect them.

Paint compound polish and sealant: Using varying grades of compound and orbital buffers, the paint is polished to remove stains and oxidation. Sealant is then applied to protect the paint and keep it looking fresh, as well as reduce drag.

Paint touch-up: Paint is matched and needed areas are cleaned and prepped. Paint is applied and allowed to cure.
