    Thanks for the kind words. Jimmie has a very good point for instance the are 2 "windshields" on the plane we just replaced 1 due to a heating problem. The cost $20,000 for 1 side. Airplanes have HUGE cost in any parts. With that said in all the airports I have seen only 1 did I ever see a...

    Starting a 26 hour detail w/ pics

    After the work I did on my truck my boss asked if I could do the same to some of our aircraft. This will be my 3rd plane that I have done for the company. This is Kingair B200 turboprop.

    My boss looked at my detailed truck and wondered if I could do that to our planes so here are my questions: The jet A that we burn leaves a nasty black film on the plane I used some DG 652 and a orange pad it came right off so that solves that problem. I currently use Menz on my cars but I...

    Denim Black

    I sell Harly davidsons for a living here in MI. HD memo states to wash the bike using soap and water or windex ONLY otherwise you will ruin the finish. So, that is what I suggest nothing more. It is a teflon based paint and requires no maintenance other than cleaning. A friend of mine had a...

    A question about paint chips and lighting for detailing

    I am sure that just a few on here have the ideal lighting ie a paint booth. Most of us just use our garage lighting. It is not necessary to have high powered lights but I will guarantee you will seee mistakes once you bring it outside in the sun. Its still cold here in MI so I just accept them...

    Help me choose HID Xenon Kit

    Look into the output rating and the color that it gives off. The higher the rating the "bluer" the light and thus less bright light. I looked into these but have not got around to buying them yet. There are several good forums on these. Do the research it will pay off for you. Cheers Mike

    New Interior tool?

Obviously this was used to reduce the amount of chemicals needed and it added O3 to the water. I bet you could get your hands...
