Our Aircraft Detailing Services at
Santa Monica Airport
Exterior Aircraft Washing
Regular washing is essential to remove exhaust residue, carbon buildup, grease, hydraulic fluid, and environmental contaminants. Our exterior wash services include:
- Full aircraft exterior wash
- Brightwork and metal polishing
- Landing gear cleaning
- Belly degreasing
- Engine nacelle cleaning
- Drying and spot-free finishing
Our detailing process protects sensitive aircraft surfaces while restoring a clean, polished appearance that reflects professional standards.
Aircraft Polishing & Paint Correction
Over time, aircraft paint can oxidize and lose its gloss due to sun exposure, exhaust residue, and ramp conditions. Our polishing and paint correction services restore the finish by:
- Removing oxidation and surface defects
- Restoring gloss and clarity
- Enhancing paint protection
- Preparing surfaces for ceramic coatings
This service dramatically improves the look of the aircraft and helps preserve the integrity of the paint system.
Ceramic Coatings for Aircraft
Ceramic coatings are one of the most advanced protective solutions available for aircraft surfaces. At Van Nuys Clean Aircraft, we apply professional nano-ceramic coatings that provide:
- Long-lasting UV protection
- Easier cleaning and reduced washing frequency
- Enhanced gloss and shine
- Protection from oxidation and environmental contaminants
Ceramic coatings are especially valuable for aircraft based at busy airports like Santa Monica where exposure to pollution and exhaust is common.
