What Is Private Jet Detailing?
We Provide Specialized, High-End Care to Maintain Your Aircraft
At Van Nuys Clean Aircraft, private jet detailing involves specialized, high-end care to maintain aircraft aesthetics and value, costing anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000+ for full services. Services range from basic immediate ”trip-ready" cleaning and dry washing to extensive interior detailing, brightwork polishing, and protective coating applications. Coating applications we use include nano coating for maximum proteciton of aircraft surfaces. Key challenges include high-stakes, time-sensitive work to avoid grounding aircraft, with costs varying based on jet size and complexity.
Key Aspects of Private Jet Detailing:
- Cost Breakdown: Exterior-only services for medium jets often range from $1,500 to $3,000, while comprehensive interior and exterior detailing for larger aircraft can exceed $20,000. Specialized, last-minute, or overnight services can incur high premiums, such as thousands in extra fees for immediate, emergency, or "after-hours" work.
- Services Provided:
- Exterior: Dry washing to remove soot, grease, and bugs; wet washing; brightwork polishing (aluminum/chrome); paint sealant and wax application.
- Interior: Deep cleaning and sanitizing of the cabin, cockpit, galley, and lavatory; carpet shampooing; leather conditioning.
- Licensing and Safety: While owners can clean their own aircraft, it is crucial to use qualified professionals to avoid damage. The FAA often requires specific, approved techniques and materials for maintenance-related cleaning, with risks of "grounding" if performed incorrectly.
- Process Challenges: Detailing is highly technical and time-sensitive to meet strict flight schedules. Environmental factors, such as high heat, can necessitate extra fees and specialized handling of cleaning agents.
