What comes off in one visit.

Exhaust film, brake dust and hangar grime, on the surface most detailers never reach. Drag the handle — same panel, same angle, same light.

Who is behind it

Why an aeronautical engineer?

Because paint you care about deserves a method, not improvisation.

Process

Four steps, documented and followed up.

The deliverable is not one clean aeroplane. It is proof of the work, and someone who keeps an eye on it — so a small defect never becomes paint work.

  1. A documented walk of the airframe before anything is touched. Paint, brightwork and acrylic assessed, every defect logged and photographed.

  2. In writing: what the aircraft is carrying, what it needs, and in what order. Not left in a text message.

  3. Performed to the scope in the report, hangar or ramp, on your schedule. Nothing added without asking first.

  4. Before-and-after photos of what was done, and a check-in after the work and before the next service is due.
