Welcome Anna!
Types of Aircraft Materials
Aircraft have three primary MAIN materials you’llbe working with. 1. Aluminum. This AirCam (pictured below) the main body (also known as the fuselage) is painted aluminum. This is the most common, you’ll see this all the time. 2. Carbon Fiber. The floats on this aircraft are made from carbon fiber. This is also what Cirrus and Diamond aircraft are made of. You can use most of the same methods that you use on aluminum, but there is one big one you can’t do. No ceramic coating carbon fiber aircraft. It will cause static dissipation issues and also void the owners warranty if it’s active. 3. Fabric. You see this one occasionally, and it’s the most challenging to work with. Everything on fabric must be done by hand. There are very specialized products for it. It’s also it very challenging to get streaks out of and tends to be very dry so it needs much more wax than the other two materials. You don’t usually see all three in one aircraft but you do on an AirCam! I’m looking to generate some more helpful content for you guys, just let me know what you’re looking for!

Question
What products for a simple spray on and let the soap do the job do you prefer?

Great question! One thing that’s very different from car detailing and Aircraft detailing is that almost all airports do not allow wet washing. The FAA has banned it except in designated wash racks. Also, water can get in places and damage aircraft and cause corrosion. You’re going to want to do a waterless or dry wash. It depends on the part of the aircraft you’re working on. I would use buddy belly on any grease, I would use Koenig polish on exhaust soot, and I use American Detailers Garage F-Bomb as my dry washing solution. It work fantastic, but definitely dilute it as it can actually stain very oxidized paint.

Here’s the aircraft we’re doing today. As you can see, you DEFINITELY can’t wet wash it. There’s more to it, for example this aircraft has fabric wings and that requires special aircraft approved products, but that’s more in depth.
