PREPARATION:
We first begin to prepare the plane by removing the dust and loose debris with the California Car Duster.

DE-BUGGING:
We then remove any bugs or bird droppings from the leading edges of the wings, horizontal & vertical stabilizers as well as the cowling, engine nacelles, flaps and landing gear. This is all done using Wing Waxers Degrease/De-Bug Cleaner. This biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable product has many uses. Unlike mineral spirit solvents, our Degrease Cleaner also works excellent at removing bugs from cowlings and leading edges as well as bird droppings from upper surfaces. It's very effective at removing exhaust stains and it makes an outstanding aircraft wash when diluted with water. Two ounces of Degrease Cleaner per one gallon of water is recommended.

DEGREASING:
After a thorough de-bugging it's time to degrease the Belly, Landing Gear, Cowling and/or Engine Nacelles. Again this task will be accomplished using Wing Waxers

Biodegradable Degrease/De-Bug Cleaner in compliance with all EPA regulations.

DEOXIDIZING:

At this point we'll need to deoxidize all painted surfaces (over & under) with Wing Waxers De-Ox Cleaner. The deoxidizing is a necessary step regardless of "how new" or "how good" your paint presently appears. Deoxidizing the paint will ensure maximum adhesion of our PTFE Sealant by removing any wax, grease, exhaust and any oil films. Our De-Ox Cleaner is an ultra mild abrasive of a 3300-grit factor combined with detergent additives making it impossible to ware through any painted surface. Typical rubbing compounds have an 800 to 1500-grit factor.

Deoxidizing an aircraft surface prior to using our PTFE Sealant is an essential element of successfully rejuvenating an old tarnished or oxidized finish. Our De-Ox Cleaner is a "paint safe" non-abrasive formula that will not risk removing paint from rivet heads or lap seams. It will however do an outstanding job of removing such stains as fuel, oil, burned exhaust, acid rain, bug-splash and pollution, as well as old wax build-up. After

the use of our De-Ox Cleaner the aircraft will have a high lustrous shine.

Don't let this lead you to believe that nothing more is required, this has simply removed the oxidation which looks great but offers no protection from the elements that put it in its previous condition. To retain and enhance this appearance, sealing is required.

Our De-Ox Cleaner is paint safe, non-abrasive, and it will not risk removing paint from rivet heads or lap seams.  It will do an outstanding job of removing stains such as fuel, oil, burned exhaust, acid rains, bug splash and pollution as well as old wax build-up.  After the use of our De-Ox Cleaner, the aircraft’s finish will have a high gloss.  You have only taken off the surface layer which looks great, but offers no protection from the elements that put it in its previous condition.  Sealing is required to retain and enhance its appearance.

SEALING:
After washing down the entire aircraft to remove all dry residues from our De-Ox Cleaner, we will apply Wing Waxers "One-Year" PTFE Sealant. This product will offer you the highest possible reflective value of your painted surfaces, as well as afford you the absolute ultimate in paint protection. Unlike a common wax or polish that will . deteriorate in just a few months, Wing Waxers PTFE Sealant will cure to form a thermal plastic resin to last well over a year in most cases.

The acronym PTFE comes from the scientific word "Polytetrafluoroethlene." It is a thermal plastic resin that is inert to nearly all chemicals as well as acid rain, bug-splash and high ultra violet or high pollutants.

It is recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as being the "slipperiest substance known to man." It is very simple to apply and just as easy to buff out, whether working by hand or using an orbital polisher. Rather than leaving a hard crusty residue common to a wax or polish, our PTFE will set with just a light haze that can be removed with the wipe of a towel. This prevents the ugly build up of car and other waxes in the dimples around your aircrafts rivets.

In the hot desert sun of the Mojave, you can expect our finish to last well over a year, so you can be assured it can master the hot Texas sun. This product is to be used only on a clean, dry, deoxidized, wax free surface for best results and maximum adhesion.

Gary,
She looks great. I can't remember when  NXXM looked that nice. The belly looks great.
I prefer the PTFE  to wax. And, I like the ease of cleaning the big Texas sized bugs off of the PTFE.
I hope you're ready to get busy, because I'll be posting a big thumbs up on a couple of internet forums.
My best,
L. S.

Underside treatment:
Our Belly Sealant is a one-step blend of our De-Ox Cleaner and our PTFE Sealant. This product will offer 12 months of protection on all "under" surfaces. Being that it is a mixture of the two products, a thinner layer of PTFE will actually cure to the surface.

 This being the case, it should not be used on surfaces exposed to UV rays. When used on top surfaces that are exposed to UV, you can expect the finish to last approximately 6 months

WINDOWS:
Our preference of products for cleaning Plexiglas, Lucite, Lexan or Acrylite windows is Plexus "anti-static" Cleaner, Protectant & Polish. Though all plastic polishes tend to streak and smear, Plexus leaves the least noticeable residues behind and offers the highest in clarity.

BRITE-WORK:
For those of you that have polished spinners and/or propellers etc. we use Nuvite Aluminum Polish to give you the "closest to chrome" finish you'll ever see anywhere. No other product even comes close to the finish we achieve with Nuvite!

RUBBER TREATMENT:
No job is completed until we've cleaned and treated your Tires, Rubber Seals and Deice Boots. For this task we use Wing Waxers "silicon free" Rubber Lubricant & Protectant to bring back the rich black color and reduce the deterioration. This product serves well for the finishing touch of the aircraft. It is extremely effective at bringing out the rich black luster of tires, de-ice boots and rubber trim. Aside from the attractive and finished appearance it gives the aircraft, it also lubricates the rubber and greatly decreases the dry rot of rubber. Its uses don't stop there; this product also works very well on the plastic of instrument panels, vinyl panels and seats, vinyl or plastic headliners and leather upholstery.
