01 — The Service What's included

Exterior protection. Cabin immaculate.

Aircraft cleaning demands aviation-approved chemicals that won't damage paintwork, decals, polycarbonate windows or sensitive avionics areas. We use dry wash techniques on painted surfaces, aerospace-grade sealants for UV protection, and hospital-grade sanitisers in the cabin — all with written cleaning records available on request.

  • Dry wash technology — waterless exterior clean protecting fuselage paintwork and decals
  • Wet wash available — full pressure wash system for deep cleaning when required
  • Aerospace-grade wax and sealant — UV-resistant protection coat on paintwork and cowlings
  • Landing gear and wheel well clean — degreased and rinsed using aviation-approved agents
  • Engine cowling exterior clean — soot, exhaust staining and grime removed
  • Windows and windshield polish — acrylic and glass panels cleaned and polished
  • Pre-flight visual clean — quick exterior clean and inspection pass before departure
  • Full cabin sanitisation — hospital-grade products eliminating 99.9% of pathogens on all surfaces
  • Seat and upholstery cleaning — leather conditioned, fabric seats deep cleaned and extracted
  • High-touch surface disinfection — tray tables, armrests, seatbelts, door handles and lavatories
  • Galley and lavatory deep clean — all food preparation and toilet areas sanitised and freshened
  • Carpet and floor cleaning — vacuum, spot clean and extraction as required
  • Air freshening treatment — cabin odour elimination and fresh air conditioning
  • Cleaning certificate provided — written record of procedures, products and areas treated

02 — The visit How it works

Cleared before departure. Cabin ready for passengers.

We work around your flight schedule — early morning pre-flight cleans, turnaround cleans between charter legs, and full detail when the aircraft is on the ground longer.

i

Aircraft details and schedule Initial call

We take your aircraft type, registration, location (airfield or hangar address) and the services required — exterior only, interior only, or full detail. A fixed price and time estimate is provided. For regular contracts, a schedule is agreed upfront.

ii

Airside arrival and setup On the day

We arrive with all specialist cleaning equipment and aviation-approved products. We follow your airfield's ground crew protocols for access, high-visibility requirements and product approval. All chemicals used carry aviation safety compliance documentation.

iii

Exterior cleaned and protected Varies

We use dry wash or wet wash techniques depending on weather, aircraft type and operator preference. Fuselage, cowlings, control surfaces and windows are cleaned. Aerospace-grade sealant is applied to painted surfaces. Landing gear and wheel wells are degreased.

iv

Cabin sanitised and documented Varies

The cabin is cleaned from front to back — galley, lavatory, seating, carpets and all high-touch surfaces. A written cleaning record is available on request for operator compliance files. We clear the area and confirm completion with your ground crew or pilot.

Our Citation gets a pre-charter clean from Exquisite Valet. The cabin and exterior standard is consistently excellent. Passengers have commented on it unprompted. Professional team, understands the aviation environment.

My TBM had not had a proper clean in a season. They did a full interior and exterior — the result was extraordinary. Used the correct products on the paintwork and around the avionics areas. Very knowledgeable team.

We have eight training aircraft that needed interior and exterior cleaning. They managed the whole fleet across two days — consistent standard throughout and all the documentation we needed for the club maintenance file.

05 — FAQ Common questions

Aircraft cleaning FAQs.

Common questions from aircraft owners and operators. Call 0800 208 8885 for a quote.

What cleaning products do you use on aircraft?
We only use aviation-approved cleaning agents that are compatible with aircraft paintwork, decals, polycarbonate and acrylic windows, and rubber seals. We do not use ammonia-based or abrasive products near any aircraft surface. Product data sheets are available on request for operator compliance records.
How long does aircraft cleaning take?
A pre-flight interior and exterior refresh takes 2–3 hours for a light single. A full exterior and interior detail on a midsize jet takes 5–8 hours. We always provide a realistic time estimate before starting so your flight schedule can be planned accordingly.
Do you provide cleaning certificates?
Yes — a written cleaning record is provided covering the date, aircraft registration, services completed, products used and areas treated. This can be retained in your aircraft maintenance records or used for operator compliance documentation.
Can you work at private strips and small airfields?
Yes — we work at private airfields, grass strips, flying clubs, FBO facilities, maintenance hangars and licensed aerodromes. We carry our own equipment and are self-contained for most work. We comply with all local airfield safety protocols.
What is a dry wash and is it safe for aircraft?
A dry wash uses a waterless cleaning agent that lifts dirt and grime from the fuselage without water. It is particularly suitable for aircraft because it produces no wastewater runoff (important at some airfields) and is gentler on decals and painted surfaces. The result is a clean, streak-free finish comparable to a wet wash.
Do you carry out engine cleaning?
We clean the external engine cowlings and nacelles — removing exhaust staining, soot and grime from the exterior surfaces. We do not carry out internal engine cleaning, turbine work or any maintenance within engine bays — this requires certified maintenance technicians and is outside our scope.
