What We Do
Aircraft Detailing Services
Interior and exterior detailing, carpet cleaning, brightwork polishing and ceramic coating for private, corporate and government aircraft.
Interior Detailing
General cleaning, leather and lavatory cleaning.
Carpet Cleaning
Commercial-level carpet extraction, in the aircraft or removed.
Exterior Detailing
Wet and dry wash, deice boot strip and seal, gear well cleaning.
Brightwork Polishing
Leading edge polishing and brightwork protection.
Ceramic Coating
SystemX ceramic coating for long-term paint protection.
Service Lines
Eight lines. Written so they can become CLINs.
Auto detailing and aerial application are other BrightWorks divisions. They are not hiding inside these lines. An aircraft buyer should never have to wonder which company answered.
Exterior wash
Wet or dry, decided by water, weather, and the ramp — not by a menu.
Stops contamination from etching clearcoat between real visits.
Hours
Paint correction
Oxidation, haze, and wash swirls cut and refined. Only where the paint needs it.
The clearcoat you still have. We do not chase a show-car finish through primer.
1–3 days
SystemX ceramic
SiO2 coating, SystemX Max preferred, on paint that has already been corrected.
UV, chemicals, and the grind of ordinary washes. Hydrophobic when it is real.
Several days
Permagard sealant
Reactive polymer for the window that cannot hold a ceramic job.
An honest shorter-term barrier. We will not describe it as ceramic.
Shorter visit
Brightwork
Leading edges, spinners, inlets, vertical stabilizer. Inspect, mask, then cut in stages.
Bare metal after the oxide is gone. Sealed with ceramic, Xzilon X20-18, or Nuvite Skyde Clear.
By condition
Cabin, glass, and boots
Leather and panels, window care, de-ice boot treatment. Cockpit chemicals stay on the list.
The impression, and the boots that crack when they are ignored.
With the exterior, or alone
Carpet cleaning
Commercial-level extraction, with the carpet left in the aircraft or fully removed.
Removal lets the larger equipment do a more thorough job than the cabin allows.
With the interior, or alone
Fleet cadence
The same standard, on a schedule, with photos every visit. For operators, not one-off heroes.
The airplane that otherwise gets washed only when a principal is aboard.
Contract
Paint Protection
Certified in both SystemX Ceramic and Permagard Sealant, BrightWorks has a paint protection solution that suits you.
Standards
What we will not do.
We will not coat oxidation.
A ceramic over dull paint locks the failure in and photographs well for a week. Correction is the job. The coating is what comes after.
We will not spin a buffer near an open port.
Probes, static ports, wicks, windows, and boots are masked before compound moves. If it cannot be masked, it does not get polished.
We will not sell a one-day miracle.
If the window is too short for the system, we say so and do the visit that fits. The rest goes on the next inspection, in writing.
On the Record
“We wanted our Citation cleaned and detailed during our annual. BrightWorks made the time to fit us in last minute and gave us amazing service.”
“As a Part 135 charter operation, our customers expect a certain level of service, and BrightWorks Detailing plays a large role in maintaining our aircraft aesthetics to meet those standards.”
Federal customers have included the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Secret Service.
