Large aircraft exterior "DEEP Cleaning/Polishing" sorely needs to be recognized as a safe, reliable, cost efficient and dependable method of keeping the EXTERIOR of commercial aircraft clean & smooth by using simple, standardized methods, equipment & techniques. There are many benefits, with the most immediate being, a very clean, sharp looking aircraft, (enhancing corporate image), increased exterior surface longevity, decreased exterior corrosion/erosion & most important of all, notable improved fuel efficiency & fuel savings. A PROPER "DEEP" clean, done at least annually, will drastically reduce the labour time & frequency of any subsequent routine exterior "washing". There will also be reductions in the amounts and strengths of surface cleaning agents. This all provides for extremely quick "return to service". All this also contributes to the added advantage of reducing your "Carbon Footprint". To read more on this subject, please click here to view Lord Bart-Jan Mathot of Loch Leven & Glencoe's
