Technical polishing
Cutting, refining and mirror finish with an orbital polisher.Restores deep shine and paint uniformity.
Who it is for
Aircraft with dull paint, acid rain marks, holograms or light scratches in the clear coat.
There is no magic here: there is technique, effort and respect for the machine. Polishing happens in three stages, and none of them can be skipped.
I start with the orbital polisher, using a lollipop pad and a solvent-based compound for the first cut, which cleans the surface and prepares the material. Then comes the refining stage, adjusting every detail. Finally the mirror finish, which is wax polishing, bringing out the shine you know.
This is not just practice. It is more than 40 years studying, testing, failing and getting it right, learning every single day.
What is included
- Paint condition assessment before starting
- Cutting stage with orbital polisher, lollipop pad and solvent-based compound
- Refining to remove the marks left by the cutting stage
- Wax mirror finish
- Before and after record
What I do not do
- Repainting or paint touch-up, which is certified shop work
- Structural corrosion treatment. The surface is treated and any finding is reported to the mechanic
- Propeller blade polishing, which removes material and belongs to a certified shop
How often
Aircraft I service regularly go through polishing every six months.
