Dry Washing
Dry wash should be considered first whenever possible due to lack of associated environmental concerns and its efficiency and flexibility. Our program meets environmental restrictions at most airports since no water is used. It is approved is approved by all aircraft manufacturers and meets all FAA inspection requirements. It has been stated to improve fuel economy and reduce drag/ friction in addition to reducing the risk of corrosion while prolonging paint life. Removing contaminants (i.e. fuel, oil deposits and salts). The protective wax applied provides a barrier to aircraft and may increase time between the exterior wash cycles.
Wet Washing: Waste water reclamation, Filtration, and Proper Disposal
Our wet wash procedure is completed by highly trained technicians using approved apparatus in designated containment areas per Clean Water Act and Storm Water Regulation Compliance. The process uses minimal water at low pressure and surge rates with approved chemicals and wash devices. The waste water recovered is treated with approved environmentally safe chemicals. AVEX disposes of all affluent after the process is completed.
Wax & Polishing Services
Completed by our trained technicians, this service provides and added layer of wax protection which maximizes the aircraft shine and extends the paint life while removing oxidation.
Brightwork
Completed by our trained technicians, this service provides a mirror finish that gives your aircraft a like-new exterior from the nacelles, leading edges and window trim. This procedure reduces corrosion and helps maintain proper airflow over control surfaces.
Spot Washes
Partial washes are competed with no area or size limitations and include jet-way rash removal, belly clean, lavatory dump areas and APU exhaust area.
A clean aircraft standing on the tarmac sparkling in the sun leaves a better impression than a dingy or dirty plane.
A clean aircraft standing on the tarmac sparkling in the sun leaves a better impression than a dingy or dirty plane. It’s a fact that a clean aircraft operates with better control, lift, and fuel economy. Providing the aircraft with as smooth a surface as possible reduces friction from airflow during flight. Washing and polishing of the aircraft reduces drag, translating to better aerodynamics and greater fuel economy - a very important consideration in the face of rising fuel costs.
