As a young dumb service line kid (19 years old) I learned real quick about the horizontal glare. The pilot took off and was ranting on the mic about it, he then came back around and landed. He was cussing me before he even crawled out the plane. He was an ass anyways and was rushing me the entire time BUT it was definitely a learning experience. I was so glad to see him take off and head home to Michigan or wherever he came from. I must say, out of all the pilots I've dealt with he was one of just a few with an attitude. Seems like pilots typically have a pretty good personality. I guess if you can afford a plane, what can they really be bitter about? Haha. Nice videos brother ! Tho I no longer do it, I love keeping up with it. I still have relationships with a lot of those pilots so I still go up with them from time to time. It will always be a part of me and my life.
I did a number of years in line service and if you didn't do exactly as you suggested, vertical straight up and down swipes, you wouldn't have a job for very long. We used a plastic polish that went on much like car wax and came off the same. It worked well, but always up and down.
Also in the event of a scratch we can see through a vertical scratch easier than horizontally. Also NEVER swirl on plexi. I always used Meguiars SctatchX heavily to fill any microscratches on my plane. I let hit haze like crazy then buff vertically with my microfiber. The stuff works great for aircraft plexiglass and I may or may not be responsible for hooking my entire airport on it.... and the answer to your question is it's called a Spinner! Love your videos!
thanks Jeremy..yes aircraft detailing is a totally different animal than detailing a car for sure..when it comes to cleaning the windshield many pilots over the years have opened my eyes and will tell you all you need to know:)..thanks for your support and kind words...Spinner, thats it!!..thanks
Wow! You detail planes too!? We'll probably see some videos on boats or dump trucks next. Your outstanding Scott! Truly one of the coolest guys I've had the pleasure of knowing.
You also want to have all potential scratches going in the same direction. Windscreens (windshield) are typically made of acrylic and if something were to happen to that windscreen to where it was unusable, its not like they can call up safelight and have them replace it like they have them laying around in a warehouse somewhere. They are custom made and very expensive to manufacture and install, as is everything else on a plane. Insurance is a must for aviation detailing and insurance is very expensive as well. so aviation detailing is not for everyone and you mess up one thing on a plane and it could potentially end your business without insurance.
nuvite and a buffer will make that spinner like bumper chrome haha! seriously loving the aircraft vids super stoked, btw you are about to blow up, no one else in the aircraft industry is putting videos like this out there. you can be set for life if you get yourself a contract with one of these flight departments in DFW, how does cleaning a private jet after every trip sound? forget cars altogether your life is gonna change I bet you a million!
also another tip Scott, if you clean it in circular motions that also is a no-no. causes the same swirl marks as in paint and also decreases visibility when the sun hits the planes windshield.
Scott, You are the master. Outstanding work on the airplane vids. I am in process of restoring my velocity. Perfect timing on your part. Please keep the videos comming. I have the air powered DA by Camp. Haus. Ready to go.
Thanks for the video helps a lot im thinking about getting into aircraft detailing. Looking for the best stuff to use to shine paint, chrome leading edges and windows.
I certainly would not use armorall glass cleaner (even if it ammonia free) > Cleaning soft perspex or plexiglass craft window nor would I polish it...A pro should know all about the material they are cleaning first and foremost. Glad they paid you...
A few years after your comment but yes we only use plexus on our plexiglass windshields in the direction of flight. Also use micro fiber towels without the tags on them.
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months =)
I have a Cessna 150 that could use a detail in Greenville, TX, about an hour east of McKinney. What would be your trip charge and a rough estimate on the price for the detail. Not sure if you've ever done a 150 but it's about half the size of the 206 in the video.
my website is listed below all my videos and you can find my number and call me..yes i can travel to greenville for that service..i would be happy to give you an estimate by phone..thank you
I’m detailing my first plane on Thursday for a guy who I’ve done his cars for a while. I’ve been doing some research and am feeling good about it. Just nervous about the windshields from everything I’ve read. What armorall product are you using or do you recommend to clean the windshield with? Thanks
@@hansashbaugh4014 I have a few old timers who've been flying for over 50 years at my local airport. They ALL i Use pledge on their windshields. They always use a brand New microfiber cloth(s) and a can of lemon pledge. Have been doing that since 70's with no issues ever, and their windshields look great!
Congrats on 19k subs. 50k then 100k are right around the corner. And for the douche nozzles out there who complain about your videos being too long, this is a auto DETAILing channel, not an auto GISTing channel. It's DETAILED. And no one who owns an airstrip, a $350k plane or a $350k RV would never use a hack or someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Keep making your vids and we'll keep watching. Love it!! And as a 2nd career you can do stand-up as Ray Romano.
4G12 on boats a dirty hull will drag it down enough to where it won’t plane out but just plow thru the water. There is something to keeping them clean :)
FAA even has literature concerning auto detailers converting to cleaning planes as planes are a different animal entirely. Also, your chemicals need to be FAA approved. Watch out for pitot tubes and static ports as well as deicing elements that exist on the leading edges of wings. Clog those things up or get a lot of fluid in them and you might be responsible for the death of whoever is riding in that plane when the equipment fails due to poor knowledge of aviation detailing.
Hey you missed a few hairs between your knuckles when you trimmed your hairy hands, and by the way.... you only use Plexus or similar plastic polish on plexiglass windshields...... just say'n Now trim the rest of them knuckle hairs

Spinner...the “cone thing”; acrylic/plexiglass, the windshield material - good tip about only vertical lines on windshield, thanks!

Scott, the description for the silver cone is Spinner.
Great series of vids tonight. Thanks for the effort to document it. Kudos sir

Great videos Scott. I may have to go to the local airport and leave some cards now. Would plexus work on aircraft windows? Thanks again!
A few years after your comment but yes we only use plexus on our plexiglass windshields in the direction of flight. Also use micro fiber towels without the tags on them.
Do you have any more videos on detailing airplanes or washing them
This dude is awesome
Hey I have a question so if you have stain wax on your car you can use dish soap to remove it ?
yep yep! always clean in direction of wind!
One thing to note, That stuff scratches very easily .
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months =)
@Isaac Baylor Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
Sir,
Which pressure washer did you use?
How much pressure in bars?
Thanks. Nice hand btw.
Horizontal Streak can be confused with horizon line

Scott it's called a prop spinner or just a spinner
cool..thanks for the info:)

Jordan Day , don’t ! use Armorall on the windshield/plexiglass.....use Prist Windshield cleaner or certain Plexus products.

Dear Scott your fans want from you to see you detailing interior and exterior....on a Boeing Jumbo jet 747
Looks sharp !
18+ joke @1:04
A few extra knots of speed after detailing? Better start detailing my car for those precious extra mph and mpgs...

Extra 4 to 5 knot's my ass.....
pexiglass
Your logic of why (streaks) is wrong. Sigh.
