New Client - My Favorite Area of Detailing - 30 Million Dollar Jet!

[Bates Detailing]

I LOVE detailing aircraft! Worked on this one tonight :dblthumb2:.....

When detailing mega-expensive airplanes like this one, did you get special insurance or attach a rider to an existing policy? I'm sure not many detailers carry or can afford $30 million coverage.

To be insured for aircraft of this caliber one needs around a 5,000,000 dollar plan - which runs around 1,000 a month give or take. We are insured for 2 mil but all aircraft clients we have on account know that I am very knowledgeable in detailing aircraft and have been detailing aircraft for over 14 years now. I used to be a partner in an aircraft detailing company that had 6 locations around the U.S. Hopefully we can get back into it hardcore and exceed that within the next couple of years with B & B.

Wow...amazing.
You seem to be precariously balanced in a three point position, mf under knee for ease of movement...it must be challenging to remove lsp on the downhill side of the wings curvature.

LOL - yeah man, these birds can be a big project for sure - I still find them easier than cars though lol.

Yes and no - I prefer to use aviation approved products - but it is up to the client. I play it safe I guess.

Thanks man - hoping to be able to polish the bright work soon.... has alot of water spots in it.

You may have already thought of this Anthony, but just in case...you're up pretty high you know...

Go to Wal-Mart and go to the department where the kitchen table mats and such are. There you'll find rolls of see-thru mesh, rubbery type material that is used in cabinets to place your dishes on. They use a lot of it in motorhomes too. It really grips stuff real good.

Get several, or cut several, pieces of this material to place under foot, under your knee, or as a place to put your hand when you're up high on those wings. I can see that stuff really aiding you and keeping you from slipping. Best of all, it won't marr the finish and grips like glue.

Of course, you're probably already aware of what I'm refering to and probably already use it, or even have a better idea.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
