Re: Airplane Detailing at Autogeek - Using a one step cleaner wax
That looks worlds better now. Happy flying!
At Embry Riddle Aero Univ we had a fleet of 310's for multi training. Great twin and a bit "pully" on engine outs. Behaves well on 1 though.

Let’s see if I have the video hosting figured out.

What’s left on the plane, is for me to finish flight training. Send the props off for the AD. Gear rigging and one more Nav/COMM radio. Also finish the paint. So it’s almost there

Thank you! I’ve heard mixed reviews on single engine performance, but if I follow the numbers it shouldn’t be to bad. I might install a VG kit to try and help improve stall speeds. I’m just ready to get it flying to share more progress.

Re: Airplane Detailing at Autogeek - Using a one step cleaner wax
Hi Matt,
Progress is looking good! That's a huge project to tackle all by yourself.
When it comes to the fuel stains, because you're working on single stage paint, the staining is going to be "in" the paint, not just "on" the paint. Compounding will be the only option that will remove what can be removed. Be careful not to go after the staining too hard you may buff all they way through the paint.
Plexiglas looks good!
Most people don't know the difference between Plexiglas and all the other types of plastic on the market and used in various industries. Plexiglas is VERY EASY to buff out. I've never seen Lexan made perfect - too hard.
Keep up the good work!

I’m lucky that my wife is a big help cleaning this plane. I was nervous about the plexiglass, but after buffing I realized how easy it was. I’m going to try and go after the oil stains tomorrow.

Re: Airplane Detailing at Autogeek - Using a one step cleaner wax
Huge improvements made! Nice work. Good for another 5-7 kts of cruise speed too!! (Just kiddin but you are reducing parasitic drag a bit).
I've also wondered if certain LSP's help inhibit light icing.
