Vlog 006 - Piper PA-46 Malibu Mirage Ceramic Coating - Follow up on previously coated aircraft

[@rufusprime99]

Dude, your eyes and attention to detail is amazing.

[@rollingacresfarmstead206]

as the old saying goes "work smart, not hard"👍 my shoulders hurt watching you use that buffer while on the creeper due to a bad rotator cuff

[@AvianaAircraft]

Yea it helps to do this every week.

[@alangrant9558]

Just a few questions: 1. What do you use to waterless wash the plane (what are you spraying and wiping it down with)? 2. Do you need to use a rotary buffer or can you do it by hand? 3. What ceramic coating do you use? 4. Easiest chemical to get bottom oil and soot off? 5. What would you charge for full wash and ceramic coat for something like a 172? And thanks for answering!!!

[@drrev2000]

I clean aircraft, I use Detro Clean to remove the Lead exhaust streaks on the bottom, it also removes the paste that forms with dirt, exhaust and 5606 hydraulic fluid and oil leaks.

[@JamesHallick]

Did you ever come out with the cleaner for the bottom of the Malibu? Just did mine by hand and could use some of that chemistry help!

[@christianjforbes]

Being Chemically Smart That's good advice

[@AvianaAircraft]

Thanks for watching!

[@jdhchi]

Great video and incredible results! Just found your channel...do you have any recommendations for cleaning and removing scratches from aircraft Plexiglas? If so, do you cover this in one of your videos?

[@AvianaAircraft]

I don't have any videos on the subject at the moment.. but that could change. On pressurized aircraft you need to be a bit more careful as you don't want to remove too much thickness. On non-pressurized aircraft you can machine polish with something like Meguiars M105 and M205 and a foam pad. Make sure to not wax with petroleum based products as that will affect the acrylic

[@drrev2000]

The product is not new but its tried and true, find a technician to use Micro-Mesh plastic sanding kits, You start with heavy grades and work your way up to polishing compounds. If the scratching is too deep, window replacement is all you can do.

[@davidc5657]

Great work! You said your rinse is just water with some polymers. What are your thoughts on using distilled water or RO water to TDS spotting? I was thinking about it but a plumber friend mentioned the corrosiveness of RO water on copper fixtures. I'm guessing the chemist knows the quick answer? Thanks.

[@AvianaAircraft]

A great question, because RO water has no minerals whatsoever, it it is really eager to start dissolving stuff, such as water pipes. Normal water already having minerals dissolved, is not as corrosive because it has a lowered ability to dissolve additional solutes. That said, when you mix it with no rinse, you’re adding solutes to the RO water so it won’t be the same as pure RO.

[@tubesgu34]

What was the mix of the soot cleaner? That is tough to get off

[@AvianaAircraft]

New product were working on. Still working on some validation and safety testing. Should be available Q1 2019

[@NikosPer]

is it Nitric acid? or Oxalic acid based?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Nikos Perantinidis no, I suppose that could work. But would be worried about oxidation on aluminum

[@ScubaMikeJohnson]

Aviana Aircraft Detailing Have you come up with the new belly cleaner?

[@ericduberman4758]

I too will buy gobs of your belly cleaner once available. I currently use a fume free oven cleaner. Spray foam on, leave for 30 minutes then wipe off with paper towels. Wear eye protection and a surgical mask when you spray it on.

[@theafricanflyer]

Very nice

[@jsh1257]

What coating system are you using?

[@AvianaAircraft]

jsh1257 we typically default to Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra.

[@ralphdiaco7084]

Just came across your videos, nice job. Would you come to New Jersey? I have a 182.

[@AvianaAircraft]

Ralph Diaco sure. I go nationwide. Just did a C210 in Nashville.

[@ralphdiaco7084]

Great. Here is my email [e-mail] please send me your contact info so we can set this up.

[@carlosbaxter1017]

Where can I buy that seat?

[@abrahamnemani3907]

If I may ask what is the leather coding in the syringe that you used on the seats? Do you sell it or can it purchased online?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Optimum Leather Guard opticoat.com/page/opti-guard-leather They only sell that to authorized installers unfortunately. Where are you located?

[@thefireman285]

303 works excellent.

[@abrahamnemani3907]

@@AvianaAircraft I live in New Jersey. Any idea where or when this can be available for the public in near future?

[@AvianaAircraft]

@@abrahamnemani3907 The leather coating has been around for a while, but the manufacturer doesn't sell it direct to the public. There are auto detailers that use it as well though, let me see if I can find someone who carries it near you and maybe they can install it for you. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@AvianaAircraft]

@@thefireman285 303 is a great product, especially for protecting plastic trim in high UV areas, but for leather seats there are better options out there to protect against wear and staining

[@derick9210]

What kind of tool is at 7:07

[@AvianaAircraft]

Derick Andrade Milwaukee M18 cordless rotary

[@Jjimmythetulip]

Will you sell me the chemical you used on the polished portion of the belly of the fuselage

[@AvianaAircraft]

James Franks once we fully determine safety, yes!

[@Jjimmythetulip]

Ok. Let me know.

[@paulstefanko1107]

@@AvianaAircraft what products do you use ?

[@brandontyson7805]

How many milliliters of Crystal Serum did you use to coat this aircraft?

[@AvianaAircraft]

generally 100-150ml

[@israelkozlik7554]

What typically is the cost to detail and coat a Malibu?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Starting at $3500 depending on condition. Travel is extra if I come to you.

[@cloudstreets1396]

The owners are going to come in and wonder how their airplanes magically cleaned themselves.

[@AvianaAircraft]

haha, those planes all get detailed before they are handed back :)
