Finally polishing my 75 year old Luscombe! (Act I - the paint)

[@davidyoungman3066]

I was waiting to see this plan shine and you sure did not disappoint. She looks great

[@johngjacobi]

Wow, can’t wait to see it all done. What a difference already!

[@AdamCanFly]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve been a corporate pilot for a long time and have recently decided to start detailing aircraft. From what I’ve seen so far, you do incredible work, and your videos are awesome!

[@AvianaAircraft]

Welcome aboard!

[@TheSoaringChannel]

Mehrdad.... That was sooooo satisfying seeing the before and after as it was happening with a nice background in the reflection to show the work done. That was incredible!

[@AvianaAircraft]

she is so photogenic! Especially on a cloudy day like that

[@AdamCanFly]

I dry washed the King Air today! I didn’t realize how much surface area the airplane actually has! I really appreciate all of the knowledge you share in your videos!

[@pilot_micah]

Any tips on washing/waxing/polishing the exterior of a King Air? Recently took over the management of a 250, kind of learning as I go

[@dougstates]

Thanks for sharing this process. Anxious to see the next step.

[@AvianaAircraft]

You bet! I just started an interior project that is taking a lot of time, but I am excited to continue this as well!

[@dmurray14]

Awesome, and love the plane!

[@AvianaAircraft]

Thanks a lot!

A friend of mine just started his business detailing aircraft. He is talented as a detailer and I look forward to seeing where he goes. I have watched your videos and that of Ammo NYC for a while. Do you have any advise I can pass on to my friend regarding building his business. He does good work but getting aircraft through the door is tough in North and South Dakota, what can he do to help get more customers through the door?

[@budowens6478]

Nice job.

[@rjmc5630]

Thanks for your videos! If you didn't have time to polish, could you use the Gtechniq sealant directly after no-rinse washing?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Yes, absolutely. Check out my latest video on the TBM in Denmark, we go over the process there

[@johnrichards3773]

Nice job

[@AvianaAircraft]

Thanks!

[@jsmann8949]

Hello, I just bought a T-8F and I really want to keep it polished. It's wonderful to watch you work, but it does give me the feeling I should hire a pro like you.

[@AvianaAircraft]

How does it look now? Might be more manageable than you think!

[@jsmann8949]

@@AvianaAircraft on the Facebook Luscombe page, do a search for Mann( that’s me.). My plane will pop up. The skins are all less than two years old, and in good shape, but I want to really shine it up and protect the metal.

[@wec4123]

Can you make a video on how you got started, and grew your business?

[@AvianaAircraft]

I talk about it a bit in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2awiGqVi9VqotU

[@HerschelHorton]

What paint coating are you using? And where do you get it?

[@lancermail]

Your plane is a beauty. A classic design. I searched for the detailing products you mentioned. You may consider adding hyperlinks in the video description if you want affiliate referral credit. what type of ceramic coating did you use? I also enjoyed the background music. Great video.

[@AvianaAircraft]

Funny, just about every detailing video I do has links in them, I just forgot for this one! I'll update the description.

[@jensenfleet7366]

Would you recommend the Nuvite G6 compound over a combination of C and S grade compounds? Looks like the results are very comparable and would save a hell of a lot of time. Thanks for the videos.

[@AvianaAircraft]

Yes, absolutely. Especially if your surface is a bit rougher than what C grade can handle. That said, you can also use a more aggressive pad with C grade instead.

[@hunterbuchanan7591]

How do you clean de-ice boots?

[@AvianaAircraft]

I don't like working on those so not a lot of content on that. I do some here toward the end: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4StfJiJYt2Nmac and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep7NoXuMgpxqhbc

[@hunterbuchanan7591]

@@AvianaAircraft Have you used wash wax all, and if so do you think it’s safe for deice boots?

[@completeturnarounddetailin3536]

i may be polishing a bare c140 soon and was wondering what you protect the polished aluminum with?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Nothing yet! Will be evaluating a few products in the near future though.

[@GlensHangar]

I've got C-FMVU 70% stripped of all the paint... looks like it's going to be polished with a couple of stripes down the side. Any interest in doing a collab? Give me some pointers on the polishing?

[@AvianaAircraft]

Shoot me some pictures and lets see what the old bird needs. www.coatmyplane.com

@@AvianaAircraft Thanks - I'll send some pictures later this week.
