Glass, inside and out
Windshield and cabin windows cleaned with glass products chosen for aircraft, so crew and passengers get a clear view.
33 / 7
Wheels and landing gear
Wheels, struts and gear doors cleaned of brake dust and grease.

Cabin detail
Vacuuming, carpet care, leather and hard surfaces, interior glass, and a full wipe-down. Carpet extraction and leather treatment are available as add-ons.

Wing and tail leading edges collect the most grime in flight. They get their own pass on every exterior detail and every program visit.

Engine cowls and inlets
Cowls and inlets are washed and wiped down by hand with the rest of the airframe. This is cleaning only. Aero Spa does not machine polish.

What owners say
Every review here came from an owner or operator Aero Spa has worked for. Nothing is invented and nothing is paraphrased.
Jack with Aero Spa did an absolutely phenomenal job detailing our Cessna 152, Yellowbird (N105UC). I honestly didn’t know the aircraft could sparkle like this—or that the windows could be so incredibly clear and reflective! Jack was professional, meticulous, and clearly took great pride in his work. Every detail was beautifully done, and Yellowbird looked truly show-ready when he finished.
We were preparing the aircraft for a major airport event, and Aero Spa helped make Yellowbird look her absolute best. I would highly recommend Jack and Aero Spa to any aircraft owner or operator looking for exceptional, professional detailing.

Jack Kennedy with Aero Spa did an awesome job detailing my Citation CJ2. He dry washed the exterior and shampooed the carpets with a drill agitator attachment. He made the plane shine like heaven is divine.
Jack arrived with a professional van and was prepared to do the job right. He was thorough and professional. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for quality aircraft detailing.

These guys did a great job on my debonair. Great pricing and very professional. On time when they stated they would be there and did an exceptional job.
