Animosity2k Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 My airport does not have a hose for me to wash the plane. I'd imagine I am not the first person in this predicament. What is everyones go to for a safe waterless wash solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGLyme Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 3 times I washed the plane in the rain. Brought a couple of 5 gals buckets with water... used my wife's plant based dishwasher soap and a soft brush on a pole... wiped off excess water with a beach towel after washing, pushed back into the hangar, next day I applied this amazing stuff... which I apply on the entire plane including the windshield and windows... it is superb stuff. https://sumnerlabs.com/products.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Gee Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 My hangar does not have water hookup anywhere close to it, but I talked to the airport manager and he very happily let me use a water hookup that they use for watering flowers and bushes. Just had to have a long water hose. Additionally, I will premix composiclean bucket wash in a couple of 1 gallon milk jugs and “spot clean” in between washes.

Madhatter Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I've been using the composiclean spray wax for the last 8 yrs to clean the plane. Doesn't take long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tip Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 This company belongs to Ken Godin. Ken was part of the FDUDA Sales team when I bought my first plane in 2008. Great guy! Great products. https://composiclean.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
