Seat & Carpet Shampoo
A deeper clean for cabin seats and carpet than a standard wipe-down and vacuum reach, pulling out ground-in dirt and refreshing the fabric.
What Is Aircraft Detailing?
Aircraft detailing is a maintenance-level cleaning of the interior cabin and the exterior skin, done with products safe for aviation surfaces. It is not paint correction or airframe work, it is the routine care that keeps a plane presentable and protects the finish between hangar visits.
We work around control surfaces, static ports, and pitot tubes with care, and we never use anything corrosive or abrasive on painted or bare metal skin.
Salt air, jet exhaust residue, and long stretches sitting on the tarmac take a toll on a private aircraft's finish. Most owners have no easy way to get that grime off without hauling the plane somewhere or hiring a full aviation detailing crew.
Prestige Marine & Auto Care brings an interior and exterior maintenance detail straight to your hangar or tie-down. No drop-off, no scheduling around a shop's hours.

Why Aircraft Detailing Matters
A private aircraft sitting outside in the Seattle area picks up salt air, rain spotting, and exhaust residue faster than most owners expect. Left alone, that residue etches into paint and upholstery over time and shows up as a drop in resale and appraisal value.
Regular maintenance detailing protects the finish, keeps the cabin presentable for passengers, and catches early staining before it sets in permanently.
