Ceramic coating for aircraft

By , Editor · Updated

On an aircraft a coating keeps bugs, exhaust stains and grime from bonding to the paint, so washes are quicker and the finish holds its gloss. Owners and operators also use it on leading edges and belly panels, where cleaning takes the most time.

Aircraft work happens at the hangar or on the ramp, so most aviation detailers are mobile and work at the airport. Check that the products used are approved for your aircraft's paint and surfaces, and that the detailer carries insurance for working on aircraft.

Common questions

Is ceramic coating safe for aircraft paint?

Coatings sold for aviation use are made for it. Ask which product the detailer uses, and check it against your paint system and any manufacturer guidance before work starts.

Where is the work done?

Usually at your hangar or on the ramp. Most aviation detailers come to the airport, so ask about access, insurance and how long the aircraft needs to stay out of service while the coating cures.
