Interior

Whether traveling for business or leisure, the comfort and cleanliness of your aircraft reflect the standards of service you wish to convey. At HF1, we are committed to delivering exceptional interior detailing services. Our offerings include comprehensive interior cleaning, fabric protection, and carpet extraction, utilizing only premium cleaning products. Standard carpet cleaning involves thorough vacuuming and spot treatment. HF1 employs specialized extractor and spotter machines to restore the carpet’s original texture and appearance. Interior detailing encompasses seat cleaning and conditioning, organization of galley and lavatory storage, and meticulous cleaning of side panels, headliners, wood surfaces, mirrors, table tops, and windows. The recommended frequency of interior detailing is based on each aircraft’s flight schedule. Regardless of the service selected, HF1’s attention to detail ensures your aircraft maintains a like-new ambiance on every journey.

Exterior

The exterior of your aircraft is a direct reflection of your standards. HF1 recognizes that our work represents both our company and yours, which is why we approach every task with precision and care. Our team offers a full suite of exterior maintenance services, each designed to deliver superior quality and meticulous attention to detail. Dry washing utilizes products that clean and protect the aircraft’s exterior, with all surfaces hand-wiped for a flawless finish. This process effectively removes contaminants such as bugs, dirt, rain marks, carbon, and oil, and should be performed regularly for optimal results. Machine buffing restores the high gloss of exterior paint, while high-quality de-oxidizers remove oxidation and stains, preparing the surface for subsequent treatments. After dry washing or buffing, exterior detailing includes hand waxing or the application of a protective Teflon® sealant. This procedure is recommended once or twice annually, or more frequently depending on flight activity. Additionally, dry washing complies with EPA regulations.

Bright Work

Routine maintenance is essential for preserving the visual appeal and longevity of your aircraft’s brightwork. Service frequency is determined by flight time and conditions, but consistent professional care ensures a mirror-like finish and a new appearance. Maintaining brightwork can be challenging and labor-intensive, especially on leading edges exposed to harsh elements. Specialized professional treatment is crucial to reduce corrosion and enhance appearance. HF1’s expertise, combined with advanced techniques and quality products, guarantees a swirl-free, superior result.

De-Ice Boots

Our De-Ice Boot Treatment Service provides assurance during icy conditions. Boots that are properly cleaned and treated with sealant consistently outperform untreated ones, contributing to the safety of all passengers. The process begins with a cleaning solution to remove oxidation from previous treatments, followed by a thorough wipe-down and application of sealant. This leaves the boots with a glossy, like-new finish, enhancing both performance and appearance.

Leather

Premium aircraft leather seats require careful maintenance. Exposure to dry air at altitude necessitates deep cleaning and conditioning with appropriate products and procedures. When deep cleaning is insufficient to restore the leather, a complete reconditioning is recommended. Improper care can significantly reduce the lifespan of valuable leather. HF1 offers meticulous cleaning and conditioning services for aircraft leather seats, addressing issues such as abnormal wear, surface damage, cuts, scuffs, and stains. Our process restores fine leather upholstery to a like-new condition, ensuring seats remain soft and uncracked, thereby preserving your aircraft’s resale value.
