Aerodynamic Integrity

For gliders, cleanliness isn't just aesthetic—it's physics. Even microscopic debris disrupts laminar flow, increasing drag and reducing L/D ratios. Our detailing process is engineered to restore the pristine surface needed for optimal flight characteristics.

Pre-Flight Inspection

We begin with a thorough walk-around to identify specific areas of concern, gelcoat condition, and scratch depth.

water_drop

Decontamination Wash

Using pH-neutral, aviation-safe soaps to remove surface grime, followed by a clay bar treatment for embedded contaminants.

Surface Correction

Machine polishing with specialized compounds to level the surface, remove oxidation, and restore aerodynamic smoothness.

Ceramic Sealing

The final touch: a hydrophobic ceramic layer that locks in the shine and protects against UV rays and atmospheric pollutants.


Pilot Testimonials

"The difference in performance is noticeable. After the ceramic coating, bug strikes wipe off effortlessly, and the glider feels slicker in the air. Highly recommended for any competition pilot."
