Large aircraft exterior "DEEP Cleaning/Polishing" truly needs to be recognized as a safe, reliable, cost efficient and dependable method of keeping the EXTERIOR of commercial aircraft clean & smooth by using simple, standardized methods, equipment & techniques. There are many benefits, with the most immediate being, a very clean, sharp looking aircraft, (enhancing corporate image), increased exterior surface longevity, decreased exterior corrosion / erosion & most important of all, notable, improved fuel efficiency & fuel savings (see WHITE paper below). A PROPER "DEEP" clean, done at least annually, will drastically reduce the labor time & frequency of any subsequent routine exterior "washing". There will also be reductions in the amounts & concentration levels of surface cleaning agents. All this provides for extremely quick "return to service". As well, there's the added advantage of reducing your "Carbon Footprint".
