CAVU Aircraft Detailing

CAVU Aircraft Detailing is an aircraft detailing company founded in Chicago. It serves the Chicago area and the surrounding region, including Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio. The company says its team has more than 50 years of combined aviation experience.

For exterior work, CAVU offers dry wash on the ramp or inside a hangar. The company says its dry wash produces no runoff. It also offers a mobile wet wash with a filtration system, which supports airport and environmental guidelines. Its technicians use spray on products made for aircraft surfaces. Routine exterior cleaning and full aircraft polishing are also offered.

A post flight service targets high visibility areas, bugs and residue, for quick turns between flights. The full dry wash covers the tail, landing gear, underside of the wings and the belly, using FAA approved chemicals. The wet wash tapes and covers gears, ports and sensitive openings before washing.

The basic interior detail covers removal of waste from the cabin and flight deck, wipe down of high touch areas, cleaning of the lavatory, streak free windows, and vacuuming of the cabin. Aircraft stairs are also cleaned. Electrostatic disinfection covers the cabin, cargo areas and flight deck, followed by a 90 day protective coating.

Leather work includes a deep clean with an FAA approved leather cleaner and conditioner. Leather restoration matches the color to the original finish and fills cracks and scuffs. Carpet work includes a steam loosening step and extraction, with a dry carpet option for sensitive fabrics or fast turnarounds. The company also repairs scratches in woodwork and treats ink stains.

CAVU says it is available day or night. Customers can request a quote and schedule work through the website.
