Beware Super Clean

Super Clean will corrode aluminum.

I take a couple of cloths, soak them in water, and lay them on the
area to be cleaned for a few minutes. Softens up the bugs. If you do
use somthing other than water, wash it well afterward, which is hard
to do as few of our hangars have spigots.

Best thing I've seen for clean is a Hotsy. Gas heated water. Works
great.

Has anyone everseen a car style pressure washer at an airport

I saw one being used by the owner, but it wasn't provided by the airport. The
aircraft was a Cessna, and the owner said he only used the washer with low pressure
to apply the soapy water. He did the actual scrubbing by hand.

In Tennessee, it's evangelism.

I think someone posted here a couple of weeks ago that the delta between
enough-pressure-to-remove-the-dirt and enough-pressure-to-remove-the-paint was
small. Having had a couple of non-aviation mishaps with my portable pressure
washer, I can believe it.

Ditto. I've used a pressure washer to clean my deck. It only takes a
few seconds of lingering to splinter the wood. There is no way I
would use something that abrasive on my plane.
