Wash the plane with clean water.
Clean the belly and greasy parts with GoJo hand cleaner then rinse with clean water. It won't hurt the paint. Do the rest of the plane with WashWax All and that's it. "Jim Burns" wrote in message ... Spring is almost here (ok, I probably just jinxed it) and we're wanting to really clean up the Aztec before applying a good base coat of wax for the summer. We've got a little oxidation and some fuel streaking, but mostly just hanger dust, belly oil, runway grime, tire, brake, and exhaust dust to clean off. I've successfully used TurtleWax polish to remove some very minor chafes and scratches, I think it will work fine for the oxidation, but first I need to get the paint deep down clean. Many people have suggested WashWax ALL for the initial wash job, but I don't want to leave a residue of wax behind, I just want the paint clean so I can polish it. I definitely need to get all the dirt and foreign particles off. I'm wondering what products and procedures other people are using for a very thorough washing, polishing, waxing. Any hints tips or suggestions are appreciated. Jim |

Actually if it's just bugs and the rest of the plane isn't too
bad I have a spray bottle of clear water I spray on the leading edges first and towel off. Then I use the Wash Wax All. "Dude" wrote in message ...
