Wash your plane without water

By Janice Wood · March 3, 2010 ·

washAero Cosmetics and WashWax.com have introduced their newest waterless aircraft wash product, the Wash Wax Mop. Designed to increase safety by eliminating the need for ladders, the patent-pending Wash Wax Mop also improves efficiency by saving time and reducing use of the Wash Wax All cleaning product, company officials say.

Invented by Brian Phillips, founder of Aero Cosmetics, the Wash Wax Mop adds to the Wash Wax waterless wash system with three discreet parts: an extendable handle or pole, a dual receptacle mop head, and two replaceable micro fiber mop pads. The mop pole comes standard with a reach of three feet to six feet, while long reach versions are available that extend cleaning out as far as 12 feet.

The twin wrap around pads were designed to clean airplanes and helicopters with the Wash Wax All waterless cleaning product without scratching the aircraft. Mounted on either side of the mop head, each pad performs a specific task; one for the “wet step” and one for the “dry step.” Made from specially blended chenille micro fibers, the pads are also washable, company officials note.

Live demonstrations of the Wash Wax Mop and Wash Wax All aircraft cleaner system will be given at the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo (April 13-18) and Oshkosh AirVenture (July 26-August 1).

For more information: WashWax.com or 800 Wash Wax (927-4929).
