By General Aviation News Staff · May 12, 2015 ·

SAN ANTONIO — Aero Cosmetics has recently been awarded a patent for the company’s waterless aircraft wash product, the Wash Wax Mop.

The Wash Wax Mop is designed to enhance safety by eliminating the need for ladders, while significantly decreasing the time and effort required to clean and wax aircraft, according to company officials.
