Do you love airplanes and want to start an airplane wash service? I can’t blame you since I did the same. After cleaning thousands of airplanes over the years, I paid for my flight school, first airplanes and then started an airplane wash franchise as a module of another franchise company that I had founded. Named Aircraft Wash Guys, we learned early on what it takes to satisfy aircraft owners, fixed FBO operators, and chief pilots. We always specialize in aircraft washing and polishing. We have cleaned thousands of private jets, corporate jets, flight clubs, flight schools, and helicopters. My Car Wash Guys company was originally founded over twenty years ago and started out as an aircraft wash service.

As you know, people in aviation are serious about flying, and a clean airplane makes flying more fun and enjoyable. Corporate flyers need you to maintain a positive image. When you are in the airplane washing business, you will not only wash the exterior of airplanes, you must also have the ability to clean carpets. Many of our crew members are also private pilots and it is worth having pilots as part of your employee team. For more information on airplane washing, I’ve put some additional ideas online to help you.

We have always kept our prices low and opted for volume, you may want to do this or charge the current fee. Our rates are at the lower end of the spectrum and this will give you a good starting point for pricing.

You must perform these services on the client’s schedule and usually accommodate them, immediate services, day or night, afternoons and weekends. Customizing your services with customer requirements should become your specialty. You will also need the following:

Owning a small aircraft wash service business can be quite rewarding, and while it’s hard work, it can be an extension of your love of flying. Just think about getting paid to wash some of the latest and greatest airplanes and hang out at the airport all day? And yes, they will even pay you handsomely for doing just that. Think about this.
