OverviewAero Gloss polish is used by 80% of the worlds major airlines. It is now available to the general aviation and experimental aircraft market. Removes turbine soot and exhaust stains from paints. It is an excellent plexiglass polish and can be applied with a power buffer. It takes 1-2 pints and 3-4 hours to polish an average Cessna 182 with Aero Gloss.

Application

The surface should be dry and cool to touch. Newly painted surfaces must be fully cured as recommended by the paint manufacturer. Liberally apply Aero Gloss to a soft, clean, cloth mop or sponge. Evenly spread Aero Gloss on a section of the entire surface. Slightly overlap sections as Aero Gloss is applied. Allow to dry to a haze or indefinitely. Wipe off the haze with a soft polishing cloth, dry mop or buffer.

OverviewThe final color coat applied over fabric in the Ceconite/Randolph system. Available in 50 standard colors. Thin one to one with 9703 Butyrate thinner. One tinned gallon covers approximately 200 sq. ft with one coat.
Note:These samples are an approximate computer representation of the actual color and are to be used for reference only.

OverviewRanthane Aircraft Coatings
Ranthane requires three separate components (which are sold separately, see Options tab) that are mixed before application. All three components are required and cannot be substituted: Ranthane polyurethane paint, AU-2X1 Catalyst, and G-4200 Ranthane Thinner.
Mixing: Mix two parts Ranthane with one part AU-2X1 and stir. Allow to sit for 20 minutes induction time before use.
Thinning: For best results, thin 33%, then spray a vertical surface test area with a moderate coat to insure that the film has no orange peel and is not too runny.

AIR-GLARE PROFESSIONAL AIRCRAFT POLISH is the most technologically advanced aircraft paint polish/sealant ever developed. This is the finest product for your airplane, jet, or helicopter. AIR-GLARE will protect your expensive aircraft paint from UV ray discoloration, engine exhaust, air oxidation, and degradation which is caused by air molecules constantly bombarding the exterior at extremely high speeds. This product will make cleaning your aircraft a shorter, easier task.
AIR-GLARE PROFESSIONAL AIRCRAFT POLISH will reduce the Air-Drag Coefficient of the aircraft which in turn increases maximum air-speed and fuel economy. AIR-GLARE will allow for a much easier de-icing of the aircraft as well as. AIR-GLARE has been tested and approved by BOEING for all PPG Aircraft Paint, and can be used on a wide variety of aircraft paints and materials. AIR-GLARE is also excellent for polycarbonate (maintains optical clarity), glass (including instrumentation glass), Carbon Graphite (including helicopter blades), fiberglass, aircraft aluminum, and all metal alloys.

OverviewPhillips 66 X/C Aviation Oil is an ashless dispersant, multigrade engine oil specially formulated for year-round use in aircraft piston engines. It provides distinct performance benefits compared with single-grade engine oils, including easier starting and faster oil circulation at low temperatures, reduced warm-up time, and reduced oil consumption in most engines. It maintains its film strength under high loads and at high temperatures to protect against wear and piston scuffing. The ashless dispersant formulation helps minimize the formation of engine sludge, varnish, piston deposits and combustion chamber deposits, resulting in a much cleaner engine compared with the use of straight (nondispersant) mineral oils.
X/C Aviation Oil was the first FAA-approved mineral oil-based, ashless dispersant, multiviscosity aviation engine oil. It has more than 30 years of outstanding, proven performance in a wide variety of aviation uses, including flight schools, charter and cargo airlines, acrobatic aircraft, spray planes, race planes and virtually any other general aviation application. It is available throughout the United States and is exported to other countries around the world.
