Special request: ceramic coating
Ceramic coating is not part of the regular service list. It is quoted case by case, after we inspect your aircraft’s condition. Once it is priced, the aircraft needs to be in a hangar for 3 days for cleaning, prep, application and curing. Mention it in the quote form and we will set up the inspection.

How a job runs
Every job, step by step
A written work order follows the aircraft from walkaround to hand-off, so nothing is assumed and nothing is missed.

Questions
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form on this page, call 803.552.5393, or email info@correctivemeasuresllc.com. The aircraft type, where it is based and the services you want are enough to start.
Can you wet wash my aircraft at my airport?
That depends on the FBO. Wet-wash rules and runoff requirements vary a lot from location to location, so a wet wash has to be cleared with the FBO, by the aircraft’s crew or by you, before you request service. If the FBO doesn’t allow it, we can do a dry or waterless wash and any of the other services.
Do you offer ceramic coating?
Yes, as a special request that we quote case by case. We inspect the aircraft’s condition first, then price it. The coating needs the aircraft in a hangar for 3 days, which covers cleaning, prep, application and curing. Tick the ceramic coating box on the quote request and we will set up the inspection.
What information helps most?
Make and model, the tail number if you’re comfortable sharing it, the airport or FBO, whether the aircraft sits in a hangar or on the ramp, whether a wash rack is available, and any known problem areas.
Where do you work?
We service aircraft within 150 miles of Columbia, SC, at airports and FBOs across South Carolina and parts of North Carolina and Georgia. Find your airfield on the service-area map. If it isn’t listed, ask us: private airstrips and heliports inside the circle can be quoted on request.
Do you detail interiors as well as exteriors?
Yes. Interior services include cockpit detail, carpet and upholstery cleaning, leather care, wood and trim polish, galley and lavatory sanitizing, baggage compartments and odor treatment.
How do you protect sensitive areas?
Before work starts, the crew or FBO covers or plugs pitot tubes, static ports, probes, engine inlets and exhausts, and vents. We check that each one needed for the work is in place and log it, then log its removal at the end. Water is kept away from bearings, seals and electrical connectors.
Will I get a record of the work?
Yes. Each job is recorded on a written work order: the condition photos taken before cleaning, the products used, any items reported to maintenance and the final inspection, signed at hand-off.
