Waxing Aircraft Fabric

Another important aspect in keeping an aircraft clean is waxing it. With fabric you have to be careful. Here is how I do it!

Things needed:
(1) Mircofiber
(1) Wax of your choosing
(1) Wax applicator

Step 1
Wash the fabric with soap and water. I just use hot water and some Dawn soap. I also dry the aircraft with microfiber to reduce water spots.

Step 2

Difference between wax and not waxed sufaces

Make sure that the fabric is cool and dry. Also its helps to be in a place that has some shade like a hangar or garage.I use Meguiars GoldClass Carnauba Plus wax and it does a really good job.To apply wax you just get a little wax on your wax applicator and rub in a circular motion on the cleaned fabric. Allow the wax to haze.

Step 3
After the wax hazes begin to remove it with microfiber by rubbing the fabric with a circular motion until the fabric shines. I usually flip the microfiber over and use a clean side for the final swipe.
