As many of you will know all too well, cleaning your aircraft, bike or car can be a messy and labor intensive business, especially in summer when the bugs are out in force. A few months ago we posted an article about one of our sponsors, Plane Perfect, and their line of premium aircraft detailing products (click HERE), and how effective this up-and-coming company’s technology is at cleaning, preserving and protecting the paint finishes on your prized aircraft. There has been a lot of positive reaction to Plane Perfect and their products, and following their recent outing to Oshkosh AirVenture, we thought we’d check back in with them to see how things are progressing.
We talked to Plane Perfect’s Chris Thomsen to see how his company’s aircraft cleaning and paint protection products were received by the crowds, and he was positively brimming with excitement about the attention they had garnered.
Oshkosh was great! We sold a ton of ‘show specials’, which this year was our Essentials Pack (all of our sprays and 12 premium microfiber towels) coupled with a free Starter Pack (Wing Wipe and Eyes Outside and another 12 towels) for $99.95. This was a $40 value for free.
We also heard from numerous current clients who stopped by the booth to tell us about their favorite product and how much they love the line. A couple current Warbird guys stopped by to buy additional product, including TBM, SNJ and P-51 drivers. Word is spreading in the Warbird community there is a premium detail supply brand that really works and protects their expensive investments.
The most popular product by far is our Wing Wipe. Warbird and regular clients alike all report that Wing Wipe makes wiping bugs off leading edges so much easier. Using Wing Wipe on the entire plane leaves unparalleled shine and protection.
Sales of our signature product, Perfect Seal and Protect, came on strong at Oshkosh as well. A lot of current customers that love our sprays are now ready to go to the next level with Perfect Seal, laying down 12 months of protection. Perfect Seal and Protect is formulated for the high UV index that aircraft experience. Not only will Perfect Seal and Protect remove light oxidation, it’s nano spec technology bonds with paint and won’t break down until 350 degrees! Using Wing Wipe all year only enhances shine and maintains protection levels.
