Remove Oxidation and Restore a Mirror Finish

Brightwork is one of the most visible details on a well-maintained aircraft. Exposure to weather, contaminants, and routine operations can leave leading edges and other polished metal looking cloudy or oxidized.

Lavish Lux uses aircraft-appropriate polishing methods to improve the finish of eligible exposed metal. The exact approach depends on the metal, coating, oxidation level, and condition of the surface.

Common brightwork areas

  • Wing and stabilizer leading edges
  • Engine inlets and nacelle brightwork
  • Propeller spinners

Condition-Based Quoting

Oxidation and surface condition can vary significantly from one aircraft to another. Photos, aircraft type, and an in-person inspection help determine the required labor and whether the finish is a good candidate for polishing.

Pair It With Exterior Care

Brightwork polishing is often scheduled with an exterior aircraft detail so painted and metal surfaces are refreshed during the same visit.
