This is my second aircraft detail. I detailed it to be displayed at the Planes of Fame air show this weekend, May15-May 16 , 2004, in Chino , Ca. ------

I love classic air planes as much as I love classic cars and this one was a joy to detail.
This one is a beechcraft stagger-wing. This paticular craft was made in 1946.
I discovered there is an acceptable practice at the airport of "dry washing" or "rag wrenching" aircraft clean. This practice usually means wiping the aircraft with a damp rag to get it clean. Although not a bad idea for flat or simi-flat military paint jobs, this way of cleaning aircraft with shiney paint could leave micro maring (tiny scratches) in the paint as seen in the pics below.
