Why Choose Jetstream Metal Polish Products from Airpart Supply?

Professional Metal Restoration & Mirror Finish Achievement

• Skai Metal Polish Heavy-Duty Restoration: Specifically formulated to restore bare aluminum and stainless steel to mirror image finish. Removes oxidation, tarnish, and corrosion from neglected metal surfaces.
• Fast Cutting Action: Non-abrasive formulation cuts through oxidation quickly without damaging base metal. Significantly reduces polishing time compared to traditional compounds requiring multiple steps.
• Quick Clearing Formula: Skai Metal Polish clears quickly under buffer, eliminating residue buildup common with traditional metal polishes. Reduces buffing time and allows faster progress across large surfaces.
• No Sling Design: When used properly, Skai makes very little mess and will not sling product over aircraft. Reduces cleanup time and prevents product waste. Critical for polishing operations on Cessna, Piper, and other painted aircraft with polished components.
• Economical Usage: Concentrated formulation requires less product per application than traditional metal polishes. 1Lb tin covers substantial surface area, reducing cost per polishing operation.

Versatile Application Capabilities

• Multiple Surface Compatibility: Skai Metal Polish works on aluminum, stainless steel, and is safe for use on aircraft paint for removing heavy oxidation and stains. One product serves multiple restoration needs.
• Comprehensive Component Coverage: Ideal for polishing aircraft leading edges, propeller spinners, engine inlets, thrust reversers, bare aluminum skins, landing gear components, and all brightwork.
• Commercial Aviation Approved: Meets Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and AMS approvals. Suitable for use on commercial aircraft, business jets, and general aviation aircraft.
• Hand or Machine Application: Can be applied by hand for detail work or with rotary/dual-action machine polishers for large surfaces. Flexibility accommodates different aircraft sizes and polishing requirements.

Advanced Protection & Oxidation Prevention

Metal polish products provide long-term protection after restoration:

• Built-In Oxidation Resistance: Surfaces treated with Skai Metal Polish are protected and resistant to oxidation. Extends time between polishing cycles compared to unprotected metal.
• Mirror Image Sealing Technology: Contains specialized agents that seal polished metal surfaces. Creates protective barrier preventing environmental contamination and corrosion.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Mirror Image formulation includes corrosion inhibitors providing active protection against moisture and environmental factors causing metal degradation.
• Anti-Oxidation Agents: Long-lasting protection from anti-oxidation agents keeps metal surfaces bright longer. Reduces maintenance frequency for aircraft operating in corrosive coastal or industrial environments.
• 100% Protection Coverage: Mirror Image produces complete protective coverage while sealing polished metal. Ensures uniform protection across entire polished surface.

Professional Finishing & Swirl Removal

Mirror Image provides essential final finishing capabilities:

• Swirl Mark Elimination: Specifically designed to remove swirls in polished metal caused by machine buffing. Essential for achieving perfect mirror finish after machine polishing with Skai Metal Polish.
• Light Maintenance Polish: Can be used between major polishing jobs to maintain mirror finish. Quick application keeps brightwork looking freshly polished without complete restoration process.
• Professional Final Step: Mirror Image serves as final step in complete metal polishing process. Apply after Skai Metal Polish to remove any micro-scratches and seal surface.
• Show Aircraft Quality: Achieves show-quality mirror finish on polished aluminum aircraft. Essential for corporate aircraft, charter operations, and aircraft maintained for airshows or display.

Environmental & Safety Considerations

Skai Metal Polish offers significant environmental and safety advantages:

• Biodegradable Formulation: Biodegradable chemistry reduces environmental impact. Safe for use in facilities with environmental restrictions on chemical products.
• Non-Hazardous Classification: Product classified as non-hazardous, simplifying storage, handling, and disposal requirements. Reduces regulatory compliance burden for maintenance facilities.
• Non-Flammable Properties: Non-flammable formulation improves workplace safety. Can be stored and used near ignition sources with reduced fire risk compared to solvent-based polishes.
• Reduced VOC Emissions: Water-based formulation eliminates volatile organic compound emissions common with traditional metal polishes. Improves air quality in enclosed work environments.

Professional-Grade Application Tools

Quality tools are essential for achieving professional metal polishing results:

• 100% Virgin Wool Buffing Pads: Premium 1-1/2 inch pile wool provides aggressive cutting action for Skai Metal Polish application. Quick cutting reduces polishing time on large surfaces.
• Even Wear Characteristics: Wool pads wear evenly, maintaining consistent polishing performance throughout pad life. Delivers smooth, uniform finish without streaking.
• Microfiber Applicators for Final Steps: Soft microfiber construction perfect for applying Mirror Image by hand. Non-abrasive material will not introduce new scratches during final finishing.
• Reusable Tool Design: Both wool buffing pads and microfiber applicators can be washed and reused multiple times. Reduces consumable costs for fleet operators maintaining multiple polished aircraft.
• Professional Quality Standards: Aviation-specific tools designed for higher quality standards than automotive polishing products. Deliver results expected in commercial and corporate aviation environments.

Application Guidelines & Best Practices:

• Skai Metal Polish Machine Application: Apply small amount to wool buffing pad. Use rotary or dual-action polisher at medium speed (1500-2000 RPM). Work in overlapping passes. Product cuts quickly and clears fast. Wipe residue with clean microfiber towel. For heavy oxidation, may require multiple passes.
• Skai Metal Polish Hand Application: Apply small amount to microfiber applicator. Work in circular motions using moderate pressure. Product will cut through oxidation even with hand application. Buff with clean towel. Ideal for detail work on spinners, leading edges, and small components.
• Mirror Image Application: After polishing with Skai Metal Polish, apply small amount of Mirror Image with clean microfiber applicator. Work in straight lines with light pressure. Product removes swirl marks and seals surface. Buff to high shine with clean towel. Reapply between major polishing for maintenance.
• Proper Technique: Use controlled amounts of product to prevent sling. Keep pad or applicator moving to prevent heat buildup. Work in sections, completing each area before moving to next. Maintain consistent pressure for uniform finish.
• Tool Maintenance: Clean wool buffing pads frequently during use by holding against spinning pad spur. Wash in warm water with mild detergent after use. Allow to dry completely before storage. Wash microfiber applicators similarly.

Complete Metal Polishing Program: For best results, establish systematic approach:

• Initial Restoration: For heavily oxidized or neglected aluminum, start with thorough wet wash to remove surface contamination. Apply Skai Metal Polish with machine polisher to remove oxidation. Follow with Mirror Image to remove swirls and seal surface.
• Regular Maintenance: Between major polishing sessions, use Mirror Image as light maintenance polish. Quick hand application keeps brightwork looking fresh. Every 6-12 months depending on environment, complete full Skai Metal Polish restoration.
• Environmental Adjustments: Aircraft in coastal areas (salt exposure) or industrial environments require more frequent polishing than aircraft in dry climates. Outdoor storage accelerates oxidation compared to hangar storage.
• Protection Enhancement: After polishing, consider applying ACF-50 corrosion protection to internal metal areas and hard-to-reach components for additional protection.
