Shiny Jets & JetGlow Bring Hands-On Aircraft Care to the Mecca of Aviation, AirVenture Oshkosh

Every year, pilots and aircraft owners from around the world gather at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the largest aviation event on the planet. New aircraft are unveiled. New avionics are introduced. Industry leaders set the tone for the future of aviation. This year, something groundbreaking is happening. For the first time ever, aircraft owners will be able to attend a hands-on DIY Aircraft Detailing Class during AirVenture, built specifically for aviation, not adapted from the automotive world. This exclusive collaboration between Shiny Jets and JetGlow Aviation will be held at the JetGlow Hangar at Wittman Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the true Mecca of aviation. And this is not a surface-level seminar. This is real-world aircraft surface preservation training.

Why Aircraft Owners Need This Training

Let’s be honest: most airplanes are washed incorrectly.

• Household soaps that strip protection

• Improper microfiber towels causing micro-marring

• Aggressive polishing that thins paint

• Incorrect metal polishing techniques damaging brightwork

• Ceramic coatings applied without aviation-specific knowledge.

Your airplane is not a car. It lives outdoors. It flies through UV radiation, carbon exhaust, oil residue, hydraulic fluids, and bug acids at high speeds. Improper detailing doesn’t just affect appearance, it reduces paint life, increases corrosion risk, and lowers resale value.

This class changes that.

• Owner-pilots
