Mike,
 
I am writing you to tell you how pleased we are with the Permaguard application on our Lear 60. Your description of the product before we had you apply it seemed too good to be true. The reality is it's true! I am personally completely satisfied and more importantly, our chairman is completely satisfied.
 
Here are some actual experiences we have had with the aircraft since Permaguard was applied:
 
  • The aircraft had accumulated a covering of dust while in the hangar (we do live in the desert). Before Permaguard we would remove the dust with a dust remover because it would adhere to the paint and would still be dirty after a flight. This time, though, we flew the airplane, the dust blew off, and the airplane looked shiny and clean again.
  • Recently the airplane sat on a ramp in Monterey, CA for two days. The weather was foggy and rainy. When the crew came out to the airplane it was covered with brown spots (like water spots). On the return flight the aircraft flew through a rain cloud and arrived back in Scottsdale looking like it had just been detailed.
  • Bug removal used to labor intensive and now they are easily removed with a damp rag.
  • The Lear 60 has stang covers that cover the thrust reverser mechanism. Exhaust from the engine pass through the inside of the stang covers and stains them with exhaust and oil. It used to be a very labor intensive job to keep these clean. Now we just remove the stains with a rag and the stang covers look good as new.
  • We are still gathering data on fuel burns since Permaguard was applied. With the data we have right now it appears we are burning about 2% less fuel per hour.
  • Miscellaneous streaking on the belly is easily removed with a rag. No deep cleaning required.
  • Overall, the aircraft looks stunning. The depth of shine is fantastic!
A great product!  I'm sure we'll have stories to tell in the future. Your staff that applied Permaguard were great too! Kudos!

Mr. Adams:
We have always appreciated all the excellent work you have done for Aero jet Services.  Since we started using your Permagard system on our aircraft we have notice that our aircraft stay cleaner, the paint stays brighter and our pilots claim that we are burning less fuel.  We think the Permagard and your expertise application of the product by far is one of the best things we have done to our aircraft in years. We will continue using Permagard and spread the word to other aircraft own

It is amazing! I can just wip off the exhaust trail with a soft cloth and nothing sticks to the plane. I have flown 15-20 hours since having it done and it looks like it was washed yesterday.

had the JetProp treated in Scottsdale during the convention and it's turned out to be a terrific investment. The 10 year old paint (which has held up quite well) looks almost new.

When I "tossed" on the canopy cover I use on transient overnight stays, it slid right off!! That's how slick the surface is now. As previously reported, exhaust residue wipes right off!

I can't yet vouch for any increase in TAS, but I know I've added years to my paint --- and the bird looks fabulous!!

I did my Meridian in Dallas last year seemed to pick up the TAS a couple of knots, and never need to wax, also removed some swirl marks from the factory miss handling my black paint.

I'm the chief pilot for Empire Southwest LLC. I operate a 2001 King Air 350 in Mesa, Arizona. I have been using West Coast Wash Station for many years to help me keep our aircraft looking new.

Almost a year ago your crew treated our aircraft with PERMAGARD. I have been amazed and impressed with PERMAGARD's performance. The cleaner and PERMAGARD application transformed our seven year old factory paint to like new condition. The colors once again jumped out and the entire aircraft had that glossy wet look.

It still looks that way today. There is very little exhaust attachment and what there is wipes off easily. I highly recommend PERMAGARD for new and old paint applications.

Haydon Building Corporation Chief Pilot Ben Kester

Mike,

I am the chief pilot for Haydon Building Corporation with our flight department based at Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa, AZ. For the last year and a half, the exterior care for our King Air 2003, C90B has been maintained by West Coast Wash Station.

It was time for our airplane to be waxed. Recently, we had the opportunity to see a locally based King Air 350 have their airplane waxed with Permagard. Both King Airs are about a year apart in production and have original paint. Immediately, we noticed a difference from past wax jobs. Permagard does cost more, however the quality is far better. The downtime was minimal but worth the wait.

The Permagard wax restored our paint to a like-new condition and lasts much longer than traditional wax. The exhaust soot from our engines does not stick to the aircraft as readily and wipes off with ease.

We are extremely happy with the results and will continue to use Permagard for our exterior maintenance program.

Sincerely,

Ben Kester
