Aircraft Wash

Skygard provides full wet wash services for a number of customers across Australia.

We are very conscious of the strict environmental conditions that airports are now imposing on operators. We have also developed our own mobile waste water reclamation system capable of capturing all of the runoff water which is transferred into a large holding tank for disposal at a regulated waste facility.

Brightwork Polish and Paint Protection

Almost any exterior painted surface or gel coat can be treated and protected permanently with Permagard’s exclusive reactive plastic film coatings, whether it be those surfaces that you see and notice every day, or those that maybe you don’t pay so much attention to, like under the wings of a B747 for example.

Skygard is an approved provider for the Permagard P5000 range of products. The coatings are continually tested by external agencies to ensure they comply with the vigorous standards required, especially in aviation for obvious reasons.

We are equally passionate about the quality of our service and workmanship. Our technicians are fully trained and expert in their knowledge and skills, and it’s unlikely you will find standards that exceed ours elsewhere.

It is for this reason that you will only use accredited applicators to apply the coatings.

The high gloss environmental protection barrier, formulated from patented biodegradable components continuously neutralise and repel airborne contaminants which can stain and etch into the paint surface.

We recommend all aircraft in Australia are treated with professionally applied, aviation certified, Permagard protection coatings to avoid damage to exterior painted surfaces on the aircraft due to corrosion, extreme temperature changes, intense UV exposure and oxidation.

The Permagard factory-made aerospace coatings utilise our high performance reactive film technology for the ultimate protection of all aircraft types.

Effective and powerful anti-oxidation functionality keeps your aircraft in super-gloss pristine condition for an extended period which means less down time needed for cleaning and more time to fly.

Fuel consumption will be reduced by applying the P5000 products and maintaining the service intervals. This is due the reduction in parasitic drag as a result of the reduced friction on the painted surfaces.

How does the Permagard coating work?

Once the coating has been professionally applied to your aircraft, it chemically bonds to the painted surface completely insulating and protecting the new paint from the extremities of the environment. In effect the coating completely seals the paint from the atmosphere and the damaging effects to paint associated with flying conditions in Australia.

The coating will protect your paint for its lifetime on your aircraft, if maintained correctly.

Rejuvenation and Protection

Aircraft and their paints that are not protected from new can be restored completely to new in most cases, even if the paint is dull and oxidised.

The unique rejuvenation and protection technology, specifically developed for the aviation industry, is so effective that it has previously been applied to the Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar fleet of aircraft.

What Is The Rejuvenation Process?

The rejuvenation process involves deep cleaning of the paint surface to remove all contaminants using specialised environmental cleaners before it is assessed by a technician whom will then ensure all micro-scratches, swirls and marks are filled in or removed. Paintwork can now be re-sealed and restored to showroom condition.
