Any high quality silicone-free automotive wax may be used to preserve
painted surfaces. Soft cleaning cloths or a chamois should be used to
prevent scratches when cleaning or polishing. A heavier coating of wax on
the leading surfaces will reduce abrasion problems in these areas.
The frequency and method of washing is determined by the operating
environment. If the aircraft is operated in a continuous salt laden
environment, a desalination wash is recommended following the last ight
of the day and should be accomplished as a motoring wash. Occasional
operation in salt laden environments may necessitate a weekly desalination
wash accomplished with the motoring method. Less severe and more general
operating environments are not as conducive to rapid buildup of deposits,
but may eventually lead to deterioration in performance, necessitating a
performance recovery wash at intervals of 100-200 hours. In these general
operating environments, a motoring wash is recommended for light soil and
multiple motoring or a running wash is suggested for heavy soil accumulation.
