Aircraft detailing at Naples Airport (APF)

Services at this field
What we do here
Interior detailing
Cabin, cockpit, galley and lavatory. Leather, wool, veneer and suede, each treated to its own tolerance.
02Exterior detailing
Dry wash and wet wash, belly and exhaust soil, gear and gear wells, performed with aviation qualified chemistry.
03Paint correction and protection
Correction and sealing on a finish system that gives you one chance to get it right.
04Brightwork polishing
Bare metal, exhaust stacks and trim brought back and kept there.
05De-ice boot service
Stripping, cleaning and sealing of elastomeric boots, which fail early when treated like paint.
06Disinfection and disinsection
Two different services, often confused. We perform both, to the applicable guidance.
07AOG and quick turn
Mobile team members who reach any field in the country when the schedule does not allow for waiting.
08Delivery and acceptance prep
Presentation for handover, when the aircraft is being inspected by someone looking for reasons.
09Scheduled care programs
Recurring care built around your flight schedule rather than around ours.
This field
What the Gulf coast does to an aircraft
Salt is the whole story, and it does not wait for weather. An aircraft based in South Florida sits in a corrosive atmosphere every day it is outside. Salt settles, holds moisture against metal, and works into seams, fasteners and gear bays. On a coastal field, cleaning frequency is part of corrosion control rather than appearance, and the FAA has connected the two in published guidance for decades.
The sun is relentless and there is no off season. UV at this latitude chalks polyurethane, hardens elastomers, dries seals and fades cabin materials near the windows measurably faster than a northern field does. Protection here buys years, not shine.
Then the growth season and the storms. Afternoon convection through the summer puts water on the aircraft daily, pollen and organic fallout land on every horizontal surface, and hurricane season means an aircraft can go from clean to filthy in a single afternoon. Interval matters more here than almost anywhere we work.
Naples is Gulf side, and the exposure pattern is different. The sea breeze comes off the water in the afternoon rather than the morning, and hurricane exposure on this coast is a live consideration rather than a theoretical one. An aircraft that rides out a storm here, even one that stays hangared, comes out of it carrying salt and debris that will not wait for the next scheduled visit.
How we work at Naples
Naples runs one of the strongest seasonal swings of any field we cover. Traffic surges from November through April and quiets sharply through the summer, and the field operates a well-established noise program with a night curfew. Both shape when work should happen. The right time for a full detail on a Naples aircraft is usually not the week everybody wants it.
South Florida is covered by one team across the whole corridor, from Naples and Miami to Stuart. That means the crew that works your aircraft at one field is the crew that works it at the next one, and the standard does not change because the airport did. Our office is at 1515 Perimeter Road in West Palm Beach.
Nearby fields we also cover
- Marco Island Executive (MKY), roughly 20 miles.
- Page Field, Fort Myers (FMY) and Southwest Florida International (RSW), roughly 40 miles.

Common questions
Naples, FL, answered
Do you provide aircraft detailing at Naples Airport?
Yes. Interior and exterior detailing, brightwork, paint protection, disinfection, quick turns and AOG response, from our South Florida team.
When is the best time to schedule work on a Naples based aircraft?
Usually not in season. Traffic surges November through April, which is when everyone wants the same window. Planning full work around that swing gets a better job at a better time.
What should be done after a storm?
Get salt and debris off promptly, including on a hangared aircraft. Storm exposure puts a load on an airframe that will not wait politely for the next scheduled visit.
What other southwest Florida airports do you cover?
Marco Island Executive, Page Field in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida International.
