Aircraft Brightwork Polishing, in short

Aircraft brightwork polishing restores the bare polished metal on an aircraft, such as engine inlet lips, leading edges, spinners and trim, by removing oxidation and haze and polishing it back to a mirror finish. Peak Polish does it on site at airports and hangars across Toronto and the GTA, quoted per aircraft.

Aircraft Brightwork Polishing

Bare polished metal oxidizes and hazes over with weather, exhaust and time. Machine and hand polishing removes that dull layer and brings back the bright, reflective finish that makes an aircraft look cared for.

Brightwork is usually done alongside an exterior wash, so the whole aircraft looks finished.

Why it's worth it

Mirror finish

Dull, hazy metal polished back to a bright shine.

Oxidation removed

The chalky layer that builds up on bare metal is taken off.

Looks the part

Bright metal makes the whole aircraft look well kept.

What counts as brightwork

Bare, polished metal with no paint over it, such as engine inlet lips, leading edges, spinners and trim.

Why it dulls

Bare metal oxidizes. Weather, engine exhaust and time leave a chalky haze that hides the shine.

Keeping it bright

Hangar storage and regular washing slow the haze down. Pair polishing with an exterior wash and the whole aircraft is done in one visit.

Questions, answered

What is aircraft brightwork?

The bare, polished metal parts of an aircraft, such as engine inlet lips, leading edges, spinners and trim.

How do you protect the paint around the metal?

We mask and work carefully around painted areas so polish stays on the brightwork.

How much does brightwork polishing cost?

It depends on how much brightwork the aircraft has and its condition. Request a quote with the make and model.

Can you polish painted or anodized parts?

We polish bare metal. Painted, anodized or clear-coated parts need a different approach, so we check every surface first and tell you exactly what we will polish.

How long does the shine last?

It depends on where the aircraft is kept and how often it flies. A hangared aircraft that is washed regularly keeps its shine much longer than one parked outside, and we can quote a touch-up polish whenever it starts to dull.
