Turboprops detailing in Bulverde.
King Air, TBM, PC-12, Caravan — aviation-grade mobile detailing on your hangar floor or FBO ramp.
Bulverde-based turboprops owners typically operate out of Bulverde Airpark (1T8, in Bulverde). Private airpark community with home-hangared aircraft. We also work Boerne Stage Field (5C1) and Stinson Municipal (SSF) for owners with hangar arrangements across multiple fields.
Service specs · Bulverde
Built for Bulverde owners.
Bulverde is a fleet-heavy area. The driveways are big enough for a 40-foot Class A and the shops are big enough for a 5th wheel. Add the proximity to Canyon Lake (15 minutes) and the home-hangared fleet at Bulverde Airpark, and we're routinely in Bulverde three days a week.
Owner profile. Semi-rural Hill Country ranchettes, large driveways and shops, weekend boats trailered to Canyon Lake, Class A motorhomes and 5th wheels for full-time and snowbird use, and the tight-knit Bulverde Airpark fly-in community.
Turboprops are working aircraft. Owners fly them — to a client meeting in Houston, to a ranch in West Texas, to a vacation in Cabo. That means they pick up bug strikes on the leading edges, exhaust streaks down the belly behind the engines, fuel residue around the wing-root caps, and brake dust packed into the wheel wells. A King Air or TBM that hasn't been detailed in six months looks tired on the ramp, and a tired-looking turboprop on a buyer's PreBuy is a $20-50k negotiation. Detailing a turboprop is not detailing an airplane in general — it's specifically a job that requires aviation-grade products, a complete understanding of where the static wicks and pitot tubes live, and the patience to work around props, antennas, vortex generators, and de-ice boots without damaging any of them.

Turboprops protocol — Bulverde edition.
Pre-detail walk with you, the owner, or a designated A&P. We confirm scope, identify taped-up sensors, fresh paint, repair patches, or anything you want us to leave alone.
Mask off pitot tubes, static ports, AOA vanes, antennas, and total air-temperature probes with painters' tape and bagged covers.
De-ice boots — if you have pneumatic boots (most King Airs do), they get a special boot wash and Age Master conditioner. Never use ordinary aircraft soap on boots.
Belly degrease with aviation-grade exhaust-stain remover. We hand-work it with microfiber, never a power washer.
Leading edges get bug-strike remover (Aero Cosmetics Bug Remover or equivalent) applied by hand, dwelled, and wiped — never scrubbed dry.
Full exterior wash with Aero Cosmetics or Granitize aviation soap. Wet wash on ramps with drains, dry wash inside hangars with no runoff.
Hand polish painted surfaces — never rotary buffer on rivet lines, fairings, or near repair patches. We work with the airflow direction of the panels.
Polished aluminum brightwork (cowl rings, prop spinner backs on some models) hand-polished with metal polish and finished with a sealant.
Acrylic windshields and side windows cleaned with Plexus or distilled water and a fresh microfiber. Never standard glass cleaner.
Interior service — leather conditioning, headliner spot clean, seat-belt webbing wipe, avionics screen cleaning with screen-safe microfiber (we follow Garmin and Collins OEM guidance).
Final walk with you — all masking removed, all sensors uncovered, photographic record of pre-existing items. You sign off before we leave.
What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Bulverde Airpark (1T8, in Bulverde) is part of our regular service rotation. We coordinate hangar or ramp access with the FBO or owner ahead of every appointment. Private airpark community with home-hangared aircraft.
Stinson (SSF), San Antonio International (SAT), Boerne Stage (5C1), New Braunfels Regional (BAZ), Hondo (HDO), Kerrville-Kerr County (ERV), Fredericksburg (T82), Castroville (CVB), and most private strips in the Hill Country. We coordinate ramp or hangar access with you ahead of the appointment.
Yes — we carry an aviation liability rider specifically for ground operations on aircraft we detail. Happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance to your FBO or hangar landlord before the appointment.
Yes. Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All is our default inside hangars where water isn't allowed. It cleans and protects in one step with zero runoff. Works equally well on King Airs, TBMs, and Caravans.
Only with screen-safe microfiber and approved cleaner — distilled water, Plexus, or an OEM-approved cleaner. We follow Garmin (G1000, G3000, G5000, GTN), Collins (Pro Line 21, Fusion), and Honeywell guidance. If you have a specific product you prefer, bring it and we'll use yours.
Boots get a separate wash with a pH-neutral boot cleaner, then Age Master rubber conditioner applied by hand to keep them supple. Boots that are starting to crack or check we'll flag so you can plan a replacement — we won't pretend they're fine if they aren't.
A King Air 200 wash, hand polish, and interior runs 6-8 hours. A King Air 350 with belly degrease and full interior is 8-10 hours. A TBM 940 with full detail is typically 7-9 hours. Heavy oxidation or pre-buy showings may add a day.
A standard exterior wash and interior on a light turboprop (TBM, M600) starts around $1,000. A full exterior + interior on a King Air 200/350 runs $1,500-2,000. Heavy belly degrease, boot service, or pre-buy detailing pushes to $2,500. We quote after walk-around.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Bulverde driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
