RealClean Aircraft Detailing announced its expansion into New Jersey and Connecticut, establishing new anchor hubs in the tri-state corridor, the busiest private-jet market in the world.
This strategic expansion positions RealClean at the heart of one of the world’s most concentrated corridors for business and private aviation — anchored by Teterboro Airport (TEB, #1 in U.S. private-jet departures), Westchester County Airport (HPN, #4), and Connecticut’s leading executive hubs including Bradley International (BDL, Windsor Locks) and Waterbury–Oxford (OXC, Oxford). The new footprint allows private-jet owners, operators, and FBO partners to access on-demand, premium aircraft detailing, interior restoration, and Flight Shield™ protective coatings directly where their aircraft are based — eliminating the need to ferry jets to distant maintenance facilities.
Where Precision Meets Preventative Care
RealClean’s unique business model combines mobile convenience with meticulous craftsmanship, offering tailored interior and exterior programs that go far beyond cosmetic care to include preventative maintenance. Every service is designed to enhance performance, preserve value, and ensure safety — an essential consideration when maintaining aircraft worth millions of dollars.
What sets RealClean apart is its uncompromising commitment to training, safety, and precision. Each technician undergoes extensive, aviation-specific instruction to meet the stringent requirements of handling private aircraft, where even the smallest oversight can have major implications. The company’s process integrates deep technical knowledge, aviation-approved materials, and a rigorous quality-assurance system that mirrors MRO-level standards.
By bringing this expertise to the tri-state region, RealClean ensures that private-jet owners, brokers, management companies, and FBOs gain access to a trusted partner capable of maintaining aircraft at the highest aesthetic and operational standards. It’s a new benchmark for aviation care — blending the artistry of detailing with the engineering discipline of aerospace maintenance.
