How long has it been since the last time you washed the plane? A few weeks, or even a few months already? The same way that one would wash their car after regular use, your airplane deserves the same amount of care.

Small bugs, dirt, grass, and more fragments of organic and inorganic material begins to collect on the wings, near the gear and over flight controls.

Having your airplane washed regularly can help not only keep the plane looking nice but also ensure that it is operating at its designed performance metrics. The potential for the build up matter to potentially cause damage or corrosion increases over time of neglecting the items.

In addition you will feel better walking up to your plane and seeing how the plane looks on the ramp shiny and spot free. Your passengers if any will appreciate the attention to detail in upkeeping its cleanliness.

Keeping the plane clean also helps to increase the value. When it comes time for the new owner to pick up their plane it will make an impact on their experience when they see their new plane with a fresh coat of wax and polish to keep the paint protected for years to come.
