Granitize XC11 - Spray and Shine Cleaner / Brightener - 1 Gal
Spray & Shine is an exterior, light duty cleaner. This pink liquid is a spray on, wipe off formula to clean, enhance and maintain painted surfaces and brightwork. It is recommended for removing bugs, smudges, spotting and light carbon buildup on exterior surfaces. This product is highly recommended for post flight wipe down of leading edge and engine inlet debris. Leave on as a film during coastal or tropical parking to preserve brightwork treated with Xzilon 3. It is also used as a lubricant/cleaner when micro-polishing paint with Grana-Clay Bars. Safe for use on Xzilon 3 coated aircraft. See XC11CL-Q on page 11 for interior use. Available in gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon containers. Aviation Industry Certified*
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
