NUPOL is an effective drywash heavy-duty exterior aircraft paint restorer. NUPOL will remove oxidation caused by paint's “end of life cycle” breakdown and extend paint life. NUPOL can also be used for vehicle restoration and fiberglass marine applications.
Heavy-Duty drywash, restoration, and cleaning
Restores shine and color on oxidized paint
Safe for all OEM aircraft components
Extends service life of the paint.
The best technique for BrightWork.
Polishing metal surfaces involves maintaining the correct body stance. Plant feet lined directly under your shoulders, firmly on a level surface. Keep the work area the same width as your shoulders, approximately 18” to 24”. Apply product, as directed, ONLY within this polish area. Beginning top right or left, work back & forth, right to the left, within the targeted polish area. Then work the same area up and down, applying light but firm pressure. NEVER buff below the belt, meaning NO bending to meet lower level. Best results when you keep eye level with the polishing buffer. Remember Technique, technique, technique!

NuPol Procedures
GENERAL CLEANING
Apply NuPol as is – DO NOT DILUTE by hand, with mophead or random orbital.
Agitate a small, 18”-24” area evenly with a thin layer of product.
Increased agitation will help the cleaning/deoxidizing action.
Allow to fully dry, in NO MORE than 10 minutes.
Remove by polishing off with a mop head or dry terry cloth to shine.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
It's the standard pilot log for a reason. Many different flight time categories with just enough space for remarks. As a helicopter pilot, it would be nice if the endorsements section wasn't fixed-wing focused; but I get that there are a lot fewer helicopter pilots out there, so I won't dock any stars for that. This is my third ASA-SP-57 logbook at this point, and I intend to keep getting more of them in the future.
