Carpet Extraction & Stain Removal: Deep carpet extraction and stain removal to eliminate odors, spots, and embedded debris from cabin carpeting.

Exterior Services

Exterior Rinseless Wash:  An OEM-preferred rinseless exterior wash designed to prevent corrosion, preserve aircraft surfaces, enhance flight safety, apply a two-week UV protection, and include targeted degreasing to reduce parasitic drag.

Scope of Services

Sterling Mobility Group provides professional aircraft detailing, appearance maintenance, and surface care services only. We do not perform mechanical work, maintenance, repairs, inspections, or any tasks that fall under the scope of a licensed aircraft mechanic or maintenance organization.

Our work is intentionally limited to non-invasive detailing services and does not involve adjustment, removal, or modification of mechanical components, systems, or assemblies. Clients should not expect mechanical evaluation, troubleshooting, or sign-off as part of our services.

For all mechanical, maintenance, or airworthiness-related needs, we recommend working directly with your aircraft’s approved maintenance provider or FBO.
