Private jets aren’t just status symbols – they’re multi-million dollar assets requiring mandatory maintenance.
RealClean is establishing the first national brand in aircraft detailing.
- Recurring revenue contracts
- Low overhead operations
- No national competition
Wheels up!
Business Model
Every aircraft requires professional detailing every 90 days.
Protective coatings need annual reapplication. De-icing boots need refurbishment every 50 flight hours.
These aren’t optional services – they’re mandatory maintenance requirements.
RealClean is a 100% mobile business providing these services.
The business model itself is refreshingly simple.
A van, specialized equipment, proper training, and some elbow grease is all you need to start.
No retail location. No massive overhead.
Target customers include:
- Corporate flight departments
- Aircraft owner/operators
- Insurance adjusters
- Fleet managers
- Aircraft brokers
- Service centers
The aircraft cleaning and detailing market is projected to reach $2.6 billion by 2033, growing at 6.3% annually.
Yet no national brand exists. The industry remains fragmented, served primarily by local auto detailers who lack proper aerospace certification.
Building the Business
You start with just 3 employees, then grow from there:
- Add vans & employees to serve more airports
- Build a recurring revenue base
- New corporate fleet contracts
- Expand service offerings
Franchisees should be detail-oriented and highly professional when selling and servicing high-net-worth clientele.
Background

Next Steps
