Ep 345 Professional Aircraft Detailing with Chris Hibben and JetGlow Aviation

Former Navy and Air Force combat photographer Chris Hibben joins Nik to discuss how his unique aviation background led him to create JetGlow Aviation, an aircraft detailing company based in Oshkosh, WI. Chris explains why aircraft paint, brightwork, and interiors are more than cosmetic – they're part of a critical condition management system that can influence performance, fuel efficiency, perceived safety, and resale value.

He shares expert insight on proper washing and polishing techniques, common mistakes that can damage aircraft surfaces, and why often-overlooked details like landing gear wells and cabin leather matter to both owners and clients.
