Aircraft Detailing atKCNOChino Airport
Chino is one of the great warbird and vintage aircraft fields in the country, with a large based fleet and several major restoration and museum operations. About forty five minutes east of Pasadena.
About 45 minutes from Pasadena. Overnight and after hours work available six days a week.
The field
Working at KCNO
The aircraft at KCNO skew heavily toward vintage, restored, and polished aluminum airframes, which is the most demanding detailing work there is. Polished aluminum has no clear coat protecting it, so every pass is on the metal itself. Get it wrong and you have put swirl into a surface that took someone months to bring up. Get it right and it looks like water. Brightwork here is a craft, not a service line item.
The Inland Empire runs hot, dry, and dusty, and Chino gets wind off the open ground around it. Fine grit settles on everything, which makes the single most damaging thing an owner can do here painfully common: wiping a dry aircraft with a dry rag. That is how polished surfaces get ruined.

Detailing at KCNO
Do you detail aircraft at KCNO?
Yes. Chino Airport in Chino is about 45 minutes from Pasadena, California. Joel works at your hangar or ramp spot rather than at a shop, so the aircraft never has to move. Estimates are free.
Can you work overnight at Chino Airport?
Yes, and it is the normal booking. Hours are 24 hours Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. An aircraft that lands in the evening is finished before the morning departure. Give Joel the departure time and the job is planned backward from it.
What do conditions at KCNO do to an airframe?
The Inland Empire runs hot, dry, and dusty, and Chino gets wind off the open ground around it. Fine grit settles on everything, which makes the single most damaging thing an owner can do here painfully common: wiping a dry aircraft with a dry rag. That is how polished surfaces get ruined.
How do I get a price for work at KCNO?
Call or text (323) 795-3215 with the aircraft type, the hangar or FBO, and when it next flies. The estimate is free. A deposit confirms the booking and comes off the final price.
