Protect Your Aircraft. Improve Safety. Maintain Professional Standards.
The landing gear wells represent one of the most significant, yet most frequently neglected, areas of aircraft maintenance despite their critical nature. Continuously exposed to hydraulic fluid (Skydrol), aviation grease, brake dust, soot, ramp debris, and environmental contaminants, gear wells are susceptible to corrosion, wear, and mechanical interference. Billionaire Jet’s Gear Well Cleaning service provides an engaging cleaning experience that gives an aviation-quality clean without hazardous buildup in the gear wells while supporting the structural integrity of your gear and operational reliability.
Our certified detailing technicians use FAA-DOT-approved degreasers, corrosion inhibitors, and aviation-related tooling to service confined spaces, including wiring harnesses, hydraulic assemblies, actuators, and struts. By neutralizing and dissolving corrosive agents and restoring cleanliness, we make components last longer, improve the clarity of inspection, and maintain compliance with FAA safety regulations. The outcome is gear wells devoid of contamination, restored cleanliness, and ready for inspection. The technical service provided, while required as good practice, provides the certainty required in attention to detail and the expectation of VIP, VVIP, and corporate aviation.
Note:- Many fbo don't allow washing with water due to airport regulations.
Why Choose Billionaire Jet for Gear Well Cleaning
- Approved Cleaners & Degreasers for Aviation
We use aircraft-certified cleaning products specifically designed to dissolve hydraulic fluid, Skydrol, grease, brake dust, and soot without damage to paint, seals, or wiring. The advanced cleaning products that we use are tailored for aviation applications and clean thoroughly and effectively utilize compatible materials.
- Corrosion Prevention & Structure Protection
Aviation-safe inhibitors are applied to protect against corrosion, pitting, and fatigue to help maintain structural integrity and reduce expensive repairs over the long term. Preventative action extends the service life of critical components and ensures continued airworthiness of the aircraft.
- Improved Safety & Operational Reliability
Clean gear wells allow for the free movement of actuators, struts, and hydraulic assemblies, reducing the chances of interference from accumulated contaminants or overheating. Cleaning is critical to overall mechanical reliability and allows your technicians to see clearly during their inspection.
- Hazardous Skydrol & Hydraulic Residue Removed Safely
Proprietary formulations neutralize Skydrol, one of the most corrosive fluids in aviation, protecting coatings, metals, seals, and electrical systems from damage. Skydrol is a specialized treatment that keeps chemical stability and allows the gear wells to remain safe for flight-critical operations.
- Professional Cleaning for VIP & Corporate Aviation
Our certified service technicians operate with a high level of discretion and accuracy in VIP/VVIP and corporate aviation settings. All aspects of the cleaning process, even the finer details of each surface, are handled with precision and professionalism, while ensuring your aircraft receives our premium services with limited impact on your operation.
What’s Included in Our Gear Well Cleaning Service
- Inaugural Examination & Contamination Check
A comprehensive inspection of gear bays for leaks, brake dust, rust, and debris ensures the safest cleaning approach. Our technicians also assess moisture levels, wear patterns, and contamination severity to tailor the most effective aviation-safe treatment.
- Removal of Loose Debris & Surface Contaminants
Manual clearing of gravel, sand, soot, and particles prevents abrasion and prepares the surface for precision detailing. This step creates a stable foundation for deeper cleaning, protecting sensitive components from damage during the process.
- Application of Aviation-Approved Degreasers
Specialized solutions neutralize Skydrol and dissolve grease, oil, and carbon buildup while maintaining compatibility with seals and coatings. These aircraft-certified products are conservatively applied to ensure thorough cleaning without compromising material integrity.
- Detailed Cleaning of Gear Bays & Assemblies
Precision cleaning of wells, struts, actuators, wiring, and hydraulic lines is performed using aviation-grade tools. Every recess, hinge, and connector is restored to a contamination-free state, improving mechanical reliability and inspection visibility.
- Rinse & Non-Corrosive Wipe-Down
A controlled rinse delivers a residue-free finish that preserves protective coatings and prevents long-term corrosion. Surfaces are stabilized and left safe for continued operation, ensuring durability and compliance with aviation standards.
- Corrosion Check & Neutralization
Aviation inhibitors are applied to protect high-value components, extending service life and reducing repair costs. This proactive measure safeguards structural integrity against moisture, salt air, and environmental exposure.
- Drying & Moisture Removal
High-velocity air blowers and microfiber tools eliminate trapped moisture, preventing rust and electrical interference. Complete drying ensures gear wells remain stable, corrosion-free, and ready for safe mechanical performance.
- Final Inspection & Safety Verification
A 360° review confirms gear wells are clean, safe, and fully inspection-ready. Technicians verify that all components are unobstructed, corrosion-free, and compliant with aviation safety standards before handover.

Benefits of Regular Aircraft Washing
Regular cleaning of the gear well is key to protecting the mechanical and structural integrity of your aircraft, ensuring critical systems remain reliable and safe when confronting extreme operating conditions. Cleaning removes corrosive agents such as Skydrol, hydraulic fluid, grease, brake dust, and runway debris, preventing the formation of rust, surface pitting, and accelerated wear that compromises actuators, struts, sensors, and hydraulic assemblies. This proactive maintenance protects critical components and also improves visibility during inspections, allowing for early detection of leaks, cracks, corrosion, and/or fatigue—limiting expensive repairs, lowering downtime, and maintaining full compliance with aviation regulations and safety audits.
Aside from the protection of technical components, a well-cleaned gear bay communicates precision, safety, and luxury—reinforcing the unwavering quality of VIP, VVIP, and corporate aviation. A clean and spotless gear well demonstrates attention to detail and hands-on engineering care, generating confidence in trustees, executives, and clients, while developing an image of operational excellence with each arrival and departure. To sum it up, Gear Well Cleaning is more than maintenance; it is professionalism and prestige that supports the guarantee your aircraft will always meet the highest expectations of performance, presentation, and brand image.
