I wonder which polish they use in the hangar?

Featured Replies

They keep the floor so clean in the hangar and my stock aircraft look so shiny. The polish they use on my trusty Caravan can't be that durable though cos it falls off once in the air😉

I demand better polish otherwise I want my money back.

OK, I'll explain for you wiler:

Firstly. The aircraft look much better in my hangar. It could be my PC or it could be something else.
Secondly. It was also framed in some humour. Complete with a gentle good humoured dig at complainers.

Thirdly: Wiler, judging by your response you seem to be a complainer, you're complaining about my post at least.

Fourthly: If you don't like it do not prolong or extend the thread by complaining, ignore it.

Fifthly.......jeez 

Meanwhile, back to humourous observations 🙂

I wouldn't know.  Seems all the available hangars in the object libraries all have the hangar doors closed.  Always looks like nobody is home....

Not sure about polish ...  but certainly topping up the landing lights with some automotive headlight/blinker fluid is a good thing:

Note: these products are NOT suitable for Lucas Electrics which as we all know run on smoke not fluid.

Must get some for my garage floor.

A friend that I occasionally fly with has his 310's hangar fitted with this type floor.  No polish needed.  I have this material as my garage floor.  Dirt and dust fall through it, but can be easily removed with a leaf blower.

It is worth noting that some older British made aircraft may have Lucas Electrics and for these sort of applications US made Headlight Fluid is not suitable and may do more harm than good.

Pilots of these older aircraft will often report smoke leaking from under the instrument panel followed by a partial or complete failure of the electrics.

Clearly what has happened here is the smoke that traditional Lucas Electrics rely on to function has escaped rendering the wiring inoperable.

The solution to this problem is simply inject genuine Lucas replacement smoke back into the wiring harness.

This radio prank from a number of years ago in the Detroit area was pretty funny.

 

What a great thread guys.

I wonder if any of these products can be used to polish the backs of the hippos under the murky water in order to make them less visible?? I am surprised that at the very least, an app has not appeared on Flightsim.to make these animals less visible to the naked eye. The obvious solution, of course, is to only fly the SR71 (when it comes to MSFS) at 375000 feet. That'll #%&% em

You also need these to figure out what's wrong.
