Aircraft are regularly subjected to a variety of stressors throughout operations, making it important that they are well maintained while having protection wherever possible. Whether an aircraft is in flight, being cleaned, or simply sitting in a hangar, all metal surfaces will face a risk of corrosion, the risk simply varying based on a number of factors. Corrosion can lead to various issues like pitting, and if left unchecked, the aircraft can be rendered unfit for use in just a matter of years. While regular washing and other practices that can uphold quality, one of the best ways you can deter corrosion early is through the use of pretreatments, primers, and paints.
