 |
|
The first couple of times I cleaned the FireFly, I used too much water. I
asked my hangar mate how he kept his little Cessna so bright and clean. He
showed me a spray water bottle and a roll of paper towels.
I adopted his technique and it works out very well. For the wing I spray an
area that covers my reach from three step stool. Then I use a square paper
towel folded into quarters, and sop up the water and dust. Then I spray the
area again and unfold the towel to expose the inside surfaces and mop up the
water an the remaining dust. Then I discard the towel, move the stool and
start again.
One has to be a little careful around the vg's but it is easy to clean
around them with a folded towel while holding the vg down with one
finger.
On the tail surfaces that receive a little oil spatter, I spray the affected
areas with a green cleaner before the water. And then I use the same
process on the tail.
Overall I can clean the FireFly with less that two dozen paper towels and
less than a pint of water.
