Ceramic, Brightwork & Paint Specialists at Hays Regional Airport
Hays is beyond our everyday service region, so our presence at Hays Regional Airport follows a simple rule: the job has to justify the journey. For ceramic coating, brightwork and paint correction it does, and operators at HYS book us for exactly that.
HYS is a specialty-only field for us. No cleanings. No routine details.
We travel here for
- ✓ SystemX ceramic coating
- ✓ Brightwork restoration
- ✓ Paint correction & polishing
- ✓ Aircraft disinsection (nationwide)
- ✓ Fleet-scale specialty programs
We do not travel here for
- ✗ Interior details
- ✗ Cabin cleaning
- ✗ Wash-only visits
- ✗ Routine or one-off details
- ✗ Quick turnarounds
We would rather be honest at the first phone call than awkward on the ramp at HYS: routine details are not on the menu here. The specialty projects are, and for those, distance has never once been the deciding factor for the operators who fly us in to Hays.
Ceramic coating at HYS
For owners at Hays Regional Airport the flagship project is the SystemX Max G+ ceramic coating: aviation-grade, Boeing-approved and applied by certified hands over several days. Gloss is the visible result; the real product is a sealed, UV-stable surface that keeps Hays sun and contamination out of the paint for years. See how the coating works.
Brightwork restoration
Owners with bare metal at HYS know how rare good polishers are. Brightwork restoration is slow, skilled, physical work, and it is one of our founding trades, which is why aircraft in Hays with substantial polished surfaces are exactly the calls we accept. See the mirror-finish work we do.
Paint correction & polishing
Most aircraft paint around Hays has never seen a trained machine polisher. Correction work at Hays Regional Airport, cutting oxidation, leveling swirl, restoring depth, is the precursor to every coating we install and a worthy project on its own when the finish has real age on it. See what correction involves.
Disinsection: the nationwide exception
Aircraft disinsection is the exception to every travel rule, at HYS and everywhere else: it is a nationwide service by design. Departing Hays for a country that requires disinsection, we treat the empty aircraft before boarding to the WHO standard and issue the certificate. Our disinsection page explains the method.
What we don’t do here, and why
The rule cuts both ways at Hays Regional Airport. If the request is a wash, an interior refresh or a routine detail, the answer is a friendly no, because the travel would make it a bad deal for you. If the request is one of the specialties, the answer is a scheduled date at HYS.

HYS specialty work, answered
What happens if I just need a cleaning at HYS?
We will tell you honestly that we are the wrong call for that in Hays, and the right call for a coating, a brightwork restoration or paint correction. When one of those is on the table, we schedule it.
Can you handle large or multiple aircraft at HYS?
Yes. Fleet-scale specialty work is often what makes a trip to Hays most efficient; several aircraft coated or polished in one scheduled visit share the travel and get the same crew throughout.
Do you handle disinsection at HYS?
Yes, anywhere in the US including Hays Regional Airport. Pre-embarkation disinsection is performed on the empty aircraft before boarding, to the WHO standard, with the certificate issued for the flight.
Do you combine projects on one visit to HYS?
Whenever it makes sense. Correction plus coating is the classic pairing at Hays Regional Airport, brightwork slots alongside either, and a pre-departure disinsection can ride on the same visit.
