Shiny Jets

I recently completed the aircraft detailing and brightwork training with Shiny Jets, and it was one of the best professional training experiences I’ve had. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and bring decades of real-world aviation detailing experience. What impressed me most is that they don’t just teach theory — they teach the actual processes, tools, and standards used on high-end aircraft in the field. From paint correction and brightwork polishing to proper chemical selection and safety procedures, everything is explained clearly and demonstrated hands-on. The training is intense but incredibly valuable. You spend real time working on aircraft, learning professional techniques that would otherwise take years of trial and error to figure out on your own. They also provide guidance on equipment, pricing, and building a professional detailing operation, which is huge for anyone serious about entering this niche. Because of this training, I feel confident launching Leading Edge Aircraft Detailing in San Diego and delivering results that meet the high standards aircraft owners expect. If you’re serious about getting into aircraft detailing or improving your current skill set, I highly recommend the Shiny Jets program. The investment in knowledge and hands-on experience is absolutely worth it. Huge thank you to the entire Shiny Jets team for sharing their expertise and supporting the next generation of aviation detailers.

I had the privilege of learning aircraft detailing from Israel, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional instructor. His knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none. From the very beginning, Israel took the time to explain not only how to perform each task correctly, but also why it matters when working around aircraft. What impressed me most was his patience and dedication to teaching. He was always willing to answer questions, share his experience, and make sure I understood every step of the process. His passion for aviation and commitment to high-quality work set a standard that motivated me to constantly improve. Thanks to Israel’s guidance, I gained valuable aircraft detailing skills, a greater appreciation for precision and safety, and the confidence to perform the work to a professional standard. I highly recommend Israel to anyone looking to learn from someone who genuinely cares about his students and takes pride in helping them succeed.

As the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Laminar Aircraft Detailing in Wichita, KS, choosing the right training partner was one of the most important decisions we could make. Attending Shiny Jets training was one of the best investments we have made for our business. Brett, Andrew, Israel, and the entire Shiny Jets team were incredibly open, professional, and generous with their knowledge. They did not simply teach us how to clean aircraft; they taught us the systems, processes, safety considerations, and standards required to operate at a professional level in the aviation industry. What impressed me most was their willingness to share both the technical side of the business and the operational side. They genuinely want their students to succeed. They answered questions, explained the reasoning behind their methods, and provided practical guidance drawn from years of real-world experience. One of the biggest strengths of the program is the amount of hands-on training. You do not just sit in a classroom and talk about aircraft detailing. Shiny Jets provides access to an impressive variety of aircraft and allows students to gain real-world experience performing the work. That hands-on exposure is invaluable and builds confidence that simply cannot be gained from videos or classroom instruction alone. The training was detailed, practical, and professional. We gained experience in aircraft washing, paint correction, brightwork restoration, de-ice boot restoration, interior detailing, and the professionalism required when working around high-value aircraft. I left with a much greater understanding of the industry and confidence in our ability to launch Laminar Aircraft Detailing the right way. Beyond the training itself, I also gained friendships with some outstanding people. Brett, Andrew, and Israel have built something special, and it is clear they care deeply about both the industry and the success of those they train. Even after training, they continue to ma
