Real Clean Aircraft Detailing Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

RealClean Aircraft Detailing is a niche mobile concept that focuses on interior/exterior detailing in addition to other specialized services for various types of aircraft.

RealClean Aircraft Detailing Services was founded by Dustin Zeitler during his time in general aviation, driven by the need for professional aircraft detailing, a service distinct from auto detailing. Lacking a clear blueprint, Zeitler drew on his aircraft maintenance experience to carefully develop the necessary skills and processes. Together with Eric Stevenson, the company's operations manager and first employee, they refined their techniques, focusing on quality and precision. In April 2019, Zeitler and Lucas Goucher acquired the business, expanding it significantly to service over 50 airports across the Midwest by implementing innovative practices and exclusive products.

The company sets itself apart by offering hyper-personalized services in an industry dominated by large, generic service providers. As an owner-operated business with a long-tenured staff, RealClean Aircraft Detailing Services has seen substantial growth, with revenues increasing consistently year over year. This success is attributed to their dedication to high standards, specialized training, and a client-focused approach that ensures each aircraft detailing job reflects the values and preferences of its owner. The company continues to thrive, expanding its operations while maintaining a commitment to excellence and personal service.

Real Clean Aircraft Detailing is also backed by Franchise Altitude, founded by Scott Marr. Franchise Altitude offers a unique approach to franchise growth by combining strategic support, personal investment, and extensive industry experience. They are known for fostering significant business expansions, as seen with brands like Koala Insulation, Fleet Clean, Cabinet IQ, and Donut NV. Their team prioritizes integrity and a hands-on partnership, ensuring franchisees and franchisors not only receive the capital needed but also benefit from tailored advice and strong industry connections. This makes them an invaluable partner for those seeking to scale their franchise successfully.
