Central Iowa Air Service

Central Iowa Air Service serves owners and operators throughout the Des Moines area with a full slate of aviation support, and aircraft washing is a core part of that offering. Based at the airport, the team understands that a well-maintained exterior isn't just about appearance—it's about protecting your investment and keeping your aircraft flight-ready. Their aircraft washing service covers exterior washes, brightwork and metal polishing, and de-greasing to remove exhaust stains, bug residue, and grime that can build up between flights. Because the team also handles maintenance, fueling, and storage on-site, aircraft owners can coordinate a wash alongside other services during the same visit, minimizing downtime and keeping turnaround fast between flights. Products used are selected with hangar and ramp safety in mind, so your airframe finish and surrounding equipment stay protected throughout the process. What sets this service apart is the attention paid to every panel, seam, and surface—technicians take the time to do the job right rather than rushing through it. For owners and operators who rely on their aircraft for business or personal travel, that means stepping onto a clean, polished aircraft they can be proud of. Located at the heart of Central Iowa's aviation community in Des Moines, Central Iowa Air Service gives pilots one more reason to trust their aircraft's care to a team that's already on the field.
