Auto detailers spruce up Air Force One
Thursday, October 25, 2007

AIKEN, SC — Travis Hill, owner of Immaculate Conceptions Mobile Detailing, was among a team of about 20 auto detailers who spruced up the original presidential jet at the Museum of Flight, according to Aiken Standard.

The Oct. 22 said Hill met detailing professional Renny Doyle, also a contributing author to Professional Carwashing & Detailng magazine, while he was training. Doyle invited Hill to travel to Seattle, WA to partake in the detailing job at the museum.

According to the report, Hill's job on this piece of aviation history was a tricky procedure called "bright work," shining the naked aluminum on the underside of Air Force One's fuselage.

During Hill’s time at the Museum of Flight, he also worked on a plane from NASA Langley Research Center, the first prototypes for the Boeing 747 and 737, and a retired British Airways Concorde supersonic transport, the report said.

The report said working alongside Doyle and his fellow detailers, Hill gained valuable experience and, perhaps more importantly, some pretty cool bragging rights for his business, now open for about a year.
