The Los Angeles Basin's Oldest Airport
Aircraft have flown from this field since 1924, making Compton/Woodley the oldest continuously operating airport in the Los Angeles basin. When it faced closure in the 1960s, local pilots, residents and city leaders rallied, and Los Angeles County bought the airport in 1966. Today it's a close-knit general aviation field, and nearly all of its based aircraft are single-engine.
What a Full Detail Covers on a Single-Engine Aircraft
No guesswork about what you're paying for. Here's what we take care of, inside and out.

- Belly oil and exhaust stains degreased
- Bugs cleared from leading edges, wing roots and the cowling
- Landing gear, struts and wheel fairings wiped down
- Paint dry washed, with polish, wax or ceramic coating available
- De-ice boots cleaned and conditioned on equipped aircraft
Inside
- Seats cleaned and leather conditioned
- Carpet shampooed and extracted
- Yokes, switches and other high-touch surfaces sanitized
- Cabin vacuumed and wiped down, including door sills and the baggage area
- Before-and-after photos of the finished work
Three Easy Ways to Get Started
Not every aircraft needs everything at once. Pick a starting point, or text us a photo and we'll recommend one.
A clean exterior
A dry wash and degrease removes belly oil, bugs and grime and gets your aircraft looking sharp on the ramp.
The full refresh
Add an interior detail to the wash, and both the cockpit and the paint get a fresh start.
Restore and protect
Polish older paint back to a shine, then seal it with a ceramic coating that keeps it looking good.
Aircraft Detailing Services at Compton/Woodley Airport
Every service is performed on-site at CPM with aviation-safe products, at your hangar or right at your tie-down.
Aircraft Dry Wash & Degrease
We degrease the belly, clear bugs from the leading edges and wipe down the gear. It's waterless, so there's no runoff on your tie-down or hangar floor.
Aircraft Interior Detailing
Seats cleaned and conditioned, the cabin vacuumed and wiped down, and yokes and switches sanitized, so your cockpit feels new again.
Aircraft Polishing & Wax
Machine polishing removes chalky oxidation from older paint, and wax brings back the shine and adds UV protection.
Aircraft Carpet Shampoo
Deep shampooing and extraction lift the mud, stains and odors that build up in small-aircraft cabins over time.
Aircraft Ceramic Coating
System X ceramic coating locks in the shine for the long term and makes every future wash quicker.
Pneumatic De-Ice Boot Treatment
For twins and turboprops at CPM, we clean and condition de-ice boots so the rubber stays supple instead of cracking.
