Cleaning firm buys perfect company to keep aircraft looking sharp
Sharp Details is on a roll. Having recently acquired Leading Edge Services and Performance Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning, it has now taken on paint protection specialist Perfect Aviation.

Sharp Details, a PrimeFlight Aviation Services company, has acquired Perfect Aircraft, a North Carolina-based aircraft cleaning and maintenance firm.

“We look forward to expanding our presence on the East Coast through this acquisition,” says Sharp president Jim Garland. “Its team has a stellar reputation, and we look forward to building on its current footprint in the Carolinas.”

Perfect Aircraft is a full-service aircraft appearance company, with experience in aircraft detailing and paint protection services. Through this acquisition, Sharp Details is now able to support customers throughout the Carolinas, including at Wilmington, Southport, Oak Island, Winston Salem, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Raleigh, Charlotte, Concord and Statesville.

“I am excited about the opportunity this acquisition brings to our team,” explains Perfect Aircraft founder and CEO Dillon Callahan. “Not only am I proud that we are part of Sharp Details' growth and expanded footprint, but I look forward to working with the entire network to build on our brand and customer base as I move into a sales role with the company.”

Founded in 1994, Sharp Details provides both interior and exterior aircraft cleaning for the general aviation industry. With operations at more than 40 airports across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas and California, the company offers a wide range of cleaning services including wet and dry washing, waxing, Teflon paint protection, leather protection, interior restoration services, transient support and more.

In March, Sharp Details acquired the business and assets of Leading Edge Services, a Texas-based aircraft cleaning and service company, while in December last year it took on T Brennan and Performance Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning.
