Now Available for Private Aircraft! 

Arrow Magnolia has been supplying airlines and corporate owners with industrial-strength cleaning supplies for years. Because of demands for large quantities, these chemicals were previously available only in large drums. Now through a special arrangement with Arrow Magnolia, Sporty's® offers these supplies in smaller quantities, better suited for your aircraft. We have used these products for years on everything from rentals to Hal's personal Aztec and feel confident you will be impressed with their performance.

Carbon-X

Removes exhaust deposits, fuel stains, oil and grease from the underside of fuselage, engine cowlings, wheel wells, etc. Dilutes 20 to 1; just spray on, let soak, then rinse clean—scrubbing is not necessary. Pleasantly scented and stainless, it leaves no oily film or residue. Safe to use on all aircraft finishes including exotic metals and composites. Also cleans driveways, motorcycles, boat and car engines. For use with dilution spray bottle. Meets Air Force Specification MIL-C-25769-E. 

Gallon size will last an entire season--a great value!

Pros
Just works better than anything else I've used. Grease, bugs, oil, dirt all wipe right off. And a little goes a long way--I get over 6 months out of one gallon jug.

Cons
Have to dilute the product, so you can't use it right out of the bottle. But this is well worth it--you get a lot more out of one bottle.

General Comments
If I could only have one cleaning product, this would be it. Carbon-X and a good rag can keep any airplane clean.

easy to use. alittle goes a long way

Cons
buy a good set of spray bottles from hardware store. the ones that Arrow Magnolia send don't seem to hold up well,and the tops don't seem to fit that well either.

General Comments
I really like this stuff. it cuts through the bug guts and the gunky mess that always finds it's way onto the belly. spray it on and wait a few seconds for it to penetrate, then wipe off with a clean dry cloth. you will need to change rags frequently because it cleans so well. Doesn't hurt the paint.

A great product. Carbon X is what I have used for years to clean our King Air 200. I used to get it from the local FBO who purchased it in bulk. Now that it is available by the gallon, I just order a gallon or two as needed!
