Prep that sets the tone

On the hangar floor, where mornings start with checklist calm, Pbs Prep clears the slate so the work ahead looks crisp and certain.

Between weather and will

A clear start on cold mornings

Made for the boot line

Old boot treatments cling, dulling the surface and making each new pass feel like a compromise.
Pbs Prep softens and lifts those layers, so you’re not sealing yesterday’s film into today’s work.
The de-ice boots read clean again—ready for what’s next.

Clean that shows

When the surface is truly bare, the next treatment settles in with confidence.
Hangar time shortens, results look intentional, and the routine feels less like chasing buildup and more like caring for an aircraft that carries people you know.

For the quiet perfectionist

Aircraft owners and maintenance crews who care how a boot line looks and performs after every service.

In the hangar, step by step

Mask painted edges, apply Pbs Prep to de-ice boots, let it sit briefly, agitate with the specified sponge, wash with neutral pH soap, then dry before moving to Pbs Boot Sealant.

Brand Perspective

Jet Stream Aviation Products Inc.

Jet Stream Aviation Products Inc. began when technicians refused to keep using janitorial and automotive cleaners for aircraft work. Through trial and error they partnered with a chemical lab and an experienced chemist to develop aircraft-specific chemical formulations. Since the 1980s the company has refined those formulas; family owned and operated since 1981, the team brings more than 60 years of combined experience and has detailed roughly 50,000 aircraft. Their stated mission—to honor the LORD—shapes how they operate. For buyers this means practical, field-informed cleaners, surface protectants, and detailing solutions developed to meet the demanding, hands-on needs of aircraft care and maintenance.
