At San Diego Aircraft Detailers, we understand that maintaining a private jet's interior requires attention to detail, proper cleaning techniques, and care for delicate cabin materials.
Our team recently completed an extensive interior detailing project on a Bombardier Challenger 604 at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) in Carlsbad, California. The project included deep interior cleaning, upholstery stain removal, sofa shampooing and extraction, leather treatment, and detailed attention to the aircraft's cabin.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the work involved.

A Closer Look at the Challenger 604 Interior
The Bombardier Challenger 604 is a large-cabin business jet designed for passenger comfort, featuring spacious seating, luxurious upholstery, and carefully finished interior surfaces.
Over time, even well-maintained aircraft can develop upholstery stains, accumulated dust, and wear from regular passenger use.
For this project, our goal was to thoroughly refresh the cabin while treating its interior materials with care.
Deep Cleaning and Upholstery Stain Removal
One of the main areas requiring attention was the aircraft's three-seat sofa, which had noticeable soiling and stains.
Our team performed a targeted upholstery cleaning process that included:
Careful inspection of the affected areas
Treatment of upholstery stains
Sofa shampooing and extraction
Removal of accumulated dirt and residue
Final inspection of the cleaned upholstery
The extraction process focused specifically on the sofa rather than the aircraft's carpeting.
Our goal was to improve the upholstery's appearance while respecting the materials and construction of the aircraft interior.

AFTER — Challenger 604 Three-Seat Sofa
Following our deep upholstery cleaning, shampooing, and extraction process, the three-seat sofa was refreshed and carefully arranged with its cushions, pillows, and blankets. The result is a cleaner, more comfortable, and inviting private jet cabin.
Leather Seating Care and Interior Detailing
In addition to the sofa cleaning, our team performed detailed cleaning throughout the passenger cabin.
Special attention was given to leather seating, armrests, passenger areas, and frequently touched surfaces.
Our interior detailing work included cleaning and treating leather surfaces, addressing visible stains, and refreshing cabin areas that require regular attention.
Proper leather care is an important part of aircraft interior maintenance. Using suitable products and methods helps maintain the appearance and condition of premium cabin materials.
BEFORE — Challenger 604 Leather Seating
During our interior inspection, we identified visible stains and discoloration on the leather seating surfaces. These areas required careful cleaning and attention to help restore their appearance while protecting the aircraft's delicate interior materials.

Galley and Cabin Organization
A clean aircraft interior involves more than passenger seating.
During this project, our team also attended to galley and storage areas, organizing cabin items and addressing areas that can be overlooked during routine cleaning.
These finishing touches help create a cleaner, more organized, and welcoming environment for passengers and crew.

Our team removed the old melted ice water, unwanted items, and leftover refreshments before thoroughly cleaning and reorganizing the storage compartment.
AFTER — Challenger 604 Galley Storage
Following the removal of leftover beverages, melted ice water, and unwanted items, our team thoroughly cleaned and reorganized the galley storage compartment. Wine and champagne bottles were neatly arranged, restoring a clean, organized, and well-presented storage area.
The Finished Result
The project required three team members working approximately five hours to complete the extensive interior detailing.
From upholstery stain removal to leather care and cabin organization, our team focused on delivering a thorough and professional cleaning experience.
