That’s a Wrap! 2022 Air Force One Detailing Team Photo Gallery

Rsz Afo 2022 Team Photo

Veni, Vidi, Vici… We came, we saw, we conquered! The 2022 Air Force One Detailing Project is in the books, and not only did we accomplish our goals, but we had a great time doing it.


This year, Renny Doyle led a team of 30 volunteer detailers, hand selected from among The Detail Mafia to continue the preservation of The Museum of Flight’s Air Force One, B-29, Concorde, Lockheed Constellation, Boeing 727 and other planes in the museum’s care.


The project was made possible because of a number of industry sponsors that stepped up with a financial commitment to support the team….


Platinum Sponsor
P&S Detail Products


Gold Sponsors
Flex Power Tools
Buff and Shine Mfg.


Silver Sponsors
Dynabrade
The Rag Company
RoadFS by Zenware
IK Sprayers
Grit Guard
Angelwax
AutoFiber


Bronze Sponsors
Urable
Dr. ColorChip
IGL Coatings
Autogeek
RaggTopp


We also had a number of companies and individuals step up to help feed the crew with a meal sponsorship… Detailer’s Helper, Miami Luxe Detail Supplies, Detail Plus, Kimball’s Hands-On Detailing, SB3 Coatings, Jim’s Auto Installations & Detailing, Urable, Uber Detail, Wheel Woolies and GlassParency.


It was a great team and a great event. Next year, we will be returning in July for the 20th Anniversary of the event. In the meantime, here is a gallery full of highlights of the 2022 Air Force One Detailing Team…
