• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

My Skybolt was painted in 1997, and the paint is a bit faded and oxidized, particularly on the upper wing. Yesterday I worked on several sections with "Wash & Wax", "NuShine", and "Turtle Paste Wax." None of the processes brought back the color nor removed a visible "film" to my satisfaction. (And the Turtle wax was VERY difficult to remove and buff.) Any suggestions for a better product/process?
