All you have to do is whip it around the pattern a couple of times after
you wash it. It'll be fine. My plane sat outside for years before I
finally got my hangar. It was no big deal. You're being overly
obsessive.


I'd agree with that. Immediately after washing a plane, I'll fly it.
You've just done the most thorough preflight you'll probably do in a
while (it's amazing what you can find when carefully cleaning an
aircraft) so I might as well go and fly. We also put corrosion inhibitor
inside the wings as soon as we got the plane.

The best thing I found for getting rid of the grime was soap/water, then
a rinse, then wiping dry with one of those synthetic chamois things that
feel like chicken skin. Then a bit of car polish.

I'd bet the old Bonanza that had the corrosion problem didn't fly
enough.

Maybe early in its life -- but not now. The current owner is the only guy
on the field that flies more than we do.
