Fly Shiny Oil Delete Citrus-Based Degreaser – Aircraft Oil, Grease & Hydraulic Fluid Remover, 16 oz / 1 Gallon
Fly Shiny Oil Delete is a citrus-based aviation degreaser designed to remove engine oil, Skydrol, hydraulic residue, and grease from aircraft surfaces without damaging paint or metal. Its fast-acting formula breaks down contamination on contact, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing and helping prevent surface scratches during maintenance. Safe, biodegradable, and professional-grade, Oil Delete is ideal for cleaning engine bays, belly panels, and landing gear areas where oil buildup is common.
Fly Shiny Oil Remover
The Science
Oil Delete uses naturally derived citrus solvents that penetrate and dissolve petroleum-based contaminants at a molecular level. These solvents break the chemical bonds that allow oil, Skydrol, and grease to adhere to aircraft surfaces, allowing residues to lift and wipe away without abrasion. Because the formula is free of harsh petroleum distillates, it won’t strip paint, cloud composites, or etch metals.
As the citrus agents emulsify the contamination, surfactants encapsulate the broken-down residue so it can be removed safely without smearing or redistributing the oil. This controlled cleaning action reduces friction during wipe-downs, helping prevent micro-scratching on sensitive painted and brightwork surfaces. The biodegradable chemistry delivers strong degreasing power while maintaining environmental responsibility and aircraft surface integrity.
Degreasing System
CITRUS-BASED OIL BREAKDOWN
Oil Delete uses natural citrus solvents to penetrate and dissolve oil, Skydrol, and grease at the molecular level, making heavy residues easier to remove.
SURFACE-SAFE CLEANING
The formula lifts contamination without harsh chemicals or heavy scrubbing, helping protect painted surfaces, composites, and polished metals from scratches or damage.
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
Biodegradable and free of petroleum solvents, Oil Delete delivers professional cleaning power while minimizing ecological impact.
HOW TO USE
Step 1: Spray Oil Delete directly onto contaminated areas.
Step 2: Allow a short dwell time for the citrus solvents to break down residues.
Step 3: Wipe or rinse the area clean.
Step 4: Repeat for heavy buildup if needed.
Pro Tip: Ideal for belly panels, landing gear areas, and engine bays where oil and hydraulic fluids accumulate most.

Deletes oil and grease like you wouldn't believe
Great products, make keeping your airplane, clean and shiny
The client was extremely blown away by how he could actually see the difference from what was the oil stains on the landing gear of his airplane. The oil would never have been removed with just soap and water. I find it easy to trust many products that actually work, and I want to be able to go to a product I've used like this one. Whatever the case, the oil delete is something I have to have in my cleaning kit, even though I may have other degreasers. Provided I ever run out. I have a process of going back and washing them off ofter theyve done their work.
Works great!
