An aircraft cleaning specialist went viral on TikTok after revealing he earned an impressive $16,000 in a single day after being urgently called to clean a private jet valued at $25 million.
The professional, known as UDETAILERS, shared that he received an emergency message from a client and, even though he was off-duty, he canceled his plans to respond to the immediate request. The amount received included $12,000 for the full cleaning, $3,000 for the urgent fee, and another $1,000 for travel costs.
According to him, this type of urgent work represents a significant portion of his annual income, with $1.2 million coming from extra fees for rush calls and travel. In this case, the cleaning of the jet, which was set to fly the next day, involved exterior washing as well as the removal of insects and bird droppings. Although the plane wasn’t very dirty, the demand for perfection and tight deadlines justified the high fee charged.
The man explained that, even with challenges like the absence of an elevator in the hangar, which forced him to manually carry ladders, the service was completed following a meticulous process to avoid stains on the paintwork.
The story sparked curiosity on social media, with many users interested in learning how to enter the field, although the professional emphasized that success depends on reputation, technical skills, and availability to serve high-end clients at any time.
