Cirrus SR20 / SR22 Owners
Ceramic coating is completely banned on Cirrus SR20/SR22 composite airframes. We will never coat your Cirrus — and that's exactly why owners trust us. Empire Aircraft Detailing protects your investment with safe, manufacturer-appropriate detailing that keeps your warranty intact.
The Facts
Cirrus airframes are built primarily from composite materials. Per Cirrus Service Advisory SA25-02, ceramic coatings are completely prohibited on these composite surfaces. Ceramic coatings can interfere with structural inspection of the composite, trap heat, and introduce chemistries the airframe was never approved for. Applying ceramic coating to a Cirrus can void warranty coverage and complicate airworthiness inspections. Any shop that offers to ceramic coat your Cirrus does not understand the aircraft.
Our refusal to ceramic coat your Cirrus isn't a limitation — it's a guarantee. It means your warranty stays intact, your composite structure remains inspectable, and your aircraft is cared for by a team that respects manufacturer guidance above a quick upsell. That's the Empire standard.
Compliant Care
pH-neutral hand washing and iron/contaminant decontamination that is safe for composite surfaces — no aggressive chemicals, no risk to the airframe.
Multi-stage swirl and oxidation removal on painted areas, restoring gloss without compromising the composite structure beneath.
Manufacturer-appropriate sealants and protective waxes that provide UV and environmental protection while remaining fully compliant with Cirrus guidance.
Polishing of spinner, exhaust, and metal accents to a mirror finish, keeping your Cirrus presentation-ready.
Deep cleaning and conditioning of leather, avionics-safe surface care, carpet extraction, and cabin freshening.
Every service is documented in a timestamped Departure Assurance Report so you have written proof of compliant care.
Questions
No. Per Cirrus Service Advisory SA25-02, ceramic coating is completely prohibited on Cirrus SR20/SR22 composite airframes. Empire Aircraft Detailing will never apply ceramic coating to a Cirrus under any circumstances. Any detailer who offers to ceramic coat your Cirrus is putting your warranty and airframe at risk.
Cirrus airframes are primarily composite (carbon fiber and fiberglass). Cirrus Service Advisory SA25-02 prohibits ceramic coatings because they can interfere with the composite structure's ability to be visually inspected, can trap heat, and are not approved chemistries for the composite surface. Applying a non-approved coating can void warranty coverage and complicate structural inspections.
