Restoring the original Air Force OneOwner of Silver Spring detailing shop chosen to restore retired presidential jet

Restoring the original Air Force OneOwner of Silver Spring detailing shop chosen to restore retired presidential jetBy Aline Barros Staff Writer
Bill Ryan/The Gazette
Carson Mangum of Laurel with his detailing equipment in Silver Spring.


Carson Mangum used to go to car shows with his father when he was a child. A passion for cars grew into a business.

Mangum now has a professional detailing shop in Silver Spring, We-C-Clean. It has been open for seven years.

“I love all cars. I just like making them look good,” he said.

Mangum, of Laurel, has embarked on a new project: aircraft detailing. Mangum was chosen as one of only 35 of the nation’s finest detailers to join the team to restore the original Air Force One presidential jet, a Boeing 707-120.

The project has been going on for 11 years.

On Aug. 10, Mangum traveled to Seattle, where he joined the team to help with the restoration project led by Renny Doyle of Attention to Details, a paint shop in California.

Doyle’s detailing team began restoring the presidential jet in 2003.

This year, the team worked on the Boeing 707-120 until Saturday.

“It was awesome [and] it was very cool,” Mangum said, adding that next year the team will come back for the last time to add the final touches to presidential jet.

“Each year, he [Doyle] takes 30 to 35 guys out and I was one of the guys this year. ... Lucky enough,” he said.

In February 2014, Mangum spent a week in California and went through Doyle’s Car Detailing School.

The Boeing served four U.S. presidents — Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon. Its final flight was from New York to its current home at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Inside Air Force One, Johnson took the oath of office after Kennedy was assassinated. That was the first time a woman, U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes, administered the oath of office to a president.

According to the White House website, the title “Air Force One” is used to describe any aircraft carrying the president of the United States.

Today, there are two customized Boeing 747-200B series with the capability of refueling midair. They are equipped with advanced secure communications equipment, which allows the aircraft to function as a mobile command center in the event of an attack on the United States.

Mangum said he was surprised and excited when he got the phone call from Doyle.

The team polished the outside and cleaned the inside of the presidential jet. Mangum said once the restoration is done, the plane will stay indoors at The Museum of Flight in Seattle.

“They’ve [the team] done a fantastic job. ... It just looks gorgeus. Absolutely gorgeous.” said Dan Hagedorn, senior curator and director of collections for The Museum of Flight.

Hagedorn said the aircraft came from Andrews Air Force Base and arrived in Seattle in 1996. The aircraft is a loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force to the Museum of Flight on what Hagedorn called an “indefinite” loan.

He said the plane most likely is “never going to leave here.”

Besides the Air Force Once project and the Silver Spring shop, Mangum also has a mobile detailing business.

In his car, he carries his own water for detailing projects, a generator for electricity, as well as all of the products and polisher equipment he needs.

“I have air for tools and even a tire pump for people’s tires in case they are low. ... Basically, we come to you and leave your car brand new,” he said. Read The Full Story At This Link

Car Paint Miracle

Xtreme Xcellence’s Rigo Santana & the Detailing Success Network Perform Paint Correction Miracles .

Damage to your vehicle’s clearcoat caused by environmental fallout like carbon black build-up, industrial pollution, and acid rain is to be expected, but when you take your vehicle to a so-called professional detailer, you certainly


do not expect them to burn away the clearcoat and expose the paint while supposedly polishing your beautiful automobile to a perfect shine!

The Challenge Unfortunately, it happens when you take your vehicle to an inexperienced detailer, and that is exactly what happened when Roger took his 2007 BMW to a non-licensed and non-certified detailer in Southern California for a routine exterior cleaning. The result was disastrous.

Desperately seeking a solution for how to repair the paint on his wounded Beamer, Roger hit the jackpot when he bumped into Orange County auto detailing professional Rigo Santana of Xtreme Xcellence.

Xtreme & Team to the Rescue! A member of the elite detailing team known as the Detailing Success Network, Rigo and his colleagues, led by mentor and master detailer Renny Doyle, just happened to be attending an Orange County training seminar in Lake Forest to receive their master certifications in the application of Gtechniq coatings.

“Roger was sick over the damage this guy did to his paint and was frantically looking for someone who could advise him on what to do,” Rigo says. “When he saw the high level of paint correction and careful handling of the paint our skilled team used while applying Gtechniq, he realized that if it could be fixed, we could fix it!

“The Beamer looked beaten up,” Rigo continues. “Over the lifetime of the car, you would not want to remove more than twenty-five percent of the thickness of the clearcoat, but this other so-called detailer had cut completely through the clearcoat nearly to the paint, almost destroying it.”

Multi-stage paint correction is an artistic skill that demands finesse, patience, focus, and an unfettered passion for perfection. Roger not only stumbled upon one of the finest paint correction specialists in the country, but Rigo was accompanied by the entire West Coast Detailing Success Network team ― the most experienced paint perfection specialists and detailers in the world, all under one roof!

“We look at this kind of project, where a reckless detailer has almost destroyed the value of this man’s investment, as well as the beauty of the automobile itself, and we go to work! This is what we do!” Rigo explains. “By pooling years of experience, all our resources, and sharing knowledge, we were able to bring the paint back and stabilize it well enough to save it. Once we accomplished that, we finished it off with a durable, long lasting protective sealant."

Overwhelmed by the results, when the team was finished with Roger’s 2007 BMW, it looked like he drove it off the lot new in 2013!

Now Roger can brag to his colleagues about how he had his car detailed by the same team of detailers who detail Air Force One and other museum treasures!

This belongs to a Long Branch Fire Fighter who wanted this incredible bike motorcycle protected with GTECHNIQ.

After ccorrecting the paint by carefully polishing the paint, I installed both a layer of C1 and Exo on the paint, L1 on the leather and Exo on everything else.

Upon finishing the detailing we performed on 7 custom classic cars for Barrett Jackson Scottsdale 2014, the cars were taken to the event and auctioned off Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.




The cars detailed were a 1948, 1950, and a 1951 custom Cadillac convertible, a 1959 Cadillac Flattop, a 1968 Pontiac GTO, a 1962 Lincoln Continental, and a 1940 Plymouth coupe completely custom with a Viper engine, drive-train, and Baer brakes. All cars either received signature level or concours level detail packages.
