What Sharp Details, Inc. does

Sharp Details, Inc., doing business as Prime Appearance, is a US-based aviation appearance-services provider that has been operating since 1991 and is part of the PrimeFlight Aviation Services group headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas. The company delivers interior and exterior aircraft detailing, leather care, paint protection and brightwork polishing, commercial aircraft cleaning, and customized flight-department support programs for aircraft owners, fractional operators, OEMs, and MRO facilities. Service delivery combines more than 50 fixed airport locations with mobile detailing teams that reach more than 200 airports, allowing customers to maintain consistent appearance standards at home base and while traveling, and to integrate appearance work into OEM delivery and scheduled MRO downtime events.

The business model is service-based, with revenue generated from one-time detailing engagements, recurring appearance programs for flight departments, and integrated contracts at OEM production facilities and MRO locations; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting aviation operators and flight departments, supported by a website, newsletter, and direct service-request forms. Operationally, the company runs a vertically integrated supply chain through its in-house Aviation Cleaning Supply (ACS) division and shares customer relationships with sibling PrimeFlight businesses including PrimeFlight Cargo, Garsite, PrimeFlight GSE Maintenance, and Skytanking, creating a multi-service airport presence. The company does not disclose revenue, operates with approximately 41 employees, and shows no AI, software, or API capabilities in the available data, with growth appearing steady rather than accelerating.
