Recommend that you use water that has these qualities:
pH between 5 and 8.5,
Chloride level less than 100 ppm.
NOTE: Water that has a high level of chloride and/or is acidic-alkaline can cause corrosion.
Treated water from city drainage can cause a risk of bacteriological contamination. Refer
to the local regulations.

Washing Guidelines
Airbus recommends that you apply the cleaning solution from the bottom to
the top of the aircraft in the sequence that follows (this prevents scratches
and runs)

Washing
Lower forward fuselage from the leading edge of the wing to the nose of the
aircraft,
Lower aft fuselage from the wings to the leading edge of the horizontal
stabilizer
Wing upper surface between the fuselage and the engine pylon,
Upper fuselage from the nose to the horizontal stabilizer,
Lower center fuselage, engine nacelles and wing bottom skin,
Tail cone, rudder, bottom and top skins of the horizontal stabilizer.
Wing top skin between the engine pylon and the wing tips.
Washing
In the THS apron area, it is important to point the spray from the front to the
rear. If you point the spray in the other direction (rear to front), cleaning agent
can go into the rear fuselage non-pressurized compartment.
Clean the areas around the sensors, probes and antennas by hand.
Rinsing
Let the cleaning solution soak but do not let it dry.
Rinse the areas around the sensors, probes and antennas by hand.
Adjust the water pressure and water flow to the required settings.
Hold the water gun at the required distance and angle.
You must always point the spray from the front to the rear of the aircraft.
Rinse the aircraft from the top to the bottom to remove all the cleaning
solution.
Never stop rinsing before the rinsing water becomes perfectly clear.
When you rinse the wings and the horizontal stabilizer, always complete this
step with the bottom skin.
Rinsing
Make sure that you rinse the surface sufficiently to remove all the cleaning
solution. Cleaning solution that stays on the aircraft surface can cause
corrosion.
It is not easy to remove dirty rinsing water runs when they are dry.

Cleaning of the Landing Gear Bays and the
Landing Gear Components
Make sure that each landing gear wheel/brake has a protection.
Use FILM - POLYETHYLENE and TAPE - ADHESIVE for the protection of all
rubber items, hinges and sliding assemblies.
Record the locations where you put adhesive tape.
Do not use high-pressure spraying equipment to clean the landing gear bays.
Apply Aqueous Cleaner-Aircraft Exterior Pressure Spraying - (Material No.
08-ABC1) with a SPONGE only on the applicable parts of the landing gear
bays and on the internal surfaces of the landing gear doors.
In the zones where access is not easy, apply Aqueous Cleaner-Aircraft
Exterior Pressure Spraying - (Material No. 08-ABC1) with a BRUSH -
BRISTLED, SOFT to remove all signs of grease and oil.
Cleaning of the Landing Gear Bays and the
Landing Gear Components
Manually rinse the applicable parts of the landing gear bays to remove all the
cleaning solution.
In the zones where access is not easy, use clean AIR SOURCE FILTERED,
DRY that does not contain oil to remove the remaining moisture.
Do not use high-pressure spraying equipment to clean the landing gears
Cleaning of the Flaps
Manually rinse the leading edge and the top surface of the flaps (do not use
spraying equipment) to remove the cleaning solution.
Make sure that the drain holes of the flap track fairings are not clogged. This
is to make sure that no water stays in the flap track fairings and to prevent ice
formation during the next flight.
Wait until the flap area is dry.
Do a general visual inspection of the flaps and the flap track fairings. Make
sure that there is no water in the flap track fairings or in the mechanical parts.
Apply the lubricant and the corrosion protection compound again, where
necessary
Final Check and Cleaning Touch-Up
All the aircraft surfaces must be clean and without dirty runs.
If there are remaining stains
Apply water on the dirty area.
Make a clean and dry Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material No. 14-SBA1)
moist with Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - - (Material No. 08-BAA9) or
Non Aqueous Cleaner-Petroleum Based - (Material No. 08-BBB1).
Directly rub the dirty area with the moist cloth.
Let the cleaning agent soak but do not let it dry. Rinse several times with
water.
Wipe the area with a clean and dry Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material No.
14-SBA1).
Final Check and Cleaning Touch-Up
If there are asphalt stains remove them with a SPONGE made moist with
Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - (Material No. 08-BAA9) or Non Aqueous
Cleaner - Petroleum Based - (Material No. 08-BBB1)
If there are other remaining stains (insects, etc...) Make them soft with water
and scrape them with a SCRAPER - PLASTIC and a SPONGE soaked with
water. Be very careful not to cause scratches on the surface.
