Ashland auto detailer Mark Fowler and his son Travis are busy this week at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, detailing the Air Force One jet used by Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy from 1958 to 1962.
The sweeping blue-and-white Boeing 707 jet sits outside, getting punished by sun and rain, so it must be polished and given protective coatings every summer. This is the third year the pair has work on it.
“It’s an amazing experience working on this American icon, feeling what momentous decisions have been made on this plane that have affected the world,” says Mark Fowler. “It’s kind of overwhelming.
Things got discussed in the air that are still affecting us today.”
The Fowlers are donating their labor as part of a 35-member team who will work over six days. Their next job is detailing the French-built Concorde SST. Earlier, they detailed a B-29 bomber at the museum.
If they charged for it, it would cost up to $50,000.
Fowler was selected by his trainer, Renny Doyle of Big Bear, Calif., to be on the team. Son Travis, 21, was also trained by Doyle. They will be assisted by Fowler’s wife Chelle and daughter Brooke, 18.

Detailing Air Force One
Detailing Air Force One
See more videos click here. The first presidential jet plane, a specially built Boeing 707-120, is known as SAM (Special Air Missions) 970. This aircraft, as well as any other Air Force aircraft, carried the call sign "Air Force One" when the president was aboard. Delivered in 1959 to replace Eisenhower's Super-Constellation, the high-speed jet transport is a flying Oval Office with a modified interior and sophisticated communication equipment.
Jet technology gave a president the opportunity to meet face-to-face with world leaders easily. SAM 970 has carried presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon as well as VIPs such as Nikita Khrushchev and Henry Kissinger.
By 1962, SAM 970 was replaced by a newer Boeing VC-137C. But SAM 970 remained in the presidential fleet ferrying VIPs and the Vice-President until June of 1996.
This aircraft is on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

What is does professional detailing mean?
Professional Detailing can be defined as the systematic rejuvenation and protection of the various surfaces of a vehicle.
