1. Will all washes be done on the wash rack? Do we do spot clean on ramp where the aircraft is parked etc... If not where?

Answer: All washes are done on the wash rack. Random spot cleaning could be done on the parking ramp if a truck is available to reach the top the T-Tail (65Ft. high). If a truck is not available to spot clean on the ramp, then the aircraft would be towed to the wash rack for spot cleaning.
