Aircraft washing isn't only about nice looking aircraft. It also forms part of a corrosion preventative strategy and facilitates inspection of the airframe (ie. dirt and grime isn't hiding something nasty). I can't think of any ADF aircraft that don't have a regular scrub and wash. For our F/A-18s based in Williamtown, it is absolutely essential that they receive regular washes, given that they are based in one of the most salt-laden environments in Australia.
