Signature adds the engine bay and upholstery to a full clean. Executive is a different job: a deep clean, clay bar and polish on the paint, and conditioned leather and fabric. That’s where the step up to R2000 goes.
Extra charges may apply for added services, difficult conditions, or travel beyond our standard 15km radius from Arden Grove, Milnerton. We’ll tell you before we start. Business parks and apartment blocks: see how hosting works.
