Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything people usually ask before booking a detail with us. If your question isn't here, WhatsApp us on +27 71 966 0634and we'll answer properly.

How much does car detailing cost in Cape Town?

Kiff Detailing prices start at R450 for an Interior Detail, R550 for an Exterior Detail, and R900 for the full Kiff Signature Detail. The final price depends on your vehicle size — SUVs and larger vehicles cost more than coupes and sedans. Trucks, bakkies and fleet vehicles are quoted individually. You can see the exact price for your car before you book.

Do you come to me?

Yes. Kiff Detailing is a fully mobile detailing service — we bring the whole setup to your home or workplace anywhere in Cape Town. There's no drop-off, no queue and no waiting room. You carry on with your day while we work on the car.

What do you need on site?

Just a power outlet and a water tap at the address on the day. We bring everything else: machines, products, water hoses and lighting. If you're in an apartment or an underground parking bay without a tap nearby, message us first and we'll work something out.

How long does a detail take?

An Interior or Exterior Detail takes about 2 hours, and the full Kiff Signature Detail takes roughly 3h–4h. If you book more than one vehicle we do them all in the same visit, so the time adds up across the cars.

Can I book more than one car at once?

Yes. You can add several vehicles to one booking, each with its own package and extras, and we'll detail them all in a single visit. The price and the time on site are the totals across every vehicle — handy for households with two cars or a small fleet.

Which areas of Cape Town do you cover?

We cover 35 suburbs across Cape Town, from Melkbosstrand and Bloubergstrand down through Table View, Milnerton and Century City, into the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard, and out to the Southern and Northern Suburbs. If your suburb isn't on our list, message us — we can often make a plan.

How do I pay?

Payment is by EFT. A 50% deposit secures your slot and is due within 24 hours of booking, and the balance is payable once the work is done. We don't take card payments, and we never see or store your banking details.

Do I need to be there while you work?

Not necessarily. As long as we can reach the car, and there's power and water available, you're welcome to leave us to it. Plenty of customers book us at the office and collect a clean car at the end of the day.

Do you detail trucks, bakkies and fleet vehicles?

Yes — that's our Kiff Industrial service, which covers trucks, larger bakkies, commercial and fleet vehicles. Because size and condition vary so much, these are quoted individually instead of priced online. Send us the vehicle and its condition and we'll come back with a price.

What happens if it rains?

We'll contact you and move your booking to the next suitable slot at no charge. Cape Town weather turns quickly, so we'd rather reschedule than hand back a car we're not happy with. Your deposit carries over to the new date.

Is my deposit refundable?

Your 50% deposit holds your slot and carries over if we reschedule for weather or if you give us reasonable notice. Please see our Terms & Conditions for the full detail on cancellations.

How often should I have my car detailed?

For most cars in Cape Town, a full detail every three to six months keeps it in good shape, with an interior refresh in between if you do school runs, carry pets or eat in the car. Coastal suburbs are harder on paint — salt air means the exterior benefits from more frequent attention.

Ready to book?

Pick a package and a time that suits you. We'll hold the slot and email your invoice — no payment needed up front.
