01
Approved Products Only
We follow each aircraft owner’s or manufacturer’s cleaning rules and approved product list. Where none exists, we default to the most conservative option available rather than the most convenient one.
Who You’re Dealing With
About
Jonah Siepe Jansen van Rensburg & Antonio de Souza
Founders
Hi, we’re Jonah and Antonio
We clean aircraft,
properly.
We are two students at Stellenbosch University. Around the airfields here we kept seeing aircraft worth millions cleaned by whoever happened to be free that afternoon — nobody was offering this as a specialism. So we learned to do it properly and put every free hour into building SAAD.
Come along as partners and follow the journey with us, as we build the biggest aircraft detailing company in South Africa.

Stellenbosch, Western Cape

Questions before you enquire? Email saaircraftdetailing@gmail.com, call Jonah on 076 271 6565 or Antonio on 066 306 9978. If a full detail is not what your aircraft actually needs, we would rather tell you that than take the job.
Credentials
Certified, Precisely
SAAD is IDA Certified, a credential awarded by the International Detailing Association on completion of its ten written examinations — covering chemical and equipment use, interior detailing, paint protection, surface correction, and safety and compliance.
How We Operate
Rules We Do Not Bend
02
The Right Method for the Surface
Leather, fabric, acrylic, painted composite and polished metal each want a different approach, and what is correct on one will mark the next. We match the method to the material every time rather than running one routine across the whole aircraft.
03
Nothing Gets Dismantled
We never remove bolted-in parts or open inspection panels. That is maintenance, it is regulated, and it belongs to a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer — not to us.
04
Documented Both Ways
Photographs before we start and photographs when we finish, shared with you. It protects your aircraft and it protects us, and it means nobody has to rely on memory.
Where we work from
Stellenbosch, Western Cape
We are a mobile service, so the aircraft never has to move for us — we come to your hangar or stand. Stellenbosch is our base, and we work across the Western Cape as standard, travelling further for fleet contracts and multi-aircraft work by arrangement.
Your flight programme sets the timing, not us. Daytime, evening, overnight or over a weekend — we take whichever window leaves the aircraft free, and work around it.
