We are up and running again! To keep our clients safe we will be wearing gloves and face masks. We will also be limiting the number of clients we detail in a week. This will give us time to do extra cleaning and sanitizing of tools and equipment and limit the number of people we come into contact with. We can also limit face to face contact and arrange for keys to be left and payment left in the vechile or take card payment over the phone. We also ask for patience as we get caught up. We have clients who we've had to reschedule and clients who reached out during the quarntine. We will be reaching out to everyone in the order the requests came in. Of course we are working around the weather as well. Thank you so much for your support and patience!

COVID-19 Follow-up

We wanted to let you know that as of today (April 6, 2020) we will be halting detailing operations in compliance with Virginia Governor Northamโ€™s executive order #55. The auto detailing business community has been generally operating in the gray area of these orders, aligning under the umbrella of auto repair shops as justification of an โ€œessentialโ€ business. We feel that the semantics of creating these loopholes is counterproductive to our industry and ultimately dangerous to us as detailers and to you, our clients. On average, we detail 10-12 vehicles per week. The risk of contracting the virus and unknowingly spreading it to potentially dozens of subsequent clients is simply too great at this time.

Our initial reaction was to sanitize interior surfaces via steam cleaning, but additional research indicates that the amount of heat necessary to kill viruses via steam cleaning would actually result in damage to automotive interiors. Furthermore, a blast of steam could dislodge viruses from surfaces, making them airborne where they are most dangerous. Only certified bio-hazard clean-up companies are qualified and equipped to handle these situations.

We got into this business to primarily assist people with maintaining the aesthetic value of their vehicles with a side benefit of feeling good about driving a clean vehicle. Pandemic risk analysis/mortality rates of our clients are far beyond the scope of any business in this industry. As many of our clients are elderly or otherwise high risk, we understand that we are neither necessary nor essential to them during these times and will not unnecessarily place them at risk.

As the pandemic progresses (these next 2 weeks are critical according to the CDC), we will continually reassess our options. If you already have an appointment scheduled, we will contact you individually to make new arrangements for a later date. We are already beginning to fill slots from June 11th onward. As things begin to improve, we may begin offering exterior only details with zero face to face client interactions and communication/payment handled electronically.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Stay healthy!

Shaun and Robin

At Driven Detail, we continue to provide our clients with auto detailing services based on the guidance of the IDA (International Detailing Association). We have made the following accommodations and adjustments to ensure the safety of our clients as well as ourselves:

1) At no time is face to face human interaction necessary for us to provide detailing services. Appointments will be handled via email, text, Facebook Messenger, or phone. At the time of service, the car may be remotely unlocked for us or the keyfob may be left in a designated location. Also, as keyfobs are notorious hotspots for germs, we will sanitize them. Payment via check may be left in the vehicle and credit/debit card payments will be taken over the phone. Receipts and invoices will be emailed. For our safety, we will wear nitrile gloves and if available, face masks/respirators. We will not use N95 masks as they are in high demand by medical professionals.

This includes door handles/pulls, seatbelt handles/latches, steering wheel, control stalks, radio/hvac buttons, shift lever and cup holders.

3) Ozone generator treatments: While the CDC and the EPA have not yet provided guidance on ozone efficacy in destroying COVID-19, ozone has been proven to destroy the SARS Coronavirus. COVID-19โ€™s protein, lipid and RNA structures are similar to SARS and the consensus is that it is destroyed in the same manner. Ozone fragments the outer lipid layer of viruses via oxidation. Once this layer is removed, the DNA/RNA can not survive. ๐—ข๐˜‡๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ณ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ($๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ) ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ/๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€/๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€.
