Who is the IDA?
The International Detailing Association is the leading industry association for professional detailing operators, suppliers, and consultants to the industry. The association is dedicated to promoting the value of professional detailing services, the recognition of professional detailing as a trade, and the empowerment of detailing industry professionals at each stage in their career.
The detailing industry is currently unregulated, which means there are no standards, licenses, or laws that govern the industry. With the detailing industry going through rapid growth, many people see the opportunity for high profit and start a business with little to no formal education or training — and the general public is not aware of the true technical skill and knowledge that is required to become a master of this trade.
It is the duty of the IDA to not only set the standard of what a professional detailer should be, but also to educate and certify professionals to help them deliver quality work to their communities. All IDA members agree to abide by the IDA Code of Ethics, so when you choose to work with an IDA detailer, you can rest assured that your vehicle will be taken care of by a true professional who is held to a higher standard of service.
