The CD test takes approximately 4 hours. There's the class portion and then 10 written tests.

The SV test takes approximately 2 hours for a single student to go through. The person must demonstrate their knowledge of proper car detailing procedures using the tools, pads, products made available in the class.


One of the cool benefits when taking the tests here is Autogeek's Show Car Garage is spacious, well-lit and fully self-contained. We have everything needed to hold professial gread car and boat detailing classes and thus we have everything to conduct thorough IDA CD and SV Certification Testing.


Well lit, roomy, fully stocked with tools, pads and products....

Got my IDA - CD & SV certification earlier this year.

While it doesn't make you a professional detailer, I feel that it gives you more credibility.

Almost like if someone was deciding on which mechanic to take their car to. They will probably choose one that is ASE certified over one that wasn't.

Yes credibility was what I really meant.I think it's a great idea to post those on Facebook or a website.

Good stuff! Congratulations and it's really interesting to me that this "certification" idea has finally come to realization after many years of being bandied about on the forums.

Thanks for flying down from New Hampshire to attend the class. It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you.

Hope to see you at a future Competition Ready Detailing Class, you'll have a blast and learn a TON of information and techniques in three fast-paced days.
