So often I read about "detailers" making a mess of a car, using old towels, rubbing in a circular motion, etc.

Why not create an Autopia Certification, whereby detailers could earn that marque of distinction by participating on these boards and taking a test of some sort, the same way a mechanic becomes AST Certified.

This would allow Autopia to ESTABLISH a baseline of knowledge for detailing, and consumers would be assured of knowing their detailer is knowledgeable and uses Autopia "Best Practices."

Of course this would be a slow process (Rome wasn't built in a day) but I CAN see the future when dealers' repair shops and independent detailing shops hang signs saying "Officially Certified Autopia Detailing Center."

We can raise the bar for the entire industry with the right business plan.

What do you think?
