So far, there has been no value that I can perceive from any of the detailing associations that have quickly come and gone.

Re: New Detailers Association

If anyone has an expectation that for $50 you would get this whole big bunch of value ... I suggest one stop sniffing the carnauba.

Specifically, in the beginning, one should ask … what can I do for the Association?

Otherwise, point made ... industry is a bunch of technicians, lacking in appropriate business skills.

Honestly, I question the viability of a Detailing Association ... not because of the Association, but because of the industry

IMHO

I was a member of the PDA in the mid 90s. All my money got me was a news letter about stuff I should already know. Nothing about group insurance or any real certification ever materialized.
