    Re: IDA SV testing

    I worked with a lot of paramedics that passed the tests, I wouldn`t let them anywhere around my family! I took the IDA written test and found it to be extremely old school, I think you should have to have had some kind of "official " training before even being able to take the testing. I also don`t see the need for a detailers Union?

    Most of the Autopians here have a hard time staying abreast of all the latest products and we spend a ton of time on all of the forums. I`m not at all surprised the written test looked "old school". The industry is changing rapidly. I`d join an organization if they had a newsletter/blog that kept up with all the manufacturers new products and attended SEMA and all of the detailing expos all over the world.

    Face it, as a medic, there are two types. Thinkers and robots. When the doo doo hits the fan, the robots can`t find their way out of a paper bag.

    Re: IDA SV testing

    Ive found these organizations and "certifications" to not be my thing. Just as a PP said you can have a certification and still be a hack, and just cause you do not have a cert DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE A HACK so take a small step down from your soap box on that one, there are TONS of awesome detailers here who I am sure could teach some test taker alot about detailing LOL. I was a "certified" MECP mobile electronics installer for about 8 years and MECP never did a single thing for me. No one EVER asked me if I was...Id bet most here have never even heard of it and had to go look it up. That to me sounds ALOT like what IDA is and ever will be.

    I guess if you make your living from detailing the IDA certification would be tax deductible. That might take some of the sting out of the cost. Is Detail Fest tax deductible?

    If you are a business, yes.

    I had a guy on the AG side ask me about giving out receipts and I had to warn him about the IRS and hobby vs business. IMO if you give a receipt you are in business and you need to pay taxes, cut and dried.
