Barry Theal joins us as we ask the question, what would it take for the detailing industry to be regulated and do you think it should be or could it be? This question has many variables to it, and everyone might not think it's a good idea, but we still have to ask it.  With so many detailers complaining about how easy it is for just anyone with a bucket to get into this industry, maybe regulating it or making certifications mandatory might be the way to go.  On the flip side every one of us got into this industry, because we left a car wash or because we had a love for cleaning our own cars.  If a mandatory certification was required how many of us would be here today?  The IDA is an organization that detailers look to to help make those certified stand out more to the consumer. Some detailers feel that the IDA doesn't do the things they say, and they have complaints about that.  Barry did a great job helping us answer some of the questions about the IDA while still letting us know that they have their faults and are working on them.  While this is a question that will probably spark some controversy we hope that it gets people thinking.  Both sides of the argument need to understand that until we start working together and bridging the gap things will never change.
