COLUMBIA, Md. — The future president runs a successful detailing business and hopes to help other detailers operate as legitimate businesses.

COLUMBIA, Md. — The International Detailing Association (IDA) has chosen Robert Schruefer, founder of On the Spot Detailing as its president-elect, according to a press release.

Schruefer will be formally installed as president during the organization’s annual meeting in Orlando Jan. 17, said the release.
