The detailing company was selected by the IDA Nominating Committee, stated the release, and the three finalists will be voted on by members of the association.
The Mobile Detailer of the Year Award is presented to an outstanding mobile detailing professional for his or her commitment to quality detailing work and who lives up to the IDA Code of Ethics, reported the release.
The winner of the award will be announced on Friday, Jan. 29, at the IDA Annual Business Meeting, continued the release, which will take place at the 15th Annual Mobile Tech Auto Recon Expo (MTE) & Detailer’s Forum in Orlando, Florida.
