Foleys Details is proud to be a member of the International Detailing Association (IDA) and is one of only two IDA Certified and Skills-Validated (CD-SV) Detailers in Dorset.

So what does being a Certified and Skills-Validated (CD-SV) Detailer mean?

The IDA CD-SV designation is a top achievement and demonstrates not only a mastery of the knowledge and applied skills needed by the detailing professional but the detailer has also undergone an intensive practical assessment by a national Recognised Independent Trainer (RIT) in all aspects of Valeting a vehicle.
