What’s up everyone, Back in 2025, I made a decision that completely changed the trajectory of Blacklisted Autodetailing. I attended the first-ever 3-in-1 certification training at the absolute mecca of car culture here in Los Angeles: The Petersen Automotive Museum
I always want to be completely transparent with you guys. This training requires a real commitment of both time and money. But speaking from personal experience, making this investment in yourself pays massive dividends moving forward.
This is a 3-day immersive event packed with expert instruction, special guest presentations, and most importantly, the chance to build a network of friends and mentors you can truly lean on in this industry.
By the end of it, you don’t just get better at your craft—you walk away with three major credentials: your IDA CD-SV, a Sonax Certification, and becoming a Petersen Automotive Museum Authorized Detailer.
Here is the exact breakdown of how to sign up and the costs involved:
1️⃣ Step 1: Become an official member of the IDA (International Detailing Association) via their website.
2️⃣ Step 2: Pay for your CD (Certified Detailer) and SV (Skills Validated) exams directly through the IDA.
3️⃣ Step 3: Sign up with David Sanchez at the Petersen Museum. The fee for the 3-day event is $1,000, which covers all your hands-on instruction and your Sonax/Petersen certifications.
It is a demanding three days, but it is worth every single minute. On the third day, we all come together to celebrate one of the biggest steps you’ll take in your career.
If this fits your budget and you are ready to bet on yourself like I did, I highly encourage you to take the leap.
If you have any questions about the process, the costs, or my personal experience taking the class, my DMs are always open. Let’s grow together!
