Renny Doyle Inducted into the 2020 IDA Hall of Fame

Renny Doyle was inducted into the very first International Detailing Association’s Hall of Fame Class.


Nominated from among his peers and voted on by the IDA Founder’s Club and all IDA Past Presidents with 85 percent of the ballots, the IDA Hall of Fame is the highest honor bestowed on a member of the Detailing Industry by the IDA. The award was presented to Renny at the IDA Annual Business Meeting held at the Mobile Tech Expo in Orlando, Florida on January 31, 2020.


Renny’s contributions to the detailing industry go above and beyond industry expectations and many will say his approach to teaching both the skillsets and the business side of detailing has been instrumental in rebranding the automotive appearance industry from a blue-collar soapy sponge & water bucket brigade into an innovative, precision-skilled business and lucrative career offering expertise in paint correction and protective ceramic coatings.


Not just a certified IDA detailer, Renny holds both a Certified Detailer (CD) and Skills Validated (SV) advanced certification in on-the-spot problem-solving, and he is a Recognized Trainer (RT) for the IDA with the ability to certify his own detailing trainees as IDA-certified detailers.



Also inducted into the IDA Hall of Fame 2020 Class were Detail Plus founder Robert “Bud” Abraham; Meguiar’s founder Barry Meguiar; William Phillips of P&S Sales; and Ed Terwilligar (CD-SV, RT) trainer at Southern California’s Cypress College.

IDA Hall of Fame Class of 2020 inductees: Robert Abraham, Ranny Doyle, Barry Meguiar, William Phillips, Ed Terwilliger.

We've all been there: yearning for that universal thumbs up, the constant validation. But here's the deal: the quest for everyone's approval is a recipe for disappointment.
