A digitized version of the January issue of Professional Carwashing & Detailing provides exact reproductions of the entire 116-page magazine that was mailed to more than 18,000 subscribers in the commercial automotive service industry.

According to Publisher Mike Hilts, the January issue of the magazine is being offered in the online digitized version as a test to measure its popularity with readers and advertisers.

"If our analysis shows that our readers, our Internet visitors and our advertisers like this new online digitized version of the traditional printed magazine," said Hilts, "we may very well continue to provide it to the industry for future issues."

Articles include "The fundamentals of a clean carpet" and "Drug testing of employees."
