Ziebart Launches Nationwide “Detail for Dad” Contest for the Ultimate Car Makeovers

This Father’s Day, Ziebart is giving the gift of a pristinely clean vehicle to two lucky father figures with its “Detail for Dad” nationwide contest.

Whether it’s chauffeuring ballerinas and football players – and their smelly gear – to and from practice or serving as the designated driver for the family road trip, dad’s vehicle is well-loved, often losing that original “new car” look and feel very fast. Kids can nominate their father or father-figure to win a complete Interior and Exterior Detailing with Inner-Guard® Plus to breathe some life back into that “dad mobile.”

“Between carpools and road trips, there’s a lot of family time spent in dad’s car, which adds up to a lot of mess over time,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ziebart. “Fathers and father figures are aways active and on the move, and don’t always have time to deep clean their rides. We want two deserving dads to feel appreciated and loved with a car that looks and feels brand new.”

Children of all ages are invited to submit a 150-word story about why their dad deserves a Ziebart-worthy shine. Whether the entry comes from an adult child wanting to show Dad some love, or a younger child with the help from an adult, silly or sentimental stories are all welcome, as long as Dad doesn’t find out – this is a surprise!
