CHICAGO (Jan. 30, 2019) – Chicago-based Turtle Wax, Inc. is making its hometown shine at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, as the brand signed on as one of the Show’s newest premier partners.

“For many people, attending the Chicago Auto Show is an annual tradition, and we know bringing Turtle Wax on as a premier partner will help educate Chicagoans that Turtle Wax is a local company even though its products can be found in more than 90 countries worldwide,” said Chicago Auto Show Chairman Ray Scarpelli Jr. “We look forward to kicking off what will hopefully be a long-term partnership with Turtle Wax.”
Turtle Wax will also show its love for four-legged friends at the Chicago Auto Show by hosting pet adoptions on the show’s final day, Family Day, Monday, Feb. 18.
