“Turtle Wax is an iconic Chicago brand making it a natural partner for the Chicago Auto Show,” said Tony Guido, Chicago Auto Show chairman. “Many are surprised to learn that Turtle Wax products are found in more than 90 countries across the globe, so we feel especially lucky to have them based right here in our backyard.”

This year, Turtle Wax has added a robust lineup of special events and detailing demonstrations within its South Hall exhibit – appealing to both car enthusiasts and everyday consumers. Special guests range from famous YouTube personalities to dynamic detailers including Pan the Organizer, Jimbo from Auto Detailing Podcast and Brian Spitler from APEX Auto Detail.
