Before steering a 400‑location car‑care empire, Thomas A. Wolfe—now President & CEO of Ziebart International—logged 500+ sun‑soaked miles in a 1967 Dodge Coronet 440, driving it home from Florida to Detroit with his dad and brothers. The flawless run of that Bahama‑Yellow muscle car—and the rust that followed—ignited Wolfe’s passion for rust protection, paint‑protection film, and made‑in‑USA aftermarket gear that defines Ziebart today.
