As a part of their ongoing charity program, Ziebart headquarters selects a charity to sponsor each year. Throughout the year, the Troy office organizes a number of events to help raise money for the sponsored charity. In years past, Ziebart has sponsored charities such as the South Oakland Citizens for the Homeless, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Make-a-Wish Foundation, American Heart Association and Manna Community Meal (Soup Kitchen). For 2011, Ziebart selected Habitat for Humanity of Michigan as their sponsor charity. According to Lauzon, Ziebart has a long heritage in Michigan having been established here over 50 years ago. “We feel it’s important to give back to our community and it’s even better when we can support a charity organization that is locally based. We knew that by supporting Habitat for Humanity of Michigan we would not only be helping Michigan residents but the local economy as well, and that is a win-win for everyone.”

Funds were generated using a variety of events such as 50/50 raffles, a silent charity auction and even a penny war. “Our goal was not only to raise money for a great organization, but have fun doing it”, says Mr. Lauzon. Ziebart headquarters employs 35 full-time employees and was able to raise $4,000 Habitat for Humanity of Michigan. “I’m amazed each year at the generosity of the staff here at Ziebart. The local economy affects us no different than anyone else and yet we are consistently able to find extra to help those in need,” says Mr. Lauzon.

With cold and flu levels on the rise, it is more important to think about proper vehicle cleaning and protection.

Ziebart International, the leader in vehicle appearance and protection, recommends you deep clean your vehicle’s interior at least twice a year to keep it clean and germ free. A deep cleaning includes the following:

1. A thorough vacuum and spot-cleaning of all fabrics and carpeting using an anti-bacterial detergent that kills 99% of the bacteria in your vehicle.
2. Extracting all dirt, grime and any residual detergent.
3. Cleaning and conditioning all leather, vinyl and trim.
4. Meticulously detailing the dashboard, air vents, instrument cluster and all glass.
5. For long term protection, make sure a fabric protection treatment is completed to help guard against any stains and spills and to help reduce fabric wear.
