We're proud of the fact that Turtle Wax, a veteran in the automotive industry with top-quality products, continues to find ways to support the lifestyle of the individuals and community behind the vehicles themselves. It's synchronicity at its best as we share a parallel mindset," said Kathryn Miclat, director of brand partnerships, HIN. "We can't wait to unveil some amazing vehicle builds at each tour stop and create unique digital content for millions to enjoy! This definitely is going to be one of the best HIN Tour Seasons yet."
