Turtle Wax's You Are How You Car is a wacky new campaign that likens vehicle care to self-care, proving that pampering your vehicle can be just as satisfying as pampering yourself. According to a Turtle Wax-commissioned survey, 75% of American drivers want their vehicle to reflect the best version of themselves, yet only 18% strongly feel like it does.
This bold global Turtle Wax campaign kicked off with a pair of surreal commercial spots, Pamper and Face It. While Face It depicts drivers as their "car-self," or CG faces atop metaphorical car "bodies," Pamper reimagines a full car care routine with familiar rituals like shampooing, buffing to reveal a brighter glow and getting into difficult-to-reach areas for the freshest feel.
