Ziebart International Corporation, which offers a wide range of services and products for cars and trucks, is perhaps best known for its rustproofing and auto protection services, its primary line of business for its first 30 years. In the 1990s, the company began focusing on expanding its products and services. As a result, its franchised and company-owned retail locations offer a range of professional detailing services, appearance protection services, window tinting, glass replacement and repair, car accessories (such as sunroofs and alarm systems), and truck and van accessories (including trailer hitches and spray-on bedliners) in addition to rust protection. In 1998, Ziebart entered into a co-branding agreement with Speedy Auto Glass and began offering auto glass replacement in many of its locations. Ziebart has also partnered to co-brand with Rhino Linings USA, which offers polyurethane spray-on liners for truck beds.
