TROY, Mich., June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziebart, the global leader in vehicle appearance and protection services fondly referred to as the "dad of the automotive industry," is honoring two deserving fathers with the ultimate automotive refresh just in time for Father's Day. Scott Sirianni of Streator, Illinois and Byron Mays of Morrow, Ohio have been named the winners of Ziebart's second annual "Detail for Dad" contest, each earning a complimentary Interior and Exterior Detailing package complete with Inner-Guard® Plus to help restore their well-loved "dad mobiles" back to that fresh, showroom-quality look and feel.
Fostering a Special Bond
Nominated by his son Camron, Scott Sirianni was recognized for the unwavering love and support he has shown throughout Camron's life after first becoming his foster father before officially adopting him into the family. Camron shared that his dad has always been by his side through every stage of life, from childhood milestones to school achievements and difficult moments.
"My dad, my fishing buddy, my best friend," Camron wrote in his nomination. "He was my foster dad and then adopted me and loved me just the same as my brothers and sisters. He's the one I can go to when my world is falling apart or when I get the best news at school."
Camron also admitted he may be one of the main reasons Scott's Ford Bronco could use a deep clean after countless fishing trips and outdoor adventures together. Scott will receive his vehicle makeover at Ziebart's Ottawa, Illinois location.
Military Dad Recognized for Love and Patience
In Ohio, Byron Mays was nominated by his 9-year-old son Zach, who shared a heartfelt tribute about his father's military background, hardworking nature, and patience despite the fingerprints and messes Zach leaves behind after fishing trips, ice cream snacks, and family outings.
"My dad deserves a car detail because he was in the Marines and the Army, so he likes everything clean and neat," Zach wrote. "Even when his car gets messy, he still takes me to do fun things with him. He always works hard and never complains."
Byron will receive his detailing service at a participating Ziebart location in the Cincinnati market.
About the Contest
Launched in May, the nationwide contest invited children of all ages to submit stories explaining why their dad or father figure deserved a professionally detailed vehicle ahead of Father's Day. Dozens of entries poured in from across the country, highlighting touching stories of fatherhood, sacrifice, mentorship, and family memories made behind the wheel. Winners were selected by Ziebart's panel of judges based on creativity, sincerity, and heart.
"Dads spend countless hours behind the wheel taking care of their families, and often their vehicles take the hit along the way," said Thomas A. Wolfe, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ziebart. "This contest is our way of recognizing fathers and father figures who go above and beyond every day. Scott and Byron's stories stood out because they capture the love, dedication, and selflessness that make fatherhood so meaningful."
