STP products for your car

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

STP is a brand name and trade name for the automotive additives and performance division of the Clorox Corporation. STP was Founded in 1953, the name, STP, was derived from “Scientifically Treated Petroleum”. The company entered the marketplace with STP Oil Treatment. In 1961 the company was acquired by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. Studebaker briefly tied STP into its advertising as an abbreviation for “Studebaker Tested Products”. However Studebaker-Packard felt that STP could one day out-pace its parent company and recruited a CEO of STP to help raise the product’s image. At the same time, Granatelli racing became the public face of STP, often wearing a white suit emblazoned with the red oval “STP” logo to races, distributing thousands of all-weather STP stickers. Granatelli ran two Novi specials at the 64 Indy 500. Jim Hurtubise and Bobby Unser were the drivers. There was a film made of the race centering on the Novis. While Studebaker abandoned auto manufacturing in 1966 to become a closed investment company, STP sales continued to climb. For a long time STP was the sponsor of stock-car drivers Richard Petty, John Andretti, and Mario Andretti. That ended shortly after its buyout by Clorox. STP offers alot of different products for example: stp fuel injector cleaner,stp oil filters,stp oil treatment,stp filter,stp oil filter,stp products,stp air filter,stp fuel injector,stp gas,stp gas treatment,stp son of a gun,stp oil and more.
