Labocosmetica Stress Test on Abarth 124 Rally IT
Keeping one's cars protected and clean for a long time is one of the challenges that the newly born detailing division Labocosmetica has set as its goal. This need is well known to all car enthusiasts and collectors who, more than ever, need to keep the beauty of their cars unchanged over time.
So we thought that testing the products during the famous Winter Marathon, a regularity race that lasts more than 12 hours through snow, ice and dirt roads, would be the best choice to carry out this test: no company has ever gone this far to demonstrate the performance of its products. To verify the performance of Labocosmetica treatments dedicated to the world of detailers, we wanted to carry out a very special "stress test."
Our Abarth 124 Rally, driven by the Marco Mattioli - Mario Pensotti crew, before the start of the Winter Marathon, was half treated with the following products:
- Aquavelox (Glass Coat) is a protector that creates a water-repellent barrier on the windshield facilitating visibility in rainy weather even without the use of a windshield wiper.
- Benefit (Hydro Sealant Wet Coat) is a hydro-sealant for waxes and protectants.
- Hydra(Hyper Dressing Sealant) is a dressing for interior and exterior plastics that provides a very high beading effect and protection for about 3 months.
- Revita(Wash & Coat Shampoo) is a neutral shampoo that can wash, seal, protect and give gloss and protection equal to nano sealants for at least 4 months.
All applied with extreme ease of use.
After traveling 1048 km through mud, snow and ice, our Fiat Abarth 124 Rally Spider returned to the Labocosmetica Detailing Center to check the performance of the protectants. Here we washed it only with water and pressure at 50 Bar: the result is disconcerting. Dirt that has accumulated on the half of the car treated with Labocosmeticawashes off very easily, keeping the underlying surface still clean and protected. In contrast, dirt accumulated on the half of the car treated with traditional products turns out to be anchored and difficult to remove with water alone.
So we were able to see with this extreme test, that using Labocosmeticatreatments, the car turns out to be more protected and less susceptible to road dirt. As demonstrated by the cotton swab test. As a result, cleaning is extremely easy even with just water without the use of a wash mitt. But we went further. To verify that Labocosmeticatreatments can last even with glove washing, we used Semper (Neutral Maintenance Shampoo with a High Lubricating Action). This is a maintenance shampoo. Its main characteristic is that it gently cleanses the chemical protection of Labocosmetica products previously used on the car without altering their special characteristics.
The Abarth 124 CSA Rally Stradale after the Winter Marathon was in truly remarkable dirty conditions. This test allowed us to confirm the very high protection and longevity of the effects resulting from the products of this brand new line destined to become a must for all detailers around the world.
