When Ferrari first introduced the 458 Italia, it generated an excitement around the world. And when we see one of these dream machines, we expect them to be awe inspiring and perfect in every way. However, upon closer inspection and with our own concours analysis, they can sometimes fall short of this expectation. This 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia in Nero was in need of paint correction.

Products are often times developed for certain applications and vehicles. In this case, a 2011 BMW 550i that has been meticulously cared for by its owner was prime candidate for 22ple. The brake dust often generated by BMW is a burden that most BMW owners have to bear, but in this case the owner had his wheels protected with 22ple which will make them easier to maintain for up to one year.
