The quality of MAFRA's products for racing cars.

To all crews registered for the Legend of Bassano, we provide a special "welcome kit" designed to face the race with a car in perfect condition. Participants can thus test the quality of Mafra products, all strictly "Made in Italy."

Killer: the ideal product for removing insect and midge residues from car bodywork and windshields. MAFRA's Killer is easy to use: simply spray the product onto the surface to be treated, leave it on for a few seconds and then rinse thoroughly. Diluted in the washer tray, it allows the wiper blades to easily remove gnats, ensuring the best visibility at all times. With Killer never again gnats and bugs on the car!
Plastic Care: the treatment that can clean, revive and protect any plastic surface. MAFRA's Plastic Care is a mix of detergents, beeswax and protective polymers that provides effective and gentle cleaning of surfaces without greasiness. Simply spray the product on the part to be treated then spread it using a microfiber cloth. Thanks to its special formulation, an effective anti-UVA and anti-static barrier is created that can reduce dust settling, while also preventing premature bleaching of plastics.
GlassCleaner: the ideal solution for streak-free window cleaning. MAFRA's Glass Cleaner cleans and degreases car windshields quickly and easily: the product sprayed on the glass generates a degreasing foam, which also helps the microfiber cloth slide effortlessly, allowing for an even result over the entire surface. Grease, smudges and fingerprints will no longer be a problem, as well as annoying glare at night, ensuring perfect driving visibility... whatever the conditions!

To date it has nearly 2,000 members all of whom are strictly historic car enthusiasts. The club is dedicated to Count Giannino Marzotto, a historic president and textile entrepreneur who also distinguished himself as a driver in the 1950s. A friend of Enzo Ferrari, Giannino Marzotto took part in numerous competitions driving the Cavallino cars, winning 2 editions of the Mille Miglia - in 1950 and 1953, and achieving a prestigious fifth place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1954.
