1. Maintaining Vehicle Cleanliness

The interiors of ultra-luxury cars like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale are often lined with very delicate and expensive materials (such as Alcantara or special leather). One might be concerned about preventing outdoor dust, mud, or small stones from damaging the vehicle's special mats and flooring.
