PROJECT DETAILS:

Premium Detail + 2-Step Paint Correction (Exotic), SunTek PPF, Windshield Protection, Window Tint, & Modesta Coatings



PREPARATION WASH

In order for a car to truly shine, it needs a good scrub! We started off this project by giving this Ferrari a good deep clean. Our preparation wash is designed to completely decontaminate vehicles so that they're prepped and ready for polishing, paint protection film, or ceramic coatings. This involved:

• Double-bucket handwash to safely lift dirt
• Iron and exterior fallout removal to neutralize bonded contaminants
• Clay bar treatment to restore paint smoothness and reveal true surface condition

LEVEL 1 PAINT CORRECTION (EXOTIC)

Ferraris are known for their stunning paint. Still, even exotic-level finishes can develop micro-swirl patterns, faint holograms, and light marring — especially on vibrant reds where everything shows. To maximize smoothness and eliminate any imperfections (however minor), we treated this Ferrari to a thorough paint correction. Our Level 1 Correction uses a two-stage process, first using a dual-action machine polish with a light corrective compound to address faint swirls, and then going into a refinement stage to increase clarity, crispness, and gloss.

After about 3–4 hours of this process, the surface transforms from “very good” to “optically precise” — laying the perfect foundation for PPF and an advanced auto ceramic coating.

FULL-FRONT PPF + ADD-ONS

For a car like this, protecting the paint isn’t optional — it’s essential. The front end is the most vulnerable part of any exotic, constantly taking the brunt of high-speed impacts, road debris, and everyday wear. That’s why we applied a full-front PPF installation with wrapped edges, covering the bumper, hood, fenders, headlights, mirrors, and fog lights.

But PPF does far more than simply guard against rock chips. A high-quality film adds clarity, depth, and a soft satin glow to the finish, enhancing the paint rather than hiding it. It also creates a physical barrier that absorbs impacts before they ever reach the factory clear coat underneath, dramatically reducing long-term damage and preserving the car’s value. Modern film technology also fights back against chemical staining, insect acid, and harsh environmental factors—common threats to any high-performance vehicle.

We also added custom PPF to the doors and rear splash areas, reinforcing the zones that tend to take secondary impact from the wheels. This extra coverage keeps the lower panels from premature wear, and abrasion that can dull even the best paint jobs.

Addressing all of these key areas ensures that protection extends to every part of this Ferrari, leaving no area vulnerable and susceptible to damage.

MODESTA BC-05 (body)

Once the Ferrari’s paint and PPF were perfected, we then sealed the entire vehicle with Modesta BC-05, widely recognized as one of the best ceramic coating products in the world. BC-05 forms a durable, three-dimensional glass layer that provides an intense wet-gloss finish. It's how you achieve that commercial-ready, showroom look with your own ride. In terms of practicality, it also provides:

• Up to 10 years of protection
• Exceptional hydrophobic properties
• Superior resistance to oxidation, UVA/AVB rays, chemical stains, and fallout

BC-05 is an optimal choice for those looking for the ultimate in luxurious coatings, and where only the best will do.

Windshield Protection Film — Clarity Meets Impact Resistance



To complete the protection package, we applied our preferred windshield protection film (prep wash not included) —a nearly invisible layer engineered to defend against pitting, micro-chips, road debris, and the everyday hazards that can quietly degrade clarity over time. While thin and virtually undetectable, this film delivers a substantial boost in durability, helping the windshield resist impact and repel environmental contaminants more effectively. It’s a practical upgrade that improves visibility and keeps one of the vehicle’s most exposed surfaces looking pristine long after it leaves the studio.

SunTek Evolve Ceramic Window Film

To further enhance the Ferrari’s comfort and refinement, we applied SunTek’s Evolve Ceramic Window Film across the front windows and rear glass. This advanced ceramic film blocks heat, mitigates UV damage to the interior, and maintains exceptional optical clarity without compromising privacy or looks. The result is a cooler cabin, better protected leather and trim, and a sleek, elegant appearance to perfectly match the stunning exterior. It’s a subtle upgrade that delivers year-round benefits, especially in climates that get a lot of sun, where heat load can take a toll on both the driver and the vehicle.

MODESTA BC-06 (wheels & calipers)

Ferrari wheels endure some of the harshest conditions on the road—intense brake heat, constant contamination, and the fine metallic dust that can etch into unprotected finishes. To safeguard this vehicle’s wheel surfaces, we applied Modesta BC-06, one of the most advanced high-temperature coatings available.

BC-06 forms a true hard glass barrier through a chemical reaction that bonds directly with the wheel’s painted surfaces. Its tightly packed molecular structure creates a dense, long-lasting shield that remains stable up to 1,300°C, meaning it can withstand extreme instances of heat  produced by high-performance braking systems. This level of heat resistance prevents burning, staining, or embedding of brake dust—one of the most common causes of premature wheel wear on exotic vehicles.

The benefits extend beyond durability. BC-06 significantly reduces the amount of grime and metallic debris that can cling to the wheels, allowing them to stay cleaner for longer and making regular washes dramatically easier. The coating’s slick surface also enhances visual clarity, giving the wheel faces a deeper, richer finish that complements the Ferrari’s Rosso Corsa paintwork. For an exotic like this, it’s an essential line of defense that keeps one of the vehicle’s most striking characteristics looking immaculate, all with minimal maintenance.

A WORK OF ART, COMPLETE

WHY IT MATTERS

A Ferrari is pure craftsmanship on wheels. And what better way to honor that craftsmanship than to give your vehicle the treatment it deserves? Even the most pristine car can benefit from advanced protection - because exposure, mileage, sun, and the like don't discriminate. When you combine selective paint correction, precision-installed PPF, and a world-class auto ceramic coating, you extend the life of the finish, reduce maintenance needs, minimize depreciation, and preserve the artistry that is so integral to the Ferrari name.
