When it comes to protecting rare and exotic supercars, no corners can be cut. Every detail matters, every step must be precise, and the standard of finish has to be nothing short of perfect. Recently, we had the privilege of working on one of the most exclusive vehicles to ever come through our Doncaster detailing studio – the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider.

This incredible machine combines Ferrari’s cutting-edge hybrid technology with motorsport-inspired design, producing jaw-dropping performance wrapped in sculpted Italian beauty. But with such a valuable asset, there’s a serious responsibility: keeping it protected from the everyday risks of stone chips, scratches, and environmental damage.

That’s where Paint Protection Film (PPF) comes in. This case study takes you behind the scenes of how we meticulously prepared and applied Ferrari PPF in Doncaster, step by step, to deliver a flawless result.

Why Paint Protection Film in Doncaster is a Must for Supercars

Supercars like the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider aren’t just vehicles – they’re investments, collector’s items, and engineering masterpieces. With paintwork that’s often more delicate than you might expect, it only takes one careless stone flicked up on the motorway to leave an unsightly chip.

Paint Protection Film services are becoming increasingly popular among owners of high-end vehicles, and for good reason. Modern premium PPF is:

• Self-healing – light scratches disappear with heat or sunlight

• Hydrophobic – repels water and dirt for easier cleaning

• Impact resistant – protects against stone chips, swirl marks, and road debris

• Gloss enhancing – adds depth and clarity to the finish

For a Ferrari owner, PPF installation isn’t just an option – it’s peace of mind.

Preparation: The Key to Perfect Ferrari PPF

Before the film could be applied, the SF90 underwent an extensive multi-stage preparation process. This ensures not only perfect adhesion but also a finish that looks better than showroom standard.

Step 1: A Thorough Wash

The Ferrari was given a safe wash using pH-neutral shampoos and the two-bucket method. This removed dirt, dust, and grime while minimising the risk of swirl marks.

Step 2: Chemical Decontamination

We applied iron removers and tar removers to dissolve bonded contaminants like brake dust and road tar. This is vital for long-lasting PPF adhesion.

Step 3: Clay Bar Treatment

A clay bar was worked across the paintwork, removing any lingering particles and leaving the surface silky smooth.

Step 4: Careful Drying

The car was dried using soft microfiber towels and filtered warm air to eliminate the risk of water spots.

Step 5: Paint Inspection

Under professional lighting, we inspected every panel to identify imperfections such as swirl marks or scratches.

Step 6: Machine Polishing

We carried out a machine polish to enhance gloss and correct any defects. PPF locks in whatever is beneath it – so the finish must be perfect.

Step 7: Panel Wipe

Using isopropyl alcohol, we stripped away polishing oils to ensure a clean surface for bonding.

Step 8: Dust Removal

Compressed air was used to remove the finest dust and fibers – essential for a flawless application.

Step 9: Final Inspection

One last inspection confirmed the Ferrari’s paintwork was ready for premium PPF installation.

Applying Premium Ferrari PPF

With preparation complete, the real artistry began. Applying supercar PPF requires skill, patience, and an eye for detail.

Each section of the film was carefully cut, aligned, and applied. On a Ferrari like the SF90 XX Spider, with its dramatic curves, vents, and sharp edges, this is no easy task. Our experience in supercar detailing in Yorkshire ensures we can achieve a seamless, invisible finish – no bubbles, no creases, just flawless protection.

We paid special attention to high-impact areas such as the bonnet, bumper, side skirts, and rear arches, which are most exposed to stone chips and road debris.

The Result: Supercar Detailing at Its Finest

Once the work was complete, the transformation was remarkable. The Ferrari SF90 XX Spider left our Doncaster detailing studio with:

• A mirror-like gloss finish enhanced by the film

• Invisible protection that maintains the car’s beauty

• Long-term defence against chips, scratches, and environmental damage

The owner can now enjoy driving this supercar without worrying about stone chips or scratches, knowing the paint is protected by the very best Paint Protection Film in Doncaster.
