The Vision
In the world of supercars, the Ferrari 488 Pista stands as an embodiment of pure performance and driving pleasure. However, as with all performance machines, maintaining its appearance after spirited track use can be a challenging task. Our recent encounter with a client’s 488 Pista perfectly encapsulates this scenario.
Our client is an ardent track enthusiast who put his 488 Pista through its paces at several track events. The thrill of speed and the roar of the engine came at a high cost, though. Without any Paint Protection Film (PPF) installed, the vehicle’s paintwork suffered extensive damage from rock chips, leading our client to send his car back to Ferrari for a complete repaint.
With the car freshly repainted by the experts at Ferrari, the owner sought to prevent any future paint damage. That’s where we at SpeedEFX came in.
Our first task was to protect the Ferrari’s new paintwork, preserving the pristine finish that the experts at Ferrari had applied. For this, we turned to Xpel Ultimate Plus PPF, a high-quality film known for its durability and clarity. We meticulously applied the film to the entire body of the 488 Pista, including the car’s carbon fiber accents and aerodynamic elements. This protective layer will shield the Ferrari from the ravages of future track days, ensuring it always looks as good as it performs.
With the PPF in place, we turned our attention to adding an extra level of protection and ease of maintenance. We achieved this by applying a ceramic coating over the entire car. This hydrophobic coating not only enhances the gloss and depth of the paintwork but also repels dirt and grime, making the car easier to clean.
The result is a Ferrari 488 Pista that is now fully armored and ready for many more days at the track, all without having to worry about the state of the paintwork. The PPF and ceramic coating serve as an invisible shield, protecting the vehicle while allowing its beauty to shine through.
This project perfectly illustrates our commitment to preserving the beauty and integrity of our clients’ vehicles at SpeedEFX. Whether your car needs a total transformation or meticulous protection like this Ferrari, we’re here to help.
