Care of the vehicle
• Any areas that are cracked or chipped by stones, scratches or
parking manoeuvres, etc., must be immediately repaired by the
Ferrari Service Network .
Important note
DO NOT lean against the vehicle especially if you are wearing
clothes with buttons, buckles or are wearing rings, necklaces,
etc. This may cause irreparable damage to the bodywork.
Important note
To use suitable products, contact the Ferrari Service Network .
Cleaning of protective antistone-chipping film (optional)
The film has been designed to protect the bodywork: anything that
damages the paint will also damage the film.
Warning
Do not pour denatured ethyl alcohol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol,
heptane or substances that contain these compounds on the
film.
• Do not apply adhesive elements on the film.
• When cleaning, do not use metal or abrasive substances in general
and acid chemical compounds.
Important note
Avoid the film coming into contact with the brake fluid: the film
will become opaque.
• Do not use solvents along the edges of the film to them from
penetrating inside the adhesive layer.
Important note
Nürburgring Silver, Avus White, Alloy Grey, Met Avio, Ivory,
Met Light Blue, Met Sky-Blue and Fuji White vehicles must be
washed every month and waxed at least twice a year so that dirt,
acid rain, pollutants, etc. do not penetrate the pores of the film
and cause it to tarnish.
Important note
We recommend that the film be replaced every 24 months for
Nürburgring Silver, Avus White, Alloy Grey, Met Avio, Ivory, Met
Light Blue, Met Sky-Blue and Fuji White vehicles, which may
show a light visible tarnish due to dirt inside the pores of the
film.
It should be noted that timely and accurate cleaning (monthly
washing and waxing twice a year at least) will prevent deterioration
of the film.
