Thin Italian paint, carbon-ceramic dust, and splitters that scrape — exotics handled with PPF-first protection and concierge pickup.
Ferraris and Lamborghinis are built light, and the paint is part of that. Italian exotic finishes — Rosso Corsa, Verde Mantis, the Arancio oranges — tend to be thin and delicate, often over composite or carbon panels, which means correction is conservative and protection is aggressive. On cars at this level, the right answer is almost always paint protection film first.
Ferrari and Lamborghini paint is famously thin. These cars are engineered for weight, and the finish reflects it — there's less clear coat to work with than on a typical luxury car, and historic Ferrari paint in particular has a reputation for being delicate and prone to chipping. The colors are spectacular and unforgiving: Rosso Corsa, Giallo, Verde Mantis, and the MSO/Ad Personam specials show every swirl and demand a defect-free surface to look right.
Because the clear is thin and frequently over composite or carbon-fiber panels, we correct conservatively. We measure what's there, take the gentlest cut that removes the marring, and never chase a perfect number at the expense of the clear. On these cars the protection layer does the heavy lifting, not the polisher.
Usage drives the rest. Many of these cars see track days, spirited weekend drives, and long seasonal storage — so we deal with carbon-ceramic brake dust, bug and stone strikes on the nose, low front splitters that scrape, and the prep needed to put a car away or wake it up correctly for the season.
The damage patterns we see most on these specific vehicles.
Low, wide front ends and thin paint mean Ferraris and Lambos chip readily on the nose, splitter, and rockers. Full-front or full-body PPF is the standard protection at this level.
Track-capable carbon-ceramic brakes throw aggressive dust that etches wheels and lower bodywork. We decontaminate and coat wheels so it rinses off rather than baking onto exotic finishes.
Cars that hibernate need correct prep — decontamination, protection, and an interior treatment — so they don't develop spots or musty interiors. We handle the put-away and the wake-up.
On a Ferrari or Lamborghini, paint protection film is the headline. Thin, expensive, chip-prone paint over composite panels is exactly what PPF was made for. Most owners do a full-front package at minimum — bumper, full hood, fenders, mirrors, rockers, and A-pillars — and many go full-body, especially on track cars and rare colors where a respray is eye-watering. Self-healing film takes the stone strikes and swirls so the paint underneath stays original.
Over or under the film, a high-end ceramic coating adds gloss, makes the surface hydrophobic, and keeps carbon-ceramic brake dust and bug splatter from bonding. The wheels get their own coating given how much dust these brakes throw.
For storage clients we offer a full seasonal program: correct and protect before the car goes away, maintain it through hibernation, and prep it for spring. Everything can be done by concierge pickup to our controlled space, or on-site in your garage with our own lighting and water.
Exotic interiors are mostly Alcantara, fine Italian leather, exposed carbon fiber, and minimal trim — beautiful and delicate. Alcantara dash tops, headliners, and seat inserts are everywhere on these cars, and they're the easiest surface to ruin: scrub them and they shine and mat permanently. They get gentle, nap-preserving care only.
The leather is conditioned with appropriate products, the carbon trim is cleaned without hazing its lacquer, and the dash gets UV protection against the brutal sun load through that low, raked glass. On track cars we address the sweat and grime that spirited driving leaves on the wheel and seats. These cabins are detailed slowly and deliberately, the way the rest of the car demands.

Four steps. Quote to done at your driveway, garage, or storage facility.
We collect exotics by appointment to our controlled space, or detail on-site in your garage. The car never sits exposed at a public shop.
On thin exotic paint we protect before we polish. Full-front or full-body film is the right move, and we correct conservatively to preserve the clear.
Track season, show season, hibernation — we prep cars away and wake them up so they emerge spotless and ready, not spotted and stale.
Exotic ownership in the metro is a storage-and-season story. Most Ferraris and Lamborghinis here live in climate-controlled garages and collector facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the suburbs, come out for weekend drives and shows, and hibernate through the winter. They rarely see a normal wash and never belong in a tunnel.
We work on-site in private and collector garages, offer enclosed concierge pickup to our controlled space, and run a full seasonal program — correct and protect before storage, prep for spring. Discretion and a controlled environment are part of the service at this level.
