At Assetti Performance, we treat every car like a masterpiece—but some machines demand an extra level of reverence. Case in point: this stunning yellow Ferrari F12 TDF. A rare breed of Italian engineering and style, the F12 TDF is more than just a car—it’s a statement. Which is why its owner brought it to us for top-tier protection using XPEL Ultimate Plus Paint Protection Film (PPF).

Why protect the F12?

The F12 TDF (Tour de France) is not your average Ferrari. With its naturally aspirated V12 engine, aggressive aero package, and limited production numbers, it’s a high-performance collectible built for both the road and the track. That brilliant Giallo Triplo Strato paint? Absolutely eye-catching—but also vulnerable to everyday hazards like stone chips, scratches, and road debris.

So how do you preserve such a work of art while still enjoying it as intended? Enter XPEL Ultimate Plus.

What is XPEL Ultimate Plus?

XPEL Ultimate Plus is a self-healing, high-gloss polyurethane film designed to provide invisible protection. It shields your car’s paint from:

• Stone chips and road debris
• Minor scratches and swirl marks
• Environmental contaminants
• UV rays and oxidation

With its self-healing properties, light scratches literally disappear with the heat of the sun or warm water—leaving the finish pristine.

The Assetti Process: protected with care and attention to detail

As with any other installation, our goal was seamless, full-panel coverage with maximum protection and minimum visual impact. Here’s how we did it:

1. Detailed Preparation
Every great PPF job starts with preparation. We performed a multi-stage wash and decontamination, followed by paint correction to ensure the surface was flawless before film application. No point protecting imperfections, right?

2. Custom Coverage
We used XPEL’s DAP (Design Access Program) templates to precision-cut film for each panel, ensuring edge-to-edge coverage with minimal seams. On this Ferrari, we covered:

• Door edges, mirror caps, and high-touch areas
• Full front end (bonnet, bumper, wings, headlights)
• Side skirts and lower doors
• Rear arches and impact zones

3. Expert Installation
With film like XPEL Ultimate Plus, installation is everything. Our certified technicians applied the film using a combination of custom-fit patterns and hand-stretching techniques for perfect alignment and zero distortion.

4. Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice
We finished with a thorough inspection under the natural outdoor light to ensure no trapped air, silvering, or stretch marks. The result? A flawless, protected finish ready to take on the world—or the racetrack.

Why it matters

This Ferrari isn’t just a showpiece—it’s driven. And with XPEL Ultimate Plus PPF, it can be enjoyed without compromise. The film is virtually invisible, yet adds a layer of security that lets the owner drive with confidence. It also comes with a 10 year warrenty so if any damage should occur, the panel will be replaced at no extra cost.

At Assetti Performance, we believe protection should never come at the cost of beauty. With XPEL, it doesn’t have to, and that’s why its the one and only film we will ever use!
