Intakes and aero
Complex openings and sculpted edges require careful pattern placement.
Stripes and details

★★★★★Questions owners ask
Straight answers before you book.
Can PPF be fitted around Ferrari stripes and badges?
Yes. Apex inspects the exact stripe, badge and paint configuration before deciding the cleanest film and edge route.
Is full-body PPF recommended for a 296 GTB?
It is the broadest preservation route. Full-front or extended coverage can still be appropriate where use and ownership plans support a narrower scope.
Can the film be ceramic coated?
A compatible coating such as Gtechniq HALO can be discussed after the PPF scope is set to improve maintenance and water behaviour.
How long does installation take?
Timing depends on vehicle condition, film choice and coverage. Apex confirms the expected studio time after inspection and scope approval.
Can Apex quote from photos?
Photos and exact vehicle details help with initial guidance, but the final route is confirmed after the paint, trim and fitted exterior specification are checked.

When you're talking about supercars, few names command respect like Ferrari 296 GTB. With its stunning design, hybrid powertrain, and precision engineering, this machine deserves the highest level of care and protection. At Apex Detail Studio, we took that responsibility seriously by safeguarding this incredible vehicle with XPEL Ultimate Fusion Protection Film.
Let’s take you behind the scenes on how we preserved the beauty, performance, and value of the Ferrari 296 GTB—using nothing but the best technology and craftsmanship.
Why the Ferrari 296 GTB Deserves Ultimate Protection?
The Ferrari 296 GTB isn’t just a car; it’s a work of art. Every curve, every panel, and every detail has been designed for both beauty and performance. However, even the most finely engineered machines are vulnerable to the realities of the road—stone chips, scratches, UV damage, and environmental wear.
That's why protecting this masterpiece was not optional—it was essential. Installing a world-class paint protection film was the smartest move to maintain its flawless appearance for years to come.
Why We Chose XPEL Ultimate Fusion?
For a car like the Ferrari 296 GTB, not just any film would do. We selected XPEL Ultimate Fusion Protection Film because it offers a unique combination of hydrophobic properties, self-healing surface technology, and extreme clarity.
Unlike traditional PPF options, XPEL Ultimate Fusion is designed to repel water, resist staining, and heal itself from minor scratches under heat. It’s the most advanced protection technology available today—and perfect for a supercar that demands nothing less.
Precision Installation Using the DAP Precut Method
Applying a film on a complex vehicle like the Ferrari 296 GTB requires more than just skill—it demands perfection. That's why we used XPEL’s revolutionary DAP Precut method.
Instead of manually cutting film near the paintwork (which carries the risk of scratches), the DAP system allows for:
- Pre-designed templates matched exactly to the vehicle model
- Full tuck-in installation for seamless protection
- No badge or panel removal needed, reducing risk to delicate components
This precision not only ensures a perfect fit but also safeguards every contour of the Ferrari 296 GTB, without compromising its originality.
What Makes This Installation Exceptional?
Beyond just the film and technique, the Ferrari 296 GTB received a full pampering treatment to elevate its presentation:
- Comprehensive Paint Correction: Before applying the film, we performed a thorough polish to eliminate any swirl marks or microscopic blemishes. This ensures the surface underneath the film is as perfect as possible.
- Panel-by-Panel Application: Each body panel was individually treated with care, ensuring the film bonded cleanly with no bubbles, creases, or visible edges.
- Yearly Maintenance Plan: As part of the service, the client also benefits from a yearly inspection and maintenance package. This ensures the film stays in peak condition, year after year.
Every step we took had one goal: make sure this Ferrari 296 GTB looked even better after protection than it did fresh off the showroom floor.
The Benefits the Owner Gains
Choosing the XPEL Ultimate Fusion package for the Ferrari 296 GTB comes with lifelong advantages:
- 10-Year Warranty: Protection against yellowing, peeling, staining, and loss of clarity.
- Self-Healing Surface: Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat exposure.
- Enhanced Gloss: The car’s paint appears deeper and richer under the film.
- Reduced Maintenance: The hydrophobic topcoat makes cleaning easier than ever before.
- Resale Value Protection: A pristine exterior significantly boosts the vehicle’s resale value.
In short, it’s an investment in peace of mind—and an assurance that this stunning Ferrari will continue turning heads for years to come.
Why Protecting High-Performance Cars Matters?
In Dubai’s harsh climate, even the most expensive vehicles face intense UV radiation, blowing sand, and rapid temperature fluctuations. For supercars like the Ferrari 296 GTB, exposure to these elements can result in paint fading, surface oxidation, and even permanent etching.
A superior PPF solution like XPEL Ultimate Fusion acts as an invisible armor—preserving not just the look, but also the performance characteristics linked to aerodynamic surfaces.
Furthermore, for collectors and enthusiasts alike, maintaining a flawless finish on a Ferrari 296 GTB is a matter of pride and an important part of the ownership experience.
Setting the Gold Standard for Car Protection
At Apex Detail Studio, every project is more than just a service—it’s a passion. Protecting a Ferrari 296 GTB with XPEL Ultimate Fusion was a project that blended technical mastery, artful precision, and obsessive attention to detail.
If you own a performance machine or an exotic beauty, remember this: the road is unpredictable, but your car’s condition doesn’t have to be.
Trust Apex Detail Studio to safeguard your investment the right way—with craftsmanship that matches the quality of the car you drive.
