Important note
We recommend that the film be replaced every 24 months for
Avus White, Alloy Grey, Nürburgring Silver vehicles, which may
show a light visible tarnish due to dirt inside the pores of the
film.
It is to be understood that a timely and accurate cleaning (monthly
washing and wax twice a year at least) will prevent deterioration.
Cleaning and care of the leather upholstery
As indicated in the "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE" (see "Warranty
Booklet"), proper and regular treatment, at least once a year, will
help preserve the quality, natural characteristics and softness of the
leather upholstery in your Ferrari.
With this in mind, specific leather care products are also available
("Cleaner" and "Cream") both tested by Ferrari.
These products can be ordered through the Ferrari Spare Parts
Service Department, both individually and as part of the "Care
Kit" which includes the complete range of products for cleaning the
vehicle.
Important note
For use of the "Care Kit" products, contact the Ferrari Service
