Aston Martin DBS Superleggera protection and care

The DBS Superleggera sat at the top of Aston Martin's front-engined range, with a wide grille, a vented bonnet and a large rear diffuser. The Volante adds a fabric roof, and the 770 Ultimate closed the line. These are cars to keep, so BLN Auto Lab protects every panel with film, corrects the paint only as far as it needs and looks after the leather and any carbon-fibre trim inside.

What protection does a Aston Martin DBS need in the UAE?

For an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera or 770 Ultimate in the UAE, BLN Auto Lab recommends full-body paint protection film, because its long vented bonnet, wide grille and sculpted haunches are expensive to repaint. The flagship borophene coating then goes over film and paint. BLN inspects the car free of charge in Sharjah before any work is agreed.

Where to protect first

Where the DBS needs protection

  1. Wide grille and splitter

    The DBS's wide grille and the splitter beneath it sit low and forward, catching gravel, tar and ramp scrapes before any other part of the car.

  2. Vented bonnet

    Sand and grit collect in the bonnet vents and can scratch the paint when they wash out, while the bonnet's front edge chips at highway speed.

  3. Haunches, doors and sills

    On long GT drives, sand from the front wheels pits the lower doors, sills and the leading curves of the haunches, which are hard to repaint invisibly.

  4. Rear diffuser

    The large rear diffuser sits low under the tail, so steep ramps and kerbs can scrape it, and exhaust soot settles into its channels.

Recommended

BLN's treatments for the DBS

  • PPF (Paint protection film)

    Full-body film is the natural choice for a DBS, covering the vented bonnet, bumper, haunches, sills and boot lid, with film trimmed neatly around each vent and a 10-year film warranty (terms apply).

  • Upholstery

    Leather and Alcantara work for seats, dashboards, headlinings and door cards, matched to your Aston Martin's colours and stitching.

  • Ceramic coating

    Ceramic protection rated 9H, in 3-year or 5-year systems, that helps rich Aston Martin colours shed dust between hand washes.

  • Borophene

    Borophene suits a DBS kept for the long term: it goes on over the film and any uncovered paint, and scheduled studio inspections track the finish over the years.

Finish and materials

What we take care with

  • If your DBS has exposed carbon-fibre parts, such as a splitter or mirror caps, clear film protects their lacquer from stone chips and light scuffs.
  • On a DBS Superleggera Volante, sand is brushed from the fabric roof and its seals, and the material is treated with a protector made for fabric.

Good to know

Aston Martin DBS questions

Can PPF be fitted around the bonnet vents on a DBS Superleggera?

Yes. Film is laid over the bonnet and trimmed precisely around each vent opening, with edges finished so they sit flat and do not catch sand. BLN agrees the exact coverage at the free inspection, including whether edges can be wrapped into the vents.

Should a DBS 770 Ultimate be protected with full-body PPF?

For most owners, yes. A limited final edition is usually kept for the long term, and repainting any panel affects its originality. Full-body film helps keep chips and scuffs off the factory paint, and the film is backed by a 10-year warranty (terms apply).

How should I look after a DBS that is rarely driven?

Keep it clean, covered and checked. Store the car indoors under a breathable cover where possible, wash off dust by hand before it builds up, and never leave bird droppings or hard-water marks to bake in summer heat. For borophene-coated cars, BLN's scheduled studio inspections give the finish a regular check.
