Ferrari Roma and Portofino M protection and care
The Roma and Portofino M are front-engined grand tourers, made for long journeys and evening drives as much as for pace. Their long bonnets present a large painted area to the road, and the open-top versions add a fabric roof or folding hard top to look after. BLN Auto Lab protects the front with film, refines and coats the paint, and looks after the roof and leather cabin.
What protection does a Ferrari Roma & Portofino M need in the UAE?
The long bonnet is the first priority on a Ferrari Roma, Roma Spider or Portofino M in the UAE, so BLN Auto Lab suggests front-end paint protection film there and on the front wings, then a ceramic coating for easy upkeep. Roof care differs: fabric cleaner and protector for the Roma Spider, seal conditioning for the Portofino M. A free inspection in Sharjah comes first.

Where to protect first
Where the Roma & Portofino M needs protection
Long bonnet
The bonnet stretches far ahead of the cabin, so a large painted area takes stone chips and sand on highway journeys between emirates.
Front grille and lights
The front grille, lower intakes and slim headlights sit where grit hits hardest, and sand trapped in the grille openings is difficult to rinse out.
Rear haunches
The rear wings curve outwards over the wheels, and their leading edges chip as the front tyres throw grit rearwards on long runs.
Roma Spider fabric roof
Strong UV can fade the Roma Spider's fabric roof over time, and bird droppings or tree sap left on it in summer stain the weave quickly.
Portofino M folding roof
Dust left on the Portofino M's hard-top panels and in their seals can mark neighbouring paint and trim as the roof folds away.
Recommended
BLN's treatments for the Roma & Portofino M
- PPF (Paint protection film)
Film across the long bonnet in as few pieces as its shape allows, plus the bumper, front wings, mirrors and headlights; add the rear wing edges if you cover long distances.
- Upholstery
Leather and Alcantara re-trims, colour-matched stitching and seat bolster repairs for Ferrari cabins, planned and quoted after consultation.
- Ceramic coating
Ceramic protection, as a 3-year or 5-year system, keeps the large bonnet and rear deck slick, so sand and water spots rinse away with little effort.
- Graphene coating
Graphene coating lasting up to 7 years on corrected paint, applied over film and paint on Ferraris that are driven regularly.
Finish and materials
What we take care with
- The Roma Spider's fabric roof takes a dedicated textile cleaner and protector; paint coatings and polishes are kept off the fabric entirely.
- Portofino M hard-top seals benefit from a rubber-safe conditioner, which keeps them supple in summer heat and helps the roof close and seal cleanly.
- Grand-tourer cabins carry large areas of leather, which dry out and crease in UAE heat unless they are cleaned and conditioned regularly.
Suggested programme
A starting point for your Roma & Portofino M
Signature Protect pairs two-stage correction and ceramic coating with leather care and wheel protection, which suits a Roma or Portofino M used for regular drives; add front-end film.

Good to know
Ferrari Roma & Portofino M questions
How should I care for the fabric roof on a Ferrari Roma Spider?
Clean it gently and protect it regularly. Rinse dust off with the roof up, use a dedicated fabric cleaner, and apply a breathable protector so water and stains bead off. Park in shade where you can, since strong UV fades fabric over time. BLN treats the roof separately from the painted panels.
Is PPF worth it on the long bonnet of a Ferrari Roma?
Yes. A long bonnet presents a large painted area to highway debris, and chips across it are hard to hide. Front-end film covers the bonnet, bumper, wings and mirrors, and BLN plans the layout to keep visible seams to a minimum.
Can you fix swirl marks on a Ferrari Portofino M?
Yes, in most cases. Swirls and light wash marks sit in the clear coat and can be reduced by machine polishing chosen after checking paint depth. Deeper scratches are assessed at the free inspection, and BLN explains what correction can realistically achieve before any work begins.
