2017 Ford Mustang GT – Opti-Coat Pro Plus – Year Round Protection

This is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Limited. It is truly beautiful. My client actually had to go out of town to find this 2017 Ford Mustang GT. The limited edition paint on this 2017 Ford Mustang GT is actually a limited color run for Ford in 2017. It is Lightning Blue. I’m guessing Tampa Bay Lightning? It is I think, coincidental my client is a Tampa Bay Lightning fan as well. My client called to discuss with me what he wanted done. We talked about what his options were. As we talked, I discovered that he is a “car guy” meaning he is very particular about everything to do with his 2017 Ford Mustang GT. He had bought everything he could find at all major detail suppliers with the idea that at some point he would find something that really worked long term.



Opti-Coat Ceramic Coating or Paint Protection Film

We talked about Ceramic Coatings and Paint Protection Film (PPF). If you are looking for protection from rock chips, then PPF is the way to go. Incidentally if you click on the link for PPF, it will take you to a friend of mine that has been doing window tint and PPF since 1985. Mark is the absolute best in the Ocala Marion county area. PPF does offer some gloss but nothing like Opti-Coat Pro Plus.

Opti-Coat Pro Plus Ceramic Coating

He decided on Opti-Coat Pro Plus ceramic coating. This is without a doubt the most durable coating on the market today. Opti-coat Pro Plus was originally designed for the harsh weather in Saudi Arabia. There is a common joke among Opti-Coat installers ” If you are ever watching the news and they show you a video from Saudi Arabia, of an abandoned Lamborghini, covered in sand. It’s not abandoned, it’s just been sitting there for over an hour.”

Installation of Opti-Coat Pro Plus Ceramic Coating on 2017 Ford Mustang GT

The installation process of any ceramic coating is quite long. Clients are usually stunned at how long and intricate the installation is. Opti -Coat Pro Plus is no different. This was a brand new 2017 Ford Mustang GT when he bought it. It still had some micro marring from the dealership that needed to be removed. I achieved this by polishing the light scratches out of the paint. When I got done with it the paint had an amazing gloss and every scratch was removed. Part of the Opti-Coat service installation is to remove light scratches. When a vehicle has deep scratches we have to charge and extra fee because it requires more time. After the polishing we have to completely remove polish, and old wax then decontaminate the paint surface. All this must be done to allow the coating to bond with the molecular structure of the paint.
