Today on Shmee150, we witness the audacious act of intentionally damaging a brand new Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Yes, you heard that right. This car, only one day old, is about to undergo a series of tests to prove the effectiveness of paint protection film (ppf). Shmee takes us to Ceramic Pro Chicago, where the team is ready to prepare the Beast, the Dark Horse, for some epic adventures.
But before we dive into the action, let's take a moment to appreciate the sheer beauty of this Mustang. Shmee has chosen the Oxford white color, giving it that Stormtrooper look. The vinyls on the hood, with the Mustang Dark Horse lettering in dual-tone grays, add a touch of aggression. Now, the question is, what will Shmee do with these vinyls? Will he remove them and install new ones on top of the ppf, or will he go for the direct installation of ppf, potentially changing the look and appearance of the car?
To understand the importance of ppf, Shmee takes us to meet his friend Alex, who owns a 981 GT4 with nearly 100,000 miles on it. The car bears the scars of stone chips and road rash, a result of its extensive travels. Shmee emphasizes the need to protect his Dark Horse from similar damage, showcasing the stone chips on the side blades and the lower plastic front splitter of Alex's car. These chips not only mar the appearance but can also lead to lack of appeal and require expensive resprays.
With the Dark Horse now at Ceramic Pro Chicago, the team begins the process of installing the full ceramic Pro ultimate armor package. This package offers complete appearance protection with a lifetime warranty. It includes ppf installation and ceramic coatings on all smooth painted surfaces, plastics, wheels, lights, and glass. Shmee and Adam from Ceramic Pro discuss the defects found on the factory paint, such as dirt nibs and sanding marks, which will be addressed before the installation.
The highlight of the video is the demonstration of the self-healing properties of ppf. Shmee fearlessly attacks a test patch on his own car with a wire brush, creating scratches on the gloss black surface. But with the application of heat, the scratches magically disappear, leaving no trace behind. It's a sight to behold, proving the effectiveness of ppf in protecting the car's paintwork.
In conclusion, Shmee's bold decision to intentionally damage his brand new Mustang Dark Horse is not as crazy as it sounds. It's a necessary sacrifice to showcase the importance of ppf in preserving the pristine appearance of a car. With the full ceramic Pro ultimate armor package, Shmee's Dark Horse will be ready to take on any adventure, protected from the perils of stone chips and road rash. The self-healing properties of ppf are truly remarkable, ensuring that the Dark Horse will always look fresh and new, no matter what challenges it faces on the road.
