Congratulations on your purchase of a 2024 Ford Mustang featuring durable, self-healing, and scratch-resistant PPG matte clear film. Here, you'll find important owner information related to the maintenance of this automotive film technology.
Your vehicle’s finish requires special care and maintenance that is different from spray-applied clear coats. Please adhere to the following guidelines for proper cleaning and maintenance as it is crucial in preserving your vehicle’s low-gloss appearance for years to come. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in damage to your vehicle’s finish and void your warranty.
Do's and Don'ts Care Instructions
Do This

DO hand wash with a soft wash mitt and mild cleaning product safe for automotive exterior finishes. NOTE: Using a garden hose is the best way to remove heavy soiling and debris before washing.
