Recently, a 2016 Ford Mustang GT underwent our Entry Dry Ice Cleaning package, paired with the advanced protective coating, IGL Coatings Aegis. This combination provides the ultimate care, ensuring this muscle car looks and performs its best.
In this post, we will explore the details of the dry ice cleaning process and the protective benefits of IGL Coatings Aegis, illustrating how these steps work together to preserve and enhance the Mustang's condition.
The Importance of Preparation: Dry Ice Cleaning
Before applying any protective coating, preparation is crucial. Our Entry Dry Ice Cleaning package is designed to rejuvenate your vehicle's surface and remove years of built-up grime, salt, and dirt.
Dry ice cleaning uses solid carbon dioxide pellets to blast away contaminants without water or harsh chemicals. This method effectively reaches hard-to-clean areas, such as wheel wells and undercarriages, which are often at risk of corrosion due to environmental exposure.
Benefits of Dry Ice Cleaning
Non-Abrasive: Unlike traditional methods, dry ice cleaning is gentle and safe for various automotive surfaces, preventing scratches.
Eco-Friendly: This cleaning method is non-toxic and helps reduce the need for harmful chemicals, contributing to a healthier planet.
Enhanced Preparation: Clean surfaces ensure that protective coatings adhere better, leading to increased longevity and effectiveness.
After the dry ice cleaning, the 2016 Ford Mustang GT was ready for the next step, providing an ideal foundation for the application of IGL Coatings Aegis.

Applying IGL Coatings Aegis: A Revolutionary Anti-Corrosive Solution
After the thorough dry ice cleaning, we proceeded to apply IGL Coatings Aegis. This coating is known for its revolutionary anti-corrosive properties, bolstered by cutting-edge graphene technology.
What is Aegis?
IGL Coatings Aegis is a C5-rated protective coating, highlighting its excellent resistance against corrosion, salt, and various environmental threats. Its unique formulation offers:
Over 6,000 hours of salt exposure resistance: Perfect for vehicles often exposed to harsh weather or coastal environments.
More than 4,000 hours of water exposure resistance: Aegis forms a protective barrier that safeguards critical components from rust.
This level of performance reduces the risk of rust significantly while also simplifying maintenance for vehicle owners, giving them peace of mind that their investment is protected.
Why Choose Aegis?
Opting for Aegis means choosing an exceptional defense against corrosion. Here are a few reasons that make this coating stand out:
Durability: The advanced graphene technology ensures a strong bond to the vehicle's surfaces, versatile against ongoing environmental stressors.
Glossy Finish: Aegis also enhances the vehicle's appearance with a deep, reflective shine, ensuring the Mustang looks its best.
Self-Cleaning Properties: The hydrophobic nature of Aegis helps repel dirt and grime, making it easier to maintain the vehicle’s polished look with less effort.
