Official Raptor R PPF Thread

[Chizler22]

Where does this happen? I’m in MN.. never any issues on my cars in the long haul. Obviously ymmv but just curious.

Mainly in the south west. Sun and heat dry out the film and it will eventually crack and shrink. All films will do it.

xpel is a must. Especially on a truck that expensive.

Looks great, but he needs to take the headlights off and overlap. If you don't, you will have dirt built up on the edges.

For a vehicle this expensive that, regardless of price, also begs you to daily drive/thrash on it….yeah you gotta go w/ full PPF + undercarriage protection like Amsoil HDMP (or similar- can have done professionally where they get inside the frame rails too)

I also wouldn’t accept delivery from dealer of an R if it had ANY rust on the frame, pumpkin, axles- I’d say “NOPE - take it someplace & have that stuff re-coated or get me another new one that looks new”

+1 here. On white you will see a black line and it will drive you nuts.

Last April or so I traded in my Power Wagon for a poverty Raptor. A few days after I took a look under the truck and was shocked at all the rust and aluminum corrosion under the truck. It looked at least ten years old. I took it back to the dealership and they offered to undercoat the truck. I told the sales guy that it wasn't acceptable, he agreed and they rescinded the deal and gave me my Power Wagon back. Thank GOD they did and the only reason they did was that they could get more money for the truck than the deal I grinded them on. That truck sat in a lot through most of that Michigan winter and must have been driven on wet salty roads beforehand.

But when I took delivery of my Raptor R I didn't even look under it until I got home the next day. I knew that I'd still take the R even if it had rust, as it would be my only chance to get one at sticker. Who knows when and if I'd be able to get another. Luckily the undercarriage looks great.

Nice - so get some product underneath to keep it that way!
