At Tabula Rasa Fine Auto Detailing, we help owners protect high-performance trucks that see real road and trail miles. Recently, a 2025 Ford Raptor in Shelter Green came to our Chantilly, VA studio for full-body paint protection film, a ceramic coating and a Baja Designs pod light install.
Here’s why full-body PPF and ceramic are a smart match for a Raptor like this, and what we installed to keep that Shelter Green finish looking sharp.
The Ford Raptor is built for hard use: highway miles, gravel, dust and off-road trails all throw debris at the paint. Shelter Green is a deep, distinctive color that looks its best when the surface stays clear of chips, swirl marks and road film.
Paint protection film is a urethane layer that sits on top of the factory paint and absorbs rock chips, light scratches and contamination before they reach the clear coat. STEK DynoShield is a clear self-healing film that preserves the original color underneath while adding impact protection. Topping the film with STEK Final Coat ceramic makes the surface easier to wash and helps water and dirt release, so the truck stays cleaner between washes.
Our team at TR Detail completed a full protection and lighting package on this 2025 Ford Raptor:
Full-Body STEK DynoShield PPF: Clear self-healing paint protection film installed over the body to guard Shelter Green paint against chips and road debris. Learn more about our paint protection film services.
STEK Final Coat Ceramic: A ceramic coating made for paint protection film, applied over the DynoShield for easier maintenance and a slick, hydrophobic finish. See our ceramic coating services.
Baja Designs Pod Light Install: Baja Designs LED pod lights mounted at the A-pillars to add forward illumination for early mornings, dusk and off-road use.
For this Raptor, we used products we trust for high-mileage and off-road trucks:
STEK DynoShield: A clear, self-healing paint protection film designed to absorb impacts and heal light surface scratches with heat while leaving the factory color visible.
STEK Final Coat: A ceramic coating formulated for PPF, adding slickness and easier cleanup on top of the film.
Baja Designs Pod Lights: Compact LED pods chosen for durable, usable light output on a truck that sees more than pavement.
The 2025 Ford Raptor left our Chantilly studio with full-body STEK DynoShield covering the Shelter Green paint, STEK Final Coat ceramic over the film, and Baja Designs pods installed at the A-pillars. The truck keeps its factory color and aggressive stance, with a clear protective layer and a finish that is easier to maintain.
