Tinting Tip: for dot matrix simply dont wet the dot matrix when applying tint just wet the tint itself( remember you have to clean and the glass and squegee it )you can wet the rest of the glass but dont wet the matrix and you will see the that it works you wont see that whitish stuff on it. Also you have to leave like a 1/2 of an inch on the top of the glass so it will stick .... a little heat wont hurt it .. try it and u will see ... it really works by the way this a great site keep it up dude!!!

Tinting Tip: The glue on the dots is very effective but you should know that sanding the dots on some of the new cars can and will cause them to rust. The main cars to look for are the Ford Mustang, vw bug, most of the nissan vehicles, and on the Honda accord coupe.

Tinting Tip: I use Pro-Bond and sanding techniques. Pro-Bond is very aggressive and takes some practice to get used to. I first sand dots with 400 grit sandpaper with soapy water to lubricate and reduce glass scratching, then clean dots with window cleaner to remove soap residue. 2 things that are VERY important are: 1. to use as little slip agent in your solution as you can get away with in the dot area, and 2. to apply plenty of Pro-Bond.

Tinting Tip: I hate too give this one away but your all far away! hehe. 12 yrs experiance and Dad did it for 15 so do the math I am tired of the shop! Love the Lord though! Take 0000 steel wool unwrapp it fold it over twice put it on a hand vibrating sander spray the dumb dots and viola! It will bring the dots down to just a colored dot no rise will not scratch glass at all tried it on everything.?'s call 561-719-9692 Must cover the entire seat with old drop cloth. Black juice evrywhere. No rust later and no heating or nothing thats it. If youe hate scraping go ahead will not scratch glass at all. If you get a car with stained outside windows remove the iron zinc whatever stains for $120 dollars perfect everytime. Don't give it away fellas. Anything that has to do with optical clarity is expensive oakley, Prada come on get the hint. Make some money for your effort. Back in the day mid 80's we got 250$+ a car. You actually made dough. And had employees. Sorry for the negativity. I am now located in Palm beach and here they love to give it away a whole car for 59$ retarts! Its all a scam though. Customers love honesty and great job. Want a removal tip on rear window try it cold! Spray stuff bag it and wait 15 min and gently pull. Verses sweat'n and glue spots. If it is too purple use a brick! j.k hey God Bless all you Tinters and if you share a shop with stereo alarm guy I feel your pain...
