Full Version: Dry Shrink Backglass

Pages: 1, 2

TINTZEUS
Prep the outside of the backglass anyway. Scrub it, blade it, wipe it clean with paper towel.

Then spray the glass with soap and water. Next, wipe the glass with the micro fiber towel. The soap and water will dry in 3 - 5 seconds....no static...makes for an eazy dry shrink.

No need for baby powder, dryer sheets or a bar of soap.... or spraying the glass with soap and water and waiting for it to dry..... thumb.gif

SIR TINTSALOT
I'm too used to using bounce, that I don't even try new methods. But if one day I run out I might give it a try.

Sir Tint take a look at MSDS for dryer sheets. They have some BAD stuff in them.

Might be worth a try.

I'll give it a try this week, let you know how I get on thumb.gif
SIR TINTSALOT
I know there is reasons why some don't use them, but I've been using them this long and don't have any ill effects.
So I think I'll keep using them. Thanx for the advice, but I guess I'm just being stubborn in my old ways.

wal-mart has them, you can order some from detail supply websites like autogeek.net and pakshak or exceldetail.

i thought i had replied on this thread, maybe it got deleted but this technique does not help on any decently hard cars. it will stick it certain spots which could potentially cause you to crease it. just my .02 but doesnt seem worth it

VIP tint + glass
what we used to do before the soap method
Lord_of_the_Tints
I usually just clean the the glass with soap and water and a squeegee, I scrub it when necessary. I´m wondering what will be the difference if i use the micro fiber towel instead? dunno.gif

I like using powder, is there anything that works as well but is cleaner? Haven't tried anything else.

yes, the purpose of all dry shrink methods is to keep the film fron sticking to the glass while shrinking.

i thought tint went on the inside duck.gif i know bad joke
CleanCutter
seems OK .. like most all other methods. Once you get used to it, then it's 'your' method. Been using Magic Sizer for at least 7 years or so now .. think I'll stick with it.
tintguy
i have been doing this for a while, it sems to work better when the towels are brand new. the microfibers leave a slight dust particle of the fiber on the glass. if you wash our windshield off with one youll se it at night when the headlights from on coming traffic hit the glass

I did it today..... thumb.gif worked great.....perfect
