Tinting Rollups, The technique I use
QUOTE
I used to install rollups by leaving the bottom two inches of the liner on, like a large amount of tinters do. Then I was shown this technique by another tinter. At first I thought "how can this work" ? But I tried it and have been using it ever since. So, before You bash , try it for Yourself. You may be surprised, thumb.gif


Wet the door panel a little....



Lay Bounty paper towels across the length of the door panel, leaving them about 1/2 inch from the window, and wet the paper towels real good. Don't be skurred to wet the towels good, because the towels also keep solution from dripping on the door to much. You can't use cheap paper towels, because they will leave lint fibers on the film.



Then clean Your windows and install film as normal. Peel the liner all the way off the film and wet real well.



Notice how the edges of the film are curled in and under. This in itself keeps a majority of the film off the panel.



Then lift the film off the panel with one finger as normal, and roll up the window. Hose the glass and the film down real well, and squeegee the bottom out as usual.



You will be very surprised with the end result. Holla! Remember if You dont give the customer a reason to complain....they won't.

Keep those sprayers clean.
QUOTE
Ive seen a few posts of what peeps do to remove the lanolin deposits on sprayers and tanks, but Im not sure if I have seen this tip. Put the hottest water you can get into whatever sprayer you are using, then pour a generous amount of pure bleach into the bottle or tank...Shake vigorously. Spray some of the content out so that it gets into the spray head to soak the parts inside. Let sit over night. Wash it out, spray water out until it doesnt feel "slick" anymore. Your sprayer is now SUPER clean. I use sprayers that have a clear bottle, sometimes I can see the lanolin falling off the sides of the bottle as soon as I pour the bleach in.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
