Sungard Black Lava

Has anyone experienced ghost lines that are almost purple in colour? I fitted Black lava 5% on the rear glass of my Caddy van a couple of weeks ago and i've noticed these wierd ghost lines running half way up the film. Could it be through somethin that i've done when fitting it? or is it a film issue?

can you snap a picture so we can better understand what you are worried about.?

I'll bet it's the film. Alot of 5% product looks like that. I hear good things about the black lava.

Sorry for the small pic but hopefully you'll be able to see what i'm on about.

Hopefully theses are better

are you wet shrinking?

These were wet shrunk, there was very little shrinking required. I'd have thought any marks caused by wet shrinking would have gone by now. Its nearly 3 weeks ago i did them.

Try dry shaping......that problem will be to a minimum.

I'll give it another go dry then and see how it comes out.

I used to get that from using Express's Smoke series films. It was actually the film that did it, but only under certain lighting conditions.

Maybe it's that then coz I only noticed it yesterday as I backed up my driveway.

i tried a sample a couple of months ago after questioning the good Capt. about the quality of his film . and during clean up the windshield strip delambed by simply wiping it down !!!!

IMO, the lava is not something that should be heavily marketed. Now the shadow, i like very much.

Thats ghosting from the wet shrink....dry shrink should take care of that....

What did your film rep say? Bill whats up with that? I agree I love the shadow so far.....

Wet shrink might make the problem more noticeable, but shouldn't CAUSE the problem. The problem is the film.

Unless you're using an all metal film ghosting shouldn't happen with any shrink method IMHO.
