First bit of advice I can give you is to turn on and use the spell checker function on your computer.

If he is doing written quotes or putting together proposals with spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors such as those on his post then he is going to lose business, regardless of how good a tinter he is.

its funny, i used to use this site alot, it was a good laugh im sure some of you old schoolers out there will agree (davie, nick, barry etc you know who you are) however i have only recently started posting on here again, i have found in recent times far to many people on here ready to jump on people for the slightest thing, bitches i call them, people with the my way is the only way attitude, not here to help anyone and dont believe anyone else can teach them anything, im not singling anyone out here it just seems to be the experience ive had on here recently not like a couple of years ago when this place was a proper little community, i always think if you dont have anything constructive to say or if its not going to make people laugh then shut the hell up, we all like a laugh, nobody likes a bitch! that was the guys second post on TD, and youve jumped on him already with B.S. about his typing, i see you're a relative newcomer yourself, does his typing really matter?? we all bump keyes from time to time,
just an opinion (sorry if the spelling isnt up to standard)

mr douglas of yorkshire, if you do a search on this site you'll find some very good info and some sensible contributers that will go out of their way to help you but you'll also come across lots of "posting police" and morons that will take every opportunity to fire you down and disuade you from tinting or just give sacrastic comments instead of just giving info and helping you out, specially from our so called british brethren aka "the UK boys" many off these so called "professional tinters" are so ignorant its unbelievable, beacuse they make £500 a day they seem to think they can give it the large, unfortunately for those mentioned they will be on the scrapheap within 10 years or begging for change under waterloo bridge as by then the UK tint trade will be run by poles/brazilians/romanians/turks/albanians/allahs army/etc, banging out £40 full car tint jobs, hahahaha......................
my advice to you is to get as far aways from rip-off britain asap, before it descends into a third world cesspit inhabited by foriegn scammers, british dole bludgers, shariah law and us being turned into dhiimi slaves for our muslim masters

I find posts like both of yours much more offensive, these blanket condemnations are undeserved and unwarranted. But I'm sure you will be able to find something else to complain about in the next thousand or so posts. Most browsers have a little X in the upper right hand corner.

I have some advice. Do you want to listen?
Why dont you save yourself some wasted money and contact your local small business advisory service, they will help you out with whats needed to set up a company - you should become a sole trader . You also really need to become aware of what is needed to find customers and make them happy!...and this is'nt just a cheap price!
Then, before trying to make career out of something you are not capable of doing yet, find something else to do in the meantime and offer window tinting for little money, offer it for cost price and do lots of cars for practice.
When you are mobile you need good technique, you would be best to learn in a clean environment and get good there before going outside in the wind and rain!!
Lots of companies - sorry cowboys!! try and fail to do window tinting because they are led to believe that after 3 days training they can rock the world..nothing cold be further from the truth. They are doing crappy work, ruining the perception of what is an acceptable level of finish and giving peole refunds and then they are making losses..dont become one of them and end up in Loserville!
Trust me...this makes sense!!

My advice would be to chunk the BOUNCE and try IVORY SOAP... The fabric softeners are carcinogenic... Suntek is a decent name brand of film, but after you get more experienced, you will find a film that works best for you... Be it, suntek or some other. Everyone has a favorite.... Best of luck, all I would ask is that you keep your prices competitive with other tinters in your area, if you go around and start low-balling, you'll give yourself a bad name and possibly screw up the market in your area...
