Hi people
I´ve been using SOTT Films for the past year but the SUNTEK distributor want´s me to use their film, i was wondering whats your opinion on suntek films, i´ve tried them out and a love working with the film, and the colour perfect, i would like some opinions if i should become a oficial suntek window tinter or continue with SOTT films (sign of the times).
Thanks ...

Some manufactures don't distribute the same film in different parts of the world. My only problem has been a little hard coat flaking but company has been good to make it right.

Great color and longevity, Carbon is safe proof if you don't want to worry about AM/Bluetooth/Reception issues for their HP line. Shrinks very well,
Good Luck

I never heard of SOTT films... but suntek carbon is pretty good film. Its a bit on the high side, but if you want a more cost effective film, I would use Express True Black, and if you want even more of a cheaper price but great clarity in your films, you should try Solar Free, which is 1/3 of Carbon's price. Good luck mate!

No alcony is a difrernte make here in europe, actually SOTT films are made in the suntek factory, they are the same colour and composition, the reason why Alcony isnt suntek is because suntek line 5% HP has 3 layers and alcony hp5% has only 2 layers, we got alcony here but not as good as suntek or SOTT. And alcony colour is very difrente from suntek´s line of colour, here ALCONY is much cheaper then suntek, actually alcony is more or less the same price as hanita films which is 20 or 30% more cheaper than suntek.

They have been marketing pretty hard lately. I admire there efforts in these tough times. Goes to show you the strength of there operations or the other side maybe there throwing a hail mary.

I switched to Suntek carbon 3 years ago and haven't had a single one come back. It's a good choice in my book.

hope your not using suntek hp  .....guess there is dye in the hard coat that rubbed off over a 1.5 years. My assumption was since it was an 06 mustang and windows jump up when the door closes it rubbed the color off the film & the passenger side wasn't nearly as bad. Usually the top edge is darker where the film is hidden inside the frame, this was just the opposite. oh..... & not to mention the back window faded.

Have had that before found out that the custy was using a cleaner with some nasty chemicals on his rubber seals, that was dying the film,could that be your problem

The Rep sent us a sample roll of Carbon 18 and I tried it on a bug back window and could not get it to shrink very well. I pride myself on my shrinking abillities found myself frustrated with it. The shop was VERY cold yesterday, and I was wondering if that would be the problem. Also, mabe the sample roll was bad. I've never heard of this film being a 'hard shrink'. I'm looking to switch from Solargard to a differant film. Any suggestions? Thanks, ~R~

The Carbon will shrink better than the Solarguard and most films out there. One of the better shrinking films out there.

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.
