Piece of cake car. Backglass is almost completely flat with no obstructions or cutouts around it. Quarters have 1/8th or more all around with black dot borders, roll downs have plastic trim so no felt contam, and loose gaskets so tucking is very easy. Piece of cake car.

I pull panels on 98% of the cars I tinted and had a 2009 Acura TSX came in on Monday......took out 4 screws but could not get the panels off. Seems like there is a couple more screws but I could not locate them. I ended up tucking the rubber gaskets (I hate doing that). Has any panel pullers done this car before and where are the screws to take the panels off???? thanks a bunch!!!!!

color matching 02 MDX

Does anyone know the best color match for the 2 fronts on an 02 MDX??? I usually use 20% Ray Guard on most suvs, but this one looks lighter. I have Gryestone 30%, Ray Guard 35% & 20% to choose from. Madico CH35 looked perfect inside, but was way too green when I pulled it out. It's too dark out to see so he's bringin it back tomorrow. He's a good repeat customer so I want to take care of him.

Hi All, I'm looking for a recomendation on tint shops in the Boston area. Somewhere in metro Boston, Brighton, Brookline, Watertown, or Newton would be the most convenient. My car is a 2002 Acura TL - black with tan interior. This is my first tinting experience, so any and all advice is much appreciated. How much should I pay for a quality job w/ quality film? What questions do I need to ask to ensure a good job w/ no damage to the car? Any recomendations on %s? And most importantly, which shops are best? Thanks

Any problems with this ride for tinting, its got a pretty curved rear window and was thinking this car might work good using the wet shrink method like a camaro or is it better dry shrinking. It's a buddys work car and I'm doing this car in his garage next weekend since I'm only concerned about that back glass. You gotta love those frameless rollups though So any advise on techniques on that window would be cool by the way its a hatchback

First post. Just like to say that the forum is nice. Some really great articles so far, and it's got me thinking about where to go in Austin. I've contacted Custom Sounds, and the Pinnacle tint there is going to run about $300-350.. but their 15 year tint "expert" has heard nothing about using moleskin or other felt liners to prevent the vertical scratching. But the guy said they could note my concerns and request on the order form and if the scratches appear they would replace the tint. Of course that doesn't really solve the problem though, the new tint will scratch as well. I've also called Car Toyz, and they use some other brand of ceramic tint (something Opti…

Tinting a TSX

Sorry for my previous thread it was way too long. So here's to keeping it simple... I'm looking for a reliable tinting place in Los Angeles. Have looked in the registry of tinters on this website. There doesn't seem to be anyone in Los Angeles or the westside. Anybody know of a good place to get my TSX tinted? What are peoples thoughts on the felt liners so it doesn't scratch the tint. Do you really need it? Anyone used Ceramic tint or Formula One Pinnacle tint? Apparently you don't need the felt if you use this specific type of tint. Any thoughts? Thx

2006 Acura TSX tinting questions

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 TSX w/Navi and I want to start looking into getting my car tinted. I've read many threads talking about the window seals on TSX's being too tight and scratching the tint. Also that metallic based tint can screw up either AM radio or Navigation/GPS signals. So hear's my questions: *Is a dye, ceramic or metallic based tint better than one another and for what reasons? *Does any of them effect XM sat. radio signal, FM signal or the Navigation system? *Is it essential for the best tint job to get them to install it with either felt, material of some kind, or moleskin? (also is one of these options better than another? *If installing one of…

Awesome Tint Job on a 2006 Acura TL !!!! 1 2 3

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who recommended Dave's Glass Tinting (Old Tinter). He did a great job on my vehicle and I can truly say I will send all of my friends to him. I went with Suntek Carbon 35% rear glass and 43% all around, and the results are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to get away from the limo look and go with something more upscale.

They need felt. Luckily the panels pop right off after removing a few screws. (For those of you who aren't frickin' sissies when it comes to pulling panels. )

Can this be fixed? Wondering how this happens
Any impact from polishing, if the mar responds to polishing, would result in no or little visible trace. Anyone experienced in buffing glass will likely say, no guarantees; unless they've experienced the same mar on glass.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
I use(d) these that are readily available through grocery stores; on installs that should not have a blade running across their surface. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotch-Brite-3PK-Dobie-Cleaning-Pad/580762256?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101033794&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=22222222227580762256_101033794_160178497084_20981201920&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=689850595863&wl4=pla-2274697737319&wl5=9008682&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=255470249&wl11=online&wl12=580762256_101033794&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyo335LbOhQMVo0tHAR1HpQC8EAQYASABEgKydfD_BwE Need to know whether the boat has glass or does it have plexiglass (acrylic) or Lexan (poly-carbonate). Glass is not worrisome, the other two are. Plexi will blister from out-gassing in no time at all, whereby, Poly-carbonate is a crap shoot as to when and how serious, if any, blistering of film occurs. Both Plexi and Ploy may also be difficult to remove, if the need arises down the road mainly getting the adhesive of without damaging the surface. Both should not be warranted given the aforementioned potentials and these conditions should be discussed with the owner.- 1

Can this be fixed? Wondering how this happens
no, aside from window cleaner I’ve not tried anything else yet like goo gone, a razerblade, etc… I’ll probably leave that to the detailer. question: when polishing glass will it impact the visibility after? I guess I’m now weighing between having them try to correct it or just leaving it be. -

Boat window tinting tips
I start those at $750 and go up. Best advice is no cutting on the glass and white scrubbie only, no cleaning blades. That glass is super soft. You may want to use a film liner to make a template to cut your patterns. -

Geoshield vs Maxpro
Hi! I’m new to the tinting world. Just completed a 5 day tinting course and want to purchase some films to start my mobile tinting. We trained with Geosheild, but there was a lot of talk about Maxpro and how it was good as well. Does anyone have experience with both of these? Which one is better to work with and easier to shrink? Prices on both are pretty close to each other. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
