What razor blade & Squeegee to use for cleaning?
by Guest chip01- 7 replies
- 867 views
Cleaning glass which squeegee is the best, with little effort. Is one on a handle a good idea same with the razor blade. Seen the 6" black smoothie on a handle on is this better than a small 4" one u use by hand / same with the razor Also, is there any point in razor blading the glass and scubbing it with the white scrub pad, can you just do one or is there more chance of contam. Just seen a lot of people doing one or the other that is all and trying to increse my time on cars!

Tint shades do not match 1 2 3
by Guest Iceman808- 27 replies
- 1.6k views
Hey all I recently had my front windows re-tinted due to damage. They used the very same film, but there was a three month gap between the tint. The back windows are now a slightly lighter shade than the front. Is it normal for some batches to be different shades? I am going ot take it back and have it redone. As the most recent tint was last week I hope to get the fim off the same roll to match. It is the same product , but I am not sure which one. It is a metallized film. I also wondered how common it is to get small pin head sized bubbled from dust particles under the tint. I have one or two on thewhole car and I think this acceptable considering the tint guy does h…

35% tint: Worried over nothing? 1 2
by Guest emjohn4- 15 replies
- 1.8k views
Hey all- I am interesting in tinting my windows. We live in Phoenix, and the south side of our house gets sun all year round. It's already faded our curtians (1.5-2 years), and I don't want the blinds that we just put up to fall to the same fate. I was looking at 35% tint. THe specs are as follows: 58% Heat reduction 48% Total solar energy absorbed .48 Shading coefficient 70% glare reduction 17% Visable light reflectance <2% UV transmission My concern is thermal shock on the window panes. I have 6 windows that are south facing, two panes per window, and the panes are 19" x 33." I also have a sliding door, 2 panes at 33" x 75." In Pheonix, the temps can r…

Recommendations on types of film
by Guest Iceman808- 5 replies
- 1.9k views
Hey all I was after some recommendations on the preffered types of films to use in very hot climates. Would a very dark film be preferable regardless? For instance I can get charcoal coloured tint and some that are almost black. 35% is the limit I think. Temps of 35-40 degrees. Is the darker the tint better at reflection of heat or is it the metal particles in the int that is doig this? Cheers ][ceman

unique tinter 1 2 3
by redneckj- 27 replies
- 1.9k views
I watch Unique whips from time to time and there is this tinter they show tinting from time to time. WTF? Hanging tint over a roll up to strip off the liner? Using a blue max to squeegee out a little qtr glass? Letting his heat gun cord drag all over the side of a new cls Mercedes and then complaining about taking 5 hours to tint it? Is this guy for real? And the first time I saw him on the show he was talking about how he was the "$hit" and he would put his work up against anyone elses work any where. This guy seems like a typical know it all window tinter. He somehow got a gig tinting at Unique and they have a TV show. So he must be the best tinter anywhere. …

Guys thanks for all your usefull views.I have decided after a week to remove all of the tint off my 3 back windows.I am just not happy with the job.My question if I take my car to a professional tinter when they remove the tint is there chances of any major problems or will it look like original when its done.Obviously it depends on the job but is there anything to be weary of if I remove the tint completely?I am leaving the car tintless.

The world has lost something...remember when it was common to help thy fellow man, what has happened to that? Everything now is me me me me me me me, especially with corporations. How does one make more money? How does one become profit maximizing? How does one become further ahead in life? Even in my small town Iowa where people have a white picket fence, 2.43 kids and an SUV that never sees its 4 wheel drive function I see this. How do I be better than the rest...it's a sickening thought knowing that everybody around you has become so self indulgent that they must find a way to get ahead of the pack. College for students is a reason (for the most part) to put off…

For a while we are going to try out not having the list of active users at the bottom. It should save a little bandwidth and speed up the load time a bit. Also, some people don't wish to be seen, so this might lead to more posting, I'm not sure, but we're going to try it out for a while and see how it goes.

help arquitectural in Puerto Rico heat
Hi, new to the forum but a previous lurker. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on tints for a business in Puerto Rico who's windows face north (humidity 80% temp 70-100). Main concern is heat reduction though i would like for it to not be super dark since it is a work area. Have not contacted installers yet since I wanted to have some knowledge about products and specs beforehand to make sure im getting what i need. Thank you! From what i've gathered i should look out for: dual reflective film and low absorptive/high solar reflection products used this topic among others for research: "should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product." "The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat."
