okay guys first post here because I have to do a car I have never done. I stick primarily to GM vehicles which are cake, so I really need the help on this one. I recently picked up a speed shop that does all sorts of vehicles, and need help on a pciky customer who wants the c-class 4 door tinted. The car is I believe an 05/06 so what do I need to do?

Anyone ran into the crazy double pane doors on an s-class and had any issues with doing dark film on them? I did one and before I did it called factory head tech who advised not to put on dark film. I have a new customer that is looking to get his done now and wants it dark. Is this not a similar issue to the thermal stress issues of dual pane house windows? Please advise!

New R Class people mover by Mercedes Benz. Front doors have a torx screw located behind the lock/unlock button, just like in the ML 4WD. Rear doors have a torx screw behind the little plastic speaker cover. Dont need to remove the whole door trim, just peel the top and pull out the rubber. The rubbers need felt. I like the car. My wife thinks its ugly.

I have a curious problem that maybe you can help with. My Mercedes is hard down at the moment. Neither the turn signals nor the brake lights work and when I step on the brakes all of the dashboard gauges and instruments go to zero. Even the speedo quits. Wierd MB problem of the day - week - month - etc. There was a problem with the emergency flashers not working all the time and the inspector called me about it. I had a water drip there last year and suspected the switch. I replaced it and they now work. It was shortly after that that this problem started, I put the old switch back in and the problem remains. Any suggestions of where to start looking will be app…

Guys (and Girls ) some info please. Have done these cars plenty of times b4 but twice recently have had problems with the electronic switches located on the front doors. Are they prone to get damaged from water? I don't usually take door trims off since they are too hard to remove, have I been lucky previously or am I just being naive

Well I got a hold of the first S550 that our local benz dealer sold. Its pretty freakin sweet,a nd for 200G's less than a Maybach, I think I'd take it and save the rest. Anyways, the Maybach they had sat for 8 months and they discounted it down to $230,000 just to get rid of it. (they sold 4 in the past 2 years here). beside the point. heres the S550.

Thought I'd post here first as most people don't surf the auto forum. We had a brand new 2005 Mercedes CLS which is a 4 door sedan that we tried to tint but couldn't figure out how to get the rear deck lid off. That back lid almost presses onto the back glass and we can't get any tools between the lid and glass. What a nightmare. Right now I am trying to get the schematics for the rear deck lid removal so we can tackle this job. If anyone out there has done one, please help. Thanks.

Do not and I repaet do not use a razor blade on this truck. the so called toughened glass will scratch very easily. Did one thought it was just dumb luck when it scratched. Found out the hard way when I scratched another one just cleaning it. I have done some that never scratched , but not worth the risk. Glass is to soft just scrub it with a scrubbie

Now the passenger side is peeling. and for the price, I aint willing to pull the panels, real liability issues. any help would be appreciated. Ever notice how your friend who wants the "brother in law" deal NEVER has an easy car? Sucks

High speed material feed
Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill- 1

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -
