Just wondering if anyone has seen the black thin tape on the front edge of the front two windows? Ive tried everything and tinting over it and heat gunning it down seems to be the best option. Anyone else on here run into one please fill me in on how it turns out.

Won’t do full windshields on new Rams bc of computer module but you can add the New Altima to this list. Did it 2 days ago and had to press push start about 8 times to get it to startEd bc it wouldn’t recognize key fob. Customer drove it home and now it won’t start again, just keeps saying it can’t recognize key fob.

Heads up to panel pullers. This car is easy to tint but if your a tinter that likes to either remove the bottom gasket or pull back panels, you will most likely have to pull the panel. If you pull the panel, you have to pry the trim around the door opener latch carefully as it is easy to break the tabs. Best way is to take the smallest mini screw driver and work your way around to depress all the tabs (here's a pic of one off so you don't have to guess where the tabs are on the hidden side) : Also, when taking off the mirror cover off the 2 front panels be VERY careful or you will be repairing 1 or 2 plastic clips on the other side. Very poor design for taking off. If yo…

The new Sentra can be very easy car. Only to pull the panels you have to remove the trim around the inner handle. The best way I have found to do this without causing any nicks to the edges is an old pink chizzler card. Insert it between the silver trim and door handle cup. Use it to unclip the silver trim. I wish this was posted last week, I bugered up the first one I did. Thank you for sharing though. I have ment to for over a month. Just kept forgetting to snap a pic. Works great on the sentra and brand new rogue. Good to know! I use to use a pick, but would make a spot now and then, barley noticeable. So tried this one day about a month back and I have yet …

Hello fellow tinters. Has anyone tinted one of these cars? Have a custy that want me to quote him for the rear windows. Best regards

Did the new Leaf today and it is pretty simple. The back window scared me for a second as it has a good bend to it. It is a perfect curve though and can be shrunk in 2 minutes. The sweeps are very loose so it makes this an easy install. Nissan just had to put those stupid windows in the front though

Steel wool just doen't cut. I hit the shiat out that bg w/ steel wool, just to get 4 peanuts on the very bottom defroster line. I usually don't even bother with steel wool b/c it doesn't help. I heard someone say that the sand them down, which seems a little harsh, but if done w/ caution, it could work. I never had many issues when using qdp, true black(with slip tack), and value tint, but with suntek hP, it seem like I get one on every third bg i do. Iv noticed since i swiched back to suntek that imperfections don't lay down like they used to and the adhesive seems weaker. I swear, nothing drives me more crazy than peanuts....

the rear window can be done with 24 inch film and there is some shrinking to do. the 1/4's are in the doors now instead of the body. had a rough time getting the brake light disconnected that sucker did'nt want to come apart, matrix is the same fine dot material like the lod ones.

Ok, just did a 2011 Quest. It has the retard triangle windows in front of the doors that seems to be all the rave lately, but easy to get to. The doors are very flat, and require no heating. ***Beware*** If you pull the gaskets, and dont remove the panel to do so, all you have to do is pull the top back opposite the mirror side. However, if you dont have a panel puller, DONT DO IT! When you yank the panel back, the plug will stay in the hole and come off the panel. Its a blue pop plug with the old fashion "ribs" that keep it in the hole. Also, when you put the gasket back, make sure you dont pull the material off the panel when you slide it back in. I did it wit…

I recently done two altimas, one 08 and the other 2010. Is there something I need to know about the side windows? They crease rather than the normal shrink. When I apply the heat, instead of it squiggling up, it just forms a thin line leading to a crease. I used EWF classic black and a madico film on the other and both do the same. Whats going on?? I wet shrink btw

The first new gen Maxima I did a couple years back had some thick lines, not bad enough to pucker but just a little thick. So since then I've been going over them with a little extra prep and haven't had any problems with the other 4 or 5 I've done. Well today I had a 2012 that had about 15 puckers. It was a Carlex glass (like Altima) I pulled it, scrubbed it like an Altima and it turned out great the 2nd time. So that's 1 out of 4 or 5 with an issue, has anyone else run into it?

The trim around the opening handle on the latest body style Sentra can be very tricky to remove without damaging. I have found that the best tool to remove this piece of trim is a lil chizzler. Slide it between the trim and door panel to release the clips. Works fast and worry free. I will try to snag a picture or 2 the next one I tint.

Yay! It's an easy car...no more peanuts on the defroster lines. The back glass is smaller and the brakelight comes right out of its little cubby hole. The rear doors have just the rollup, while the small triangular quarter glass is in the c-pillar. The front rollups are long but pose no problem. The car is not officially on sale yet, so the car I did is a showroom demo only.

I have customer that needs to replace the rear door glass in her 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. It's the factory bronze tint. It's super expensive for the glass and I'm trying to help her out. I can get clear glass really cheap and was wondering if there's a film to match the bronze tint. I know it probably won't be perfect but as long as it's close. Any suggestions?

To start off you're not gonna do this backglass w/o removing it. More shiat to cut around than a nightmare ford escape. I told customer I was not going to do it, but he said rto forget the back glass then. Did the rest which was as easy as they come.

Had one of these come in today, sure enough the peanuts were the only problem. What a way to make an otherwise easy car take way too long. I had one come in a week ago from the body shop with an a/m rear glass and what a difference, No probs whatsoever on that one. Custy hung out and watched me knock it out and was down the road in a jif. I've read other posts about 000 sanding, the shrink technique, using the right film, and I even use a clear max to really force the stuff down. Finally ended up doing a few relief cuts after a few hrs in the sun. Anybody else come up with a failproof method to knock these out with no issues?

Low angle haze
Im not that worried about brand recognition. Ive been getting work with Avery and its got little to no brand recognition as far as tint goes. I'm just looking for a good brand that I wont have an issue with. Avery is a fairly cheap option as far as Im aware, so I'm just getting ready to move into the big leagues with a more premium brand. Ive used STek's tint and I was pretty happy with the way it looked, shrank and the overall experience with customer service has been great too. I stopped using it because their specs feel like they are below par compared to the other premium brands. Specifically their TSER. Their NEX line seems to be compared to Xpel Prime XR Plus, but the specs were more on the line of Prime XR. Anyone know how that TSER number is calculated? Is it just a calculation combining light rejected, transmitted, reflected, etc? Looking into panaplex, autobahn, and global now. More specifically global because of recommendations. -

Low angle haze
I second the Global suggestion. If you can get past the color(khaki) of the 70% ceramic, it is the best performing film in their line. It has amazing heat rejection properties at a 70% film with very little low angle haze. I don't have anyone complain about it. If you install 50% on windshields then you will LOVE the Global 50% ceramic. One of the prettiest films i've dealt with and I would say "almost" zero low angle haze. It does not perform as well as the 70% in my opinion because they have almost the same "stats". @Dano Hang in there with the brand recognition. Just spit your knowledge and let them look it up if they want too. Global is my favorite of the "big 3" and the recognition is getting out there. -

Best place to learn window tint ppf
I am currently in the process of getting my detail business going in northern Alabama, and I feel that being able to add tint and ppf, would be a great addition and separate me from some other businesses. I have found a lot of these 2 day work shops, they range from 1 to 5 days, are any of them any good? I would assume the Xpel training etc would be quality, but I was hoping to find something a bit closer to home. I have no issue traveling but if I can find it here or like near Atlanta it would be a lot more convient. Any info on any of these class workshops would be appreciated, and if u got an idea I've overlooked. Let me know that as well,. Thx for the help fellas -

Low angle haze
Basically, the technology that is blocking the heat is also creating the low-angle haze. Some films are worse than others, but they all have it. We've only had 2-3 customers complain about it in the last 10 years. So not a major issue at least for us.- 1

Low angle haze
I have been using Avery Dennison's NR Nano Ceramic IR but I keep seeing cloudy results or low-angle haze. I think some haze is acceptable as a trade-off for performance, but there are just some customers who may not be happy with the result. Does anyone know of a tint manufacturer that has little to no low-angle haze? Preferably one without a $10k minimum monthly buy-in or something crazy like that. Does this only affect ceramic tint? -
