Got a call from an old friend of mine that heard I was tinting windows out of my garage now. She was asking me how to tint her car. She tells me she's been working on her brand new 2005 GTO read window for about 5 hours and cant get the bubbles out. I asked her to decribe them to me and she was talkign about fingers. I personally hadn't experienced fingers on a side window yet but maybe I just havent had any side windows that curved enough to produce them. I explained to her how to get rid of them and told her that I could take care of her job when she decides she's had enough. She's persistant on keeping it cheap so I asked her where she got her tint. She told me Murrays and spent $50 on it. (GILA). I laughed and told her a bit of knowledge and continued on with my day.

The next morning she called me up. After 7 hours of dinking with her 1st window she gave up and wanted to get her car done. She came over and I poped it out in my personal best 4 hours. Mind you this is only my 3rd car. (grand-am, mustang, GTO) I have 5 trucks under my belt too. She was so excited and loved the work. I was realy proud of myself as well cause I was able to do the whole job without wasting any film. 1 piece per window and only 1 small piece of hair in the back glass that she'll never even notice cause its right along a defroster line.

I've said it once ..I'll say it again..Why customers decide to spend all kinds of $$$ on a brand new car and accessories ..yet when it comes to the tint ..they just don't want to spend that little extra on a major alteration that can make or break the looks of their car.

Totally mystifies me :cool

Now that I said that..glad you were able to get her car looking great :cool

Thanks guys....

Yeah Z, business been slow. but I havent really been advertising. Working FT at the Hospital and now schools back in, going FT. I don't have that much time to tint. But yeah. I love to do it. I'm not going anywhere.

Trying to work some extra hours so I can insulate and drywall the garage before snow comes. But I want to buy a shed for behind the garage so I can get the lawn mower and summer BS out of the garage first.

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
