Well, I'll be giving feedback as time goes by.  I just put some on my beater & it actually didn't feel too bad.  I didn't use the 'best' or 'better' stuff either, I simply used the non-metalized, plain-jane 'good' stuff.

It's some leftover I had & that vehicle is still lookin' good, so we'll see.

My initial impressions are that it can crease easily compared to the old-school Llumar I used to have. (so be aware if you ever touch the stuff).

I was pleasantly surprised at how it set.  I had noticed that some of the newer films don't like to *grab* right away compared to what my old mind is used to.  This stuff leaves itself 'slippable' for a few minutes, then transitions nicely to grabbing.  I was pleasantly surprised in this regard.  (I used some 3M last year that I recall took a good while to get the fingers out of.........as in "next morning" & still workin' 'em out, kinda' long while).

It seems fine so far.  I'm gonna keep an eye on it and I'm also gonna play a little, by installing pieces spread out in weeks.  My car sits in the sun at work all day & this would probably go over even better during the summer.........but oh well.......it's a long term test anyway, so maybe next summer will tell the tale.

Now, don't get me wrong.........I know this stuff isn't professional film, but I'm just curious to see what it can do.

Remember................folks laughed at Hyundai 10yrs ago..........Now?..........not so much!!

I tinted the windows on my own vehicle in high school when I as 15 and saw the truck yesterday (that was a shock it was still running) and it still had the tint on the windows. I used parts store brand 5% on it and the tint was almost clear purple. I just thought it was funny seeing the truck and noticing the windows havent seen it in about 8 years.

ps. the truck looked about as good as the tint on it.

I still saw some pretty heavy green in it, but I only used the "good" stuff.....(non metallized).

Do you know which version your customer brought you??

(Reminds me......damn.....I need to get a radius tool!) :beer

Maybe I'll tint each window different. One "good", next "better" & another "best"!

Then I'll have Axius endorse my Camry as I drive around with a big a55 banner on the side........"Axius films!".

:beer

Curly Bill turns to Ringo:

CURLY BILL

What'd the Messican mean, a sick

Horse's gonna get us? Didn't make

No sense.

RINGO

He was quoting the bible,

Revelations: "Behold a pale Camry

And the one that sat in it was

Death and Hell followed with him."
