OK, I have a bunch of questions. When installing tint, do you guys spray the whole window down, or leave a little section at the top to stick the tint to? How do you make sure you get as far side to side as you can? So that it kinda tucks behind the dor moldin type stuff so it looks good...Do you reccomend wearing latex gloves or something? to keep fingerprints out of the tint? What do you tell your customers to clean the tint with? Just fill me in with any beginner tips you have. Thanks. and remember, I'm a newbie, and I gotta start somewheres.

Also, can somebody explain the process of shrinking to me, and why it is needed, or if it is needed? And also where to get good tinting tools.

add slip to both glass and film,to fit snug make a stencil first, a peel board or over tha arm to avoid prints, and to heat form the film is quite tricky to explain, I would reco that ya try and do some ex with a pro, surf some old threads on the site to get a better idea, there is heaps of help on here from the US pro,s to get ya going , start out right and yall go for ever

Thanks for the info and the welcome. I do mobile auto detailing, and I want to branch into custom accessories and such, so I figured this is a good place to start. My first tint job will be on my truck, then maybe I'll redo my friends truck, his is terrible, all purple, and the back window is verrrry bubbly and crappy.

I've tried looking all over, can somebody explain to me what heat shrinking or whatever is, and how to do it, and how you reccomend tinting? I never even heard of heat shrinking until this forum, I always though it was just kinda, spray the winde do the fitting and sqeegee it kinda till it's nice and flat, guess I was wrong?

[Guest TintsOvOz]
