I'm curious on this too, I'm looking at trying to sell SolarGard Ultra Performance film and I just wonder what the big deal will be on it. I was going to spring the cash and re-tint my car with it.

how's the little one doing?

good to see you back around :nope

He's good, very good, you wuold never know he was 8 weeks early, at 7mo. he's outgrowing 12mo. clothes, so I imagine he will be big like his dad. Between that and opening the new shop in February and getting another location up and running in May, I've been swamped, but we are seriously kicking ass, I've landed some big jobs, contracts, and accounts that should keep us good for a couple years. I really haven't touched the internet in like 4 months, except to keep up on some internet sales and such. I've been doing a lot more tinting at the most recent store, so between that, installing glass and running the front, I'm finding time to get back into the world beyod the front door of the shop.

I might as well really derail the thread

Patents prevent companies from duplicating it exactly. There's about 8 years to go and then the patent runs out but by that time there will be other new patented technologies on the market. There are other films that are called "Ceramic" on the market. Vista has the Harmony Series, Madico has their ceramic, and I am sure there will be others but at this point it can only be imitated not duplicated due to patents.

You asked if the "Hype" is all it is cracked up to be? I find that non-HO Dealers are the ones that refer to it as "Hype" but I can tell you as an HO dealer the film sells very well against other less expensive brands, customer are very happy, and we do not have any problems with the product. Hype? Call it whatever you want... I bet you'll lose a job to HO sooner or later. :nope

nope not in these parts, most people won't spend over 200 dollars on tint and then add to that number another 459 and you can see that there not going to spend 2 car payments for tint. no one here wants light film they all want dark film so until HO gets some darker film and the non millionairs think 15% more heat rejection is worth the extra 459 I'm not worried about it, most car owners that can afford it have cars that I just don't wish to tint.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
