The Sun Gard Elite would be their flat glass line. Similar to ceramics. I havn't used that in 4 years, but I used to put a lot of that stuff up. Can't stand that adhesive, and I've seen much better optical clairity, but other than that, it seemed alright. I'd watch the absorbtion rate with that film as there was a bit of glass breakage...

I have had few issues with any sun-gard flat glass film in 8 years, but just switched to llumar ATR CH for my auto needs. I will not look back in that. I had to re-do a 2004 Honda Civic back glass today that I tinted in January of 2004. The car had been kept in a garage for 1.5 years and only driven to car shows. It had a life outside for 8 months in New York recently, and had some seriously nasty adhesive failure.

I have been having several come back from the last 2 to 3 years.....

I had been using the Perform-x Slate.....

I had lots of issues other than just the recent adhesive failures.....

I tried it several years ago. had several 20", 24", 36" rolls delivered, started to put it on cars, and off the start, while I was squeeging, the hard coat was flaking already! and it was like that on all the rolls. called howard up(at that time) and he said he'll replace them. he did and guess what, all the replaement film he sent was also bad. so I called him back, and told him the problem is stil there, and so he said he'll refund me my purchase. I received my check, which I was greatful for, and asked him if he wants the film back. he said NO! he ddn't want any of the film he sent from the 1st order to thelast one back.then a few months later I got a flyer from global with howards sgnature. :wall just my experience :beer

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.
