Yeah, I have tried employees a couple of times. I found that most people really don't want to work for a living, whether it be tinting or anything.

My attempt at employees sucked, and I have a 23 year old step daughter living at home yet that's been working the same part-time go-nowhere job since she was 16, while me and her father are putting in over 60 hours per week. It's real nice to come home after working all day and see her still in the pajamas surfing the net on the computer she bought for her bedroom.

Most people don't want to work and get ahead in life.

branching out, tinters looking for work, loyalty or honesty is the main concern here, we just lost our only most honest installer whom he left to his hometown now, we've got to be a two man show on most installs wether its flat or auto, it just takes longer to make the money in my opinion. thank god I dont have some real large work right now or else we'd be in a hole..

Well I have no desire to be a man! I have my own tools and I most certainly do not need help. Although I must say it is nice having a man around to remove rear decks! I don't mind door panels but I hate removing rear decks! :beer

Nope there aren't that many, so why hide em all in the shop? :thumb

Get out there and put up some major footage. :thumb People are very picky about who you send into thier homes. We have two guys that stay on cars because they're too darn scary looking to be hanging film in homes. I'd make all my FG installers girls if I had the power to do so. :beer

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      It's probably worthwhile mentioning that I live in a gets very hot in summer and mostly year long, and never gets to a point where snow fall is a concern. Record High Temperature: 48.9 Celsius or 120 Fahrenheit Mean maximum °C (°F): 38.8 C or 101.8 F Mean daily maximum °C (°F): 31.2 Celsius or 88.2 Fahrenheit Mean daily minimum °C (°F): 3 Celsius or 37.4 Fahrenheit Mean minimum °C (°F): 1.6 C or 34.9 F Record low °C (°F): -6 Celsius or 21.2 Fahrenheit To the USA based forum users, think: Dallas-Fort Worth Texas region (in particular around Denton/Sherman) Houston Texas Harlingen, Texas Orlando, Florida Tampa, Florida Lawton, Oklahoma San Diego, California Los Angeles, California San Jose, California Fresno, California Sacramento, California Puebla de Zaragoza in Mexico For Europeans, think: Spain (Cordoba) Italy (Palermo) Portugal (Lisbon) Greece (Athens, Crete, etc)

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      Yes, I'm aware that any level of tint reduces driver's visibility (part of the reason regulators impose maximum tint % is due to safety concerns), but my question is more regards any noticeable difference between VLT% & therefore subsequent increase in accident risk as a consequence when it comes to comparisons of the aforementioned tint %s. Given the government where I live don't allow anything darker than 35% in the front side, but allow 20% in the rear side and rear window, my presumption is that there's a noticeable difference between 35% and 20% in low visibility conditions (which makes me wonder why the rear window is allowed to be 20% and not 35%). But where does visibility impact start occurring? Is there a particular variance between VLT that the driver notices a perceivable difference (obviously this would differ between ever driver due to inherent individual characteristics, hence I'm wondering whether a study has ever been conducted on this)? For example: Would 35% be noticeably worse than 45% for driver's visibility in front side windows? Would 20% be noticeably worse than 33% for Rear side windows?

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      The answer is YES.... Any tint will impact your vision. How much you can tolerate is really subjective and situational. Are and vision impact, where you are driving impacts, the type of car and window angles impact......

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      I forgot to ask about Low Angle Haze (LAH), do any particular films have less LAH than others? Is LAH so much of a problem that it's better to avoid ceramic tint and go another kind of tint like SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      In the jurisdiction in which I live, we are allowed to have 35% in front and 20% in rear. I'm wondering @ what VLT% does the driver's visibility in adverse conditions like night time driving, storms, cloudy weather, fog, floods, etc., start being impacted? Front side windows: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% Rear Side Windows: 38.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00% Rear Window: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00%

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      If the only tinter providing MEP Films is a mobile tinter that uses more water than normal and I don't have a garage to tint in then would you avoid the tinter and opt for a tinter with a workshop that uses either: SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP SunTek Evolve Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic (by the way, does anyone know where the Technical Spec sheet is, I tried finding to no avail) XPEL Prime XR Black Johnson Window Films InsulatIR IR GLOBAL WINDOW FILMS QDP CERAMIC FILMS Global OZ Window Films CBXtreme Ceramic

      Why is my film sliding around in GCC Jag V Plotter?

      Your film might be sliding around in your GCC Jaguar V plotter due to several reasons. Firstly, ensure that the film is loaded correctly and securely in the plotter's rollers. Check for any debris or dirt on the rollers that could cause slippage. Additionally, ensure that the plotter's settings, such as speed and pressure, are appropriate for the type of film you're using. Using a tackier or adhesive-backed film can also help prevent sliding. Lastly, make sure the plotter's firmware and software are up to date to avoid any compatibility issues that could lead to film slipping during plotting.
