I don't mind letting anyone watch. Like they are going to get it anyways

I never used to let people watch when I first started, but now, I encourage them because than they know why I get away with charging what I do... :dunno

The ones who want to watch, then they chatter the entire time.

When that happens, I stop working and wait for them to stop talking.

When they ask why it is taking so long, I tell them I thought they wanted their car tinted, not to conduct social hour.

Oh, and time is money, so it costs them more.

I want it so no one can see in, but I want it to be legal.

Can I just buy the tint from you cause I could do a good job if I had good tint.

Is that your best price?

It's not paper, plastic, or tints.

My all time favorite is a conversation with people who get online to some bogus website that attempts to explain window tinting. Then they come into my shop and start trying to act like they are educated enough in window film to have a full on coversation with a professional at a professional level. These people are easy to spot, and it's even more fun to throw stuff at them and scamble their brains as quickly as possible so they realize how little they actually know. This usually takes about 2-3 seconds, and they are very quite afterwards. :tantrum

How about "Last time I had a customer talk to me while I was working, I cut my thumb open, and you don't want me to bleed all over your car, do you?"

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      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?

      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!
