Why is it that doing contract work for shops never last? They always run the tinter up the wall and when he quits the contract work, they call eveyday. I guess they figured out that John who washes cars really can't tint like he said!! :ohcrap

not sure, but it must have been worth it to take the contract at what they were paying since they were selling the jobs and awnsering the phones leaving you or who ever to just tint the windows.

Hand car washes don't last, and if they do the owners change every 12 months, mother nature always wins and the machine wash pounds them out for less $$$. In my area you would be shocked how many big money autos are lined up at the washing machine joint, they don't care enough to appreciate a hand wash or spend triple the dough.. they may not have the money to pay a quality out source tinter so Juan the tire cleaner torches a Benz door panel or even worst a headliner. then it is time to call you back...DUH!!

They figure it looks simple enough and see the cost of film at Wally World, so why should they pay a ton of extra cash to you ?

They can give their own person $8 perhour to do it and have more money for themselves.

Then they realize watching you do it and them doing it does not equal the same quality work.

Contract.... :hmmm A writen deal with a dealer.... :dunno Never heard of it... :hmmm

Either I can do the work, or I cant.....I answer my phone, or I dont.

If I have a "contract" with a dealer, bodyshop, or whomever, writen or word, I need to be there for them, when they call....if I'm not....The work goes to the other guy... :dunno

Unless I offer to go to the custy's Home or Office to make them happy.

I try not to over-extend myself.....thats why scheduling is soooooooooo important.

:hmmm

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      The coating can be removed by "dry scraping" with stainless single edge razor blades, but it is very time consuming and tedious. The coating comes off like a super fine powder. If done correctly there is no damage to the glass and you can tint it just fine after a thorough cleaning. I scraped the drivers door clean after making the mistake of scratching the coating but I did not scrape the passenger side. After tinting you could not tell the difference between the two.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      Sure looks like auto glass technology is advancing. I remember the coating on Lexus and some Toyota models could be removed with a glass polish. It took some effort to get to the glass itself and that was an anti-fog coating technology. This IR/UV coating is looking like it is more robust. I wouldn't want to be the one experimenting with whatever product to attempt removal of it. The UV rating is 99%+ reduction, but they limit what they say about IR performance to: Mitigates sense of intense heat on the skin ... Controls rising cabin temperatures. The link is to a company that apparently is deep into providing glass with this coating and they certainly limit info. Take a look for yourself. This appears to be something that could/would expand to more brands/models. It sure is going to put a new slant on selling film and installing film to cars. https://www.cgc-jp.com/products/search_category/automotiveglass/ircut.html

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      We run our hand across the glass since you can feel the coating. Basically, if it does not feel like normal glass, assume it has the coating.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      I'm sure you are aware of this problem - that Lexus and some other manufacturers decided to install this super sensitive coating to the inside of the glass, that cannot be razor scraped at all. I had one a couple years ago and I had no idea what I was getting into you, and figured it was a one-time deal where the manufacturers realized what a stupid idea it was, & wouldn't do it anymore. Well, a week ago I had a brand new all electric Subaru SUV. It had the exact same thing on the front 2 windows - IR or UV coating that cannot be touched ! Didn't know about it & gouged the coating with my razor blade ... SO ... Does anyone know or have access to some sort of a complete list of these vehicles? I was informed by my sales rep that anyone using the core software from Llumar gets these notes about potential problems with the software - I don't understand why all Llumar dealers don't get the same updates. I was completely unaware of this and it's going to cost me quite a bit of money to fix it because even though I didn't do anything wrong, it did happen at my shop!

      Mutoh Plotter

      Anyone used/using a Mutoh VC-2 plotter for tint? I have one I am using for vinyl and want to buy a second cutter just for tint. I am familiar with the Mutoh and would like to keep my equipment the same if possible. Just looking for some recommendations on how it does. Thanks!

      Reveal Molding/Belt Moldings

      If you have that many, trace a pattern and send it to DAP. They are super quick about scanning and uploading patterns. I have done this with a few custom patterns.
