Don't know if this will catch you in time, but go to the XPEL dealersite and watch the install vid on the Odyssey. Yes, it is a LITTLE different, but mostly the same technique.

GOOD LUCK!

Are you doing the hood (my response was more hood related)..and I meant to put RIDGELINE (DOH! :spit ).

Or are you doing the hood and bumper?

Good luck,

ya the kit was installed this morning, and for the bumper I did a backroll. the hood wasn't that bad. I think the mercedies ML hood is trickier, but the bumper was a humbling experience. My problematic areas were where the top piece of the bumper wraps I had huge fingers. Wish you guys (xpel) had a video on a level 5 bumper

Zeus is correct, which is why we did the radical change in training almost a year ago.

We now start out on our own 2' x 2' pieces that are black plastic. We have about 6 of them that are all shaped very different (some taken from actual cars, others just sculpted freehand and used as a mold) and we teach THEORY on those pieces for the first part. Once they understand what the film can and cannot do, and most of all what the film WANTS to do, then we transition to actual vehicles and learn those. Once you know the theories of how we design kits to cover then I don't have to make a tack diagram for each of our over 50,000 applications...the student already knows where to start and how to tackle each part as those six pieces cover the basics on what they will find in the real world.

My guess is Zeus studies the nose with these things in mind and starts from there (am I right?).

Hope to see ya'll at SEMA!

Cheers,

Costas

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
