I used to love it, then I had to kill it. :lol2 I switched from forever using Llumar to Advantage after reading about it on here and getting some samples. I loved it. :lol2 This last fall I ordered another batch, this time trying Raven 1.5. Went on milky, then fell off, literally. Every roll I had I tried, and as soon as we'd back it out, it would start peeling off the window. I called them, they said they had no problems. I switched slip solutions and even brought out a new sprayer. Tried very little baby shampoo (recommended by them), and more than usual. Nothing, still peeled back off of any window. I was talking to a gal who came to pick up her car and as we were talking it started peeling off the corner of her back window and just kept going! What do you say!? While talking to the company itself on the phone I watched a simple Ram back window peel away a foot on each side and kept going! :lol2 I said I wanted the old (cheaper) stuff back, so they traded me, said they would make an exception and not charge my card for the new stuff until they got the old back. They did it anyway. Then they said they would only give me credit for what was on the rolls, even though I told them I had to redo everything I used it on. Then my wife had to call them over and over to get our money credited back. :lol2 I don't know what happened to this outfit but it's not the same, neither is the tint. The stuff they sent, the regular ADC, rolls up tight as soon as you pull the liner. I can't even do a side window without it rolling up on itself. :lol2 I still have some of the old stuff from several years ago and it's perfect! I've switched brands again and learned my lesson. :lol2

I know I never post on here, but I have watched and learned from this site for several years :lol2 . As far as any bashing, I was just relating my experience and problems with a tint that I really used to like. The thing I forgot is that we had to toss all hard cards with this tint because it scratches easily. I never had these problems with 10+ years of ATR, but when I moved I was in the "territory" of another Llumar tinter and it became so much of a hassle to get it, I gave it up. Whenever I called about the Advantage, they would transfer me to "Ricky", I believe, who was doing installs himself out in the "shop". This also made me wonder what kind of outfit I was now dealing with :lol2 . Who knows, and frankly, I don't care anymore. I boxed the stuff up nice and dropped it at my competitors door. :lol2

      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!
