Which one do you prefer to use, the 'old' Venture Shield or the new Clear Coat?

Both seem to have problems, the old one has had a lot of marks in the glue, etc, and the new one gets a mark even from a rubber squegee. It's not very nice to have a white, ugly glue mark on a hood of a Ferrari or a 'nice' scratch...

I like the old film I use the ultra 100% now. Usually when they were tweaking the equipment many rolls had issues with dirt and marks in the film. I don't remember a glue issue and the marks in the film are installer issues you need to keep the film wet with soap or try a different squeegee :lol6

It's the smaller one, the customer decided last minute they only wanted the bumper and mirrors so I got stuck with a hood piece. It sucks when that happens :krazy

If you are not doing this already, charge them for the parts when they schedule the vehicle and let them know once they are ordered they can not be returned. We did this after a customer stood us up an an entire job. If they have to pay for parts when they set up the appointment, they are less likely to cancel, and if they do, you aren't stuck with parts you paid for and now can't sell or use. This will less of a problem if you ever decide to cut your own kits.

When we were ordering our kits, we did a 1 week reminder call to confirm the appointment, and at that time I let them know we would be ordering the parts so they could not change their minds. It worked for us. This requires someone manning the phone, but it beats being stood up for work after the part is ordered.

Ok, thanks, gotta try that one, the squegee should be the 'right' one, and fairly new, too and the installer knows all about wetting the film, so don't know... Just a tip for ya, the Ferrari factory has proven Venture Shield at least in Europe, and all the models need a LOT of Venture.. pricing can be very good, too...

      Reduce or eliminate air flow. Also, dirt/ dust on the exterior or interior can float onto the window. You can mist or cover the interior with a towel.

      Technique is everything. Your side window preparation should go something like this: Spray the glass with soap solution. Razor blade the window to loosen contaminants. Spray the glass again. Scrub the window with a scouring sponge. Spray the glass again. WIPE THE WINDOW EDGES INCLUDING THE TOP OF THE GLASS with a clean rag or paper towel. Carefully squeegee the soapy water off the window in a pattern that zig zags sending the contaminated water downwards and overlaps by an inch to ensure correct coverage, and make sure your squeegee blade is leaning forwards at an angle so you don't leave a trail behind. Flush the vertical sides and bottom of the window to expel any residual dirty water. If you do this EXACTLY AS I SAY you will reduce the risk of getting crap under the film by 98% You can thank me later.

      ^^^ great list of good habits. If your working on cars with rubber gaskets, roll down the windows first and spray them with SprayAway glass cleaner. Use a triangle card of some kind wrapped with a microfiber towel to scrub the dirt out and give it a couple squirts of water to flush it. Use the towel and triangle again when you're prepping the glass. Don't forget to scrub the top edge of the glass.

      It's important to prepare well, like taping felt to prevent the little particles from bleeding out, making sure to thoroughly clean the glass and sides, anywhere the film may touch. Also make sure the bottom flap is out of the way so that you can place the film with minimal manipulation. The more you have to move the film around to get it into position, the more chance you have of creasing it and or getting contamination. Also, make sure you touch the film adhesive side as little as possible. Having the glass ready so that you can handle the film well, without touching anything but the glass and not letting the film flop around or having to force it in somewhere. Another thing is that if there is any shrinking that needs to be done, do it before installing, as every time a finger pops up it brings a bit of dirt under with it. Work in a clean shop, mist the air around your work area right before pulling the liner also mitigates some of the airborne dust etc.

      Wassup everyone. I been practicing tinting on a few cars (mine and my family's) for about 2 months now and I feel like I've improved a lot since I first started. I do get these tiny bubbles around the edges sometimes. Can anyone give me any tips on how I can mitigate or eliminate these? (Ik its likely contamination but what can I do to improve my installation?)
