All depends on which NV is installed and which geo you're using.

Take off NV45 and install Geo30....yeah and improvement.

Remove NV15/25/35 and he may not notice a difference.

But at least it will look better.

Yeah it was NV45.

NV45 is the worst choice for West exposure but it probably was the only film the previous dealer had that least affected the look of the building (If they even took it into consideration :beer ). White blinds are going to make even a single-ply 30% ceramic jump out on those clear panes when the blinds are closed and it will look brown. If there is a HOA in that building and they have CC&R's against changing the exterior appearance of the building, your customer could be forced to remove the film. That would be bad.

If I had a choice 60%-70%vlt XIR preferably AG technology and get the HOA's blessing if there are any CC&R's. But to guarantee the high dollar stuff will feel more comfortable than the NV 45 did? Wew! It works, but the court of personal opinion can be brutal. :dunno

You're a risk taker CE :) Hopefully the heat rejection improves since it is NV 45 but taking yours off and refunding 100% if he's not completely satisified :) that could get costly with ceramics.

I wouldnt be able to sleep at night if I threw some film on and the customer didnt think there was any improvement. What am I supposed to do, take his cash and say see yah, hope everything works out for the best. You gotta stand by your films 100%...Because customers can see right thru you after they been jipped already by another company.

I asked the guy did they offer you anything from the prestige line? He said "whats that?" I said its the top of the line 3m carries. He said, really? the previous guy said this was the top of the line stuff... :thumb Now see this previous A-hole has just made my sell even harder. How is the customer going to trust anyone that walks thru the door with film samples in tow?? And as far as the color, the Geoshield has a slight greenish blue hue to the films which will blend in nicely. And as you can see in the pictures the current brown film is not noticeable from the exterior. He had his shades closed when I arrived and I happened to look up.

You're also moving up from VLR of 9.4% to 13%.

I'd say it's time to go-go-gadget Huper Optik or V-Kool.

Actually Dan, I spoke with someone from MidWest and they have some nice VKool pricing and they do partial rolls!!! No Buy In! GettyUP!

It is :lol2 to have a distributor who competes against you as a dealer.

Even more :mad that a dealer would spend a penny with a distributor like that.

Yeah I heard that about them. Hey if they do get it, they would hire me to hang it for $2.50 per sf (thats what they pay) And then I would have to warranty it...lol I believe there isnt any other VKool dealer within 150 miles of Columbus...

      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?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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!
