From what I see in that picture looks good to me.Tint is an aftermarket product put on your car and it will be never 100% debris free.. it will probrably water behind the tint so let it dry. if you get little speck here and there you'll have to live with it. 2cents

I agree that it will never be perfect, but if I could show you what I see then you would understand. I'll just wait and see what he says in the morning. Thanks again everyone.

If he called you to see if your happy, he is a stand up tinter. Don't sweat it, any tinter that uses Llumar and does quality calls, will most likely resolve any issue you have. Although you feel like you had problems, you made a good choice on a tinter.

I had 35 on it first when I bought it, but it started rippling on the driver side window to where I couldn't see out the rearview mirror, so I had it redone with 28, and I think 15 on the back windshield.

And by the way, to that one guy...what the hell are you talking about??? I didn't get the windshield tinted, that's the passenger side window.

If he had to strip and retint it then it's probably a little bit of adhesive he missed when scraping the windows. That being said your first tint job on a vehicle will always be the best but im sure if there is adhesive left over from before he already knew it. I'll let it go alot of times too unless I missed a big chunk somewhere.

Looks good from my house! Bubbles? The only Bubbles that I know works down the street at a strip club. Give it time to dry it's just tint. Your suppose to look thru it not at it.

Well...it's kinda hard to look through it when your view is obstructed by large clusters of bubbles!!! Anyway, I met with him today and he said that he wants to redo the entire truck. So apparently, it was something that would not have dried up on its own. He said he must have just had a really bad day... :rimshot Thanks again. Oh yeah...and "Fords suck?" Really? What do you drive, a Mighty Max? :thumb

If I tinted it and had you bring it to me I'd redo it. I hate speckled tint rolling around.

:thumb:lol6

I can attest tthat if it's felt, he may have missed them inside his garage, but if he's good, he would know to back the car out of the garage and recheck the window for ugliness. :lol

      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?

      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!
