I shared this with Joe D' in an email. 95% of what we sell is HP, however, I have had the Sirius product on my Nissan for almost 5 years and it looks as good as the day it was installed. I have Tint Shops that service New Car Dealerships and have had no issues.

After having used the ValueTint sample roll I can tell you that I think it is a decent film. Mark is a decent guy. The Sirius feels and smells like Global QDP. I noticed a distortion pattern the same as Global too. I really like the films looks. It shrinks well. A very clean installing film too. I am fearful of the distortion pattern though. Again, it was minor but it WAS there. Use with caution. I will probably order some again and try it out some more.

wetint............that sounds like a good and fair review. I have liked the film as well but have not had any distortion issues. I am not using the sirius line though. I have the eclipse line. Don't know if that makes a differnce in what you are experiencing or not.

Okay, so... Today I was tinting an Acura TL for a dealer here in town(with Maddy- Jeese have they raised their prices!) when he asked me if I could also tint a TSX. I knew I had a TSX pattern on the truck but I didn't know what film it was cut in. You see in the last month (since Solargard stole my biggest dealrship away from me while I was using their film :thumb ) I have asked for and used several different manus.

So I said I could tint the TSX and then went though my patterns on the truck.

I found the TSX pattern that was cut about 2 or 3 weeks ago. On rolling out the pattern (we cut these ahead of time and keep them on the truck for just such a situation) I looked carefully for the distortion pattern I knew had to have developed over the time it was on the truck. Bear in mind that the temperature has been in the 80's for the past several days too. Many of the other films I have tried DID contain the distortion pattern after only a couple of days, so this was a relief to say the least.

I could not find a pattern of distortion in the pieces I had! I was absolutely amazed! :lol2

So I installed it. And it looked great too. The thing I like about this stuff is it doesn't collect dust and debris when you install it. It looks nearly perfect too. I'm thinking it might be worth the risk afterall.

Now, if it only lasts. :rollin

Anybody else have any thoughts? Let's communicate! :thumb

I have been using it in my school some this week messing around and it really shrinks good. I haven’t seen any liner separation and have had students really abusing it while learning how much heat to use. Film only last about 1 minute here :lol2:thumb:thumb but I’m sure this would last longer if we didn’t rip it off and start over! Glue does set up fast. :rollin

      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!
