I don't understand how EWF and Global can be sold in the same territory? Howard's territory is California, so if a potential customer in CA wants to buy TB, shouldn't Global get pissed off? btw... I like TB over QDP.

according to globals website, howard has west and northeast territories, which I didn't know. However, they are sold as two different brands of film, so theres not a whole lot global can do about it. Global is distributed under global west/northeast distributor companies, not Express window films. also, express has a LOT more films to pick from than TB. Hell, they have more films than all of global does, in both auto and FG films.

If I was Global, I wouldn't want one of my distributors selling a different film other than my own. How does that make any sense?

There are +/- to factory and privately owned distribution setups. You've pinpointed one of the downfalls, I would say they are able to be more flexible and that is a benefit. Several Global guys switched to offering Maxpro this year, that was an example of the downfall to it.. tough to get loyalty while offering other products. :nope Same thing happened with ASWF and Suntek this year.

But the point of Express is national sales, Global is only in certain territories. Its quite an impressive setup if you ask me.

:hmmm The thing I find most amazing is the size of the company. The customer service makes you feel as if he has ten customers, but the stock says otherwise. No matter what film I order from him, auto or FG, even partial FG rolls, its ALWAYS instock and ships out the same day. I find that amazing for a privately owned company, especially one with over 110 films/shades to pick from. Hell, there were times I'd try and order qdp and they were out of it at my distributor for a couple days.

      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!
