Guess what, it was my wifeys car. A 1995 Mitsubishi V3000 wagon. Cake right.

Screwed up the back glass three times before she called me in to cool off with some lunch. Time on Youtube and TD!.

Spotted where I was going wrong, (I was creasing the film during the shrink) I was not dividing the fingers small enough and was using a hard card.

I used a shop towel soaked in J&J and took my time. Got it down first hit!

Doesn't it just it rip your nightee when its your own car!! :lol6

Happy New Year to All!

  We've seen it on new vehicles, polishing it should remove it. Definitely not the shops fault.

  no, aside from window cleaner I’ve not tried anything else yet like goo gone, a razerblade, etc… I’ll probably leave that to the detailer. question: when polishing glass will it impact the visibility after? I guess I’m now weighing between having them try to correct it or just leaving it be.

  Geoshield vs Maxpro
  
  Global HP and Ceramic. Using it full time for seven years and not a single failure that wasn't my fault.

  Boat window tinting tips
  
  I start those at $750 and go up. Best advice is no cutting on the glass and white scrubbie only, no cleaning blades. That glass is super soft. You may want to use a film liner to make a template to cut your patterns.

  Geoshield vs Maxpro
  
  Hi! I’m new to the tinting world. Just completed a 5 day tinting course and want to purchase some films to start my mobile tinting. We trained with Geosheild, but there was a lot of talk about Maxpro and how it was good as well. Does anyone have experience with both of these? Which one is better to work with and easier to shrink? Prices on both are pretty close to each other. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

  I have seen an acid do something similar to this…have you tried lightly using a razor blade or steel wool carefully?
