SUNTEK CARBON FILM FADES

[blade]

I've had no issues or come-backs with suntek's carbon here. but our climate is pretty forgiving compared to many.

I've been using Carbon since it came out and only had a few isolated cases. Must've been a bad roll or something. Very nice film and a great upsell of the Suntek High Performance.

I just had a stang come back.I used suntek carbon.he had fading around the top edge of the window where it meets the rubber gasket.I just stripped it and retinted it.who goes thru all the hasell of calling the distributor and trying to get a refund on the film?just redo the one or two windows that come back a year.

I had the same problem on my car. It was on there for a little less then 2 years. It is a very nice film to work with but longevity (< 2 years?) is an issue that cannot be overlooked. This was about 2-3 years ago.

If one or two that come back a year is all you get, then that's not bad. It's when something goes horribly wrong and you start getting one or two a week that will change your mind in a hurry. Hopefully that won't happen though.

Dont you guys understand? one or two cars coming back is just the start of a storm .

[blade]

not necessarily....there are such things as bad rolls. :inot

[Guest FAST TINT MAN]

I'm glad you did post this.. I hold judgement out on the film..but personally I'm shockeed at how many tinters jumped on a relatively new film without any longevity history. Being "user friendly " and "looks good" is only a percentage of what really matters if your an established business and hope to have rtepeat customers. :inot

I hope this is an isolated incident and therefore gives tinters more choices if wanting to change brands..with that said, I hope others report if the film is giving long term grief to save others aggrivation when choosing brands..fait enough to say :inot
