It's more about profiling since 9/11

To prevent legal actions for installation of illegal tint on front doors & to keep track of front doors your shop tinted in case of a waranty issue, I write my reciepts as follows: If I tint as an example 4 doors and the back window my reciept reads (tinted rear 1/2 ONLY) if I tint the back doors and back window my reciept reads (tinted rear 1/2) I USE THE WORD "ONLY" TO REPRESENT THE TWO FRONT DOORS. for 23 years its worked for me. The signed statement method is proof in a court of law that you knew it was illegal and did it anyway. That info came from my lawer.

same here. No matter what you have done, my receipt reads either rear half four door sedan/coupe or back glass only, etc

same with the warranty card, since warranties don't cover illegal film

So, Scotty.....after all your railing of others, you DO tint illegally !!!! Otherwise, why would you fill out ALL of your receipts to say REAR HALF OF FOUR DOOR blah blah blah, no matter what you have done??? AND the same with the warranty card?? If you're doing it legal, why have to forge the paperwork??? I hope your film manny is here reading this...........lots of voided warranties from your shop............... :lol

last time I checked, its no secret that I tint illegally :trustme you can't make a living tinting legal in MI, when we can have NOTHING on the fronts, and every other hack shop does whatever you want. as I have said, I have my limits, such as no darker than 20% on the fronts, not even 15%.

ask snappy, blade, TINT, anyone else. Like YOU have never installed one illegal piece of film?

Just don't go preaching about it on a public forum, and expecting praise for your installs(DJs 15% on the shield kills me :lol )

I'm not an advocate for legal tinting, but when your state has no recourse for illegal tinting, and if you did legal you would have no business, you gotta do what you gotta do

Now thats too funny. How hypocritical can you get??? You tint illegally but rail others for doing it?? If you do it too, you cant say sh!t.......I would say to take your own advice, DONT GO PREACHING!!! You claim you are not an advocate of LEGAL tint, but have no problem with preaching to anyone who does illegal tint. Pull your head out of your arse, scotty, until you do it by the book, keep your mouth shut!!

As far as tell me that I hav tinted illegally, put your memory to work, dipsh!t, I HAVE NEVER, EVER, TINTED A CAR. NOT ONE!! Not even my own. So, guess what, bubba, I, not YOU can throw stones.

AND, nice job of throwing Snappy, Blade, TINT under the bus.............bet they love having you pull them down with ya............................. :mad

I'm pretty sure he used to be all for signing waivers too... And now that somebody mentioned it's a misdemeanor he's vomiting that back up. He flips and flops.

We all know what we do, and what we don't, we have our reasons. I agree that the law is the law but you can't blame a guy for choosing to have work and feed his kids than to not have work... I think it was TINT that mentioned all the other things other shops don't get chased for. So whatever. I'm just glad I live where I do with the vague laws we have, and out of respect I prefer to keep the limo papas on the shelf. I've found it's not hard to talk guys out of going stupid dark.

On a side note... whether you do it or not, just use your head :lol2

I used to use the waiver thing a year or two ago, but after reading and talking on here about it my opinion has changed, once I realized how, as I and others have said, it can easily backfire on you.

I don't "flip and flop", do a search, I'm all against waivers now, and for the last 6 months-1year

Well, I would say that Sunlimited is a good reference..............and I believe he knows I would'nt touch a car if you paid me 10 times the amount. Plus add in all the bullsh!t with laws, idiots coming back with stupid issues, theres a good reason. Flat glass has paid the bills long enough and I dont need more. And I dont remember Flip flopping beong mentioned, the word was Hypocritical, or by definition telling someone they shouldnt do something when you do the same!!!

Its funny, if concentration was put on the flat glass end of filming, the issue of illegal tinting on cars would become moot, since cars would not become so relied upon. But, as you have stated before, you dont care about this industry, it;s just a way to make money until you get through school. :lol2

Bottom line, it is up to each person to know the laws and to abide or not abide as they decide.

That being said, there are penalties for not complying, those who do not have consequences to face.

So true....................just don't preach the opposite of what ye do!!!

link seems to not be working.

Basically states that a tinter has to inform the customer of the tint laws and have the customer sign a "waiver" if you will, if they decide to have illegal tinting installed.

Thus clearing the shop from any wrong doing.

In NJ anyway.

Wow, I can honestly say I've never seen that before. Interesting. I wish more states would do this.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
