a "value" tint that impressed me and all of our installers recently..............valuetint. great looking stuff, great adhesive, great shrinkability, and clarity. just my opinion of course but I'd install that stuff again anyday. :poke

I don't research shiat because I'm installing everyday so maybe it's some reboxed shiat that I don't seem to like......who knows :lol

I feel that if im spending less than 200 for a 40 inch roll then im not applying a good film but thats just me

:poke I agree 100%. what's a film that's less than that a roll???????? a film I won't be installing for most anyone, that's what it is. :lol

global QD, QDP, most EWF films, carbon is like what ten dollars over that, SG's Smoke, if you would ever install that :lol

not a global fan....never have been. EWF...I think I might have had a sample roll (can't remember with so many sample rolls being sent to me). carbon is not one I'll install anymore. SG's smoke....no thank you. we'll stick to buying the films that might cost alittle more but have proven themselves. as for advantage......it should be called DISadvantage. total crap IMO.

DIS advantage - :lol

Eh, like I said, it installs nice, looks nice, I haven't seen a single film related issue in a year, so far it has been better for me than SunTek or SolarGard. If I had one bad thing to say at all about the film is it does have a bit of an orange peel texture to it, but no one has said anything to me about it, just something I have seen, and it might only be on the raven 1.5, haven't paid attention on the others I use. I was worried about longevity, but so far still looks great on my personal car and a few that have come in for other work that we tinted look good. I guess I will have to revisit this next summer, lol and see if I still feel the same.

Express True Black works great for me! Using for about 2 years now No returns, color stable, easy to shrink, pretty forgiving, Good price point, 1.5 Mil , Fast and friendly service! No haze over hear but give the guys a call im sure theres a reason why.

      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!
