Switching to Sun Tek's Carbon Film- Any Warnings or Praise??

[Guest tint325i]

I quite like the film to use but yes the scratchcoat is useless, the main problem I see with it is removal, ive never seen such a messy nightmare of an adhesive to remove, makes a 5minute removal a half hour nightmare, you just got to hope you never have to take any off!!

how long ago were you guys having problems? do we know if any changes been made to the film since?

ive been using it for about 16 months now,

pros - looks good, shrinks really well, installs relatively good, price, ive had no come backs in my time using it, its non metal so safe for electronic devices, maintains relatively high heat rejection

cons - adhesive is really aggressive therefore you really have to squeegee it out fast and you dont have much time if it needs peeling back at all cause of a large bit of contamination, because of this adhesive its a bitch to remove film after its cured, scratch coat scratches easier than other films but youg et used to it and rarely will scratch a window, does not like alcohol or a tack solution it eats the adhesive.

overall its my main line I use, it takes a little getting used to but give it time and its pretty good!

give it a try I say order a roll or 2 and try it on a few cars and let your expirience be the main decission maker !

Is it not meant not be coming out with new S/C soon ?

If this issue gets resolved, I think it will be dogs bollocks

I like it. I had to increase the J/J in my slip but once I did that....fingers like to stay down, peel up is no longer an issue. BUT, I've only been using it for two months so ask me in a year.

if you use alcohol in anyway. stop using it. the film with bubble within a month or so.

don't detail it too much or you'll detail the dye right out of it.

Wonder how many peeps are using alcohol

Thanks Blade

I like this film a lot-use it along side j greystone-shrinks great and I thought it was really easy to handle

did notice the scratch coating is not up to par

[Guest tintec]

great all round film,agree scratchcoat is terrible though

[micro-edge]

Ive been using the clear max and the soft blue hard card and my scratching on installs has been much less. Carbon xp is blowing the regular carbon away on the IR lamp/meter..installed some xp yesterday and it looks and installed nice,little more blue looking than green..

So far so good here with the carbon - no issues so far
