So, what are everyones thoughts in what changes will happen now that Madico owns them???

I hope Madico doesn't screw with the film. The new NR line has been nice and a big change from the old desert smoke days. I used the old film for years and hated it. No choice since the shop I worked for carried it. Poor adhesive, faded to clear way to quick and the film was always changing and getting worst.

The new film seems to really have changed. I think its still to soon to tell how well things are going to hold up. What worries me is the name Madico. Never like Madico due to the color and quality. For the price Lulu was always leaps and bounds better. Even SunTek was several steps above. :twocents

With the new purchase of SunGard it keeps me looking at back up plans. Hoping things stay the same and the price doesn't get screwed up.

I'm with you and never cared for Madico. I hope they don't screw with SunGard film or the price. Also I hope they don't change the name because SunGard sounds so much better than Madico.

:lol2 If Madico is now involved be prepared to spend waaaayyy more for it :lol:thumb

Don't get me wrong because I love SunGard but if Madico tries to raise prices on SunGard then most likely they too will be soon looking to sell off the SunGard brand.

The #1 reason a manufacturer cannot pay an installer to perform a warranty on an illegal installation is not because they want a way out. It is because they do not want to be held liable for what might happen because of that illegal installation.

Crazy as it sounds anyone tinting illegally is one accident away from a nasty lawsuit.

I understand that but this is not just illegal tint jobs that are failing. It is not just one roll either. It is 38%, 20% and 5%. If you go back to the original post you can see it is one legal job, one 20 and one 5. I have 9 jobs I have redone out of my pocket. ALL CLAIMS WERE DENIED. I tried for 90 days plus to resolve this before coming here and starting this thread.

As far as the HP goes when I get back from vacation I have some pics and video of that failing too. Removes like Saran wrap and I was using ultra bond as recommended by FTI. LOL what a waste of money that was. But o. The other hand I have had a few of the HP CH li e that was a monster to remove so go figure?

I have moved on to better films but as long as the sungarbage rolls thru the door I will keep this thread alive with proof in pictures. Heck I'll show anyone who wants to see my invoices for the last 3 years and the loyalty to sungarb and the fact that it is really sungard films failing.

On last thing I want to address is that it has been made clear to me by Gary at courage that this is like a "joke" or fun for me. Well that is crap! I support myself and family with tinting and this situation is NOT fun for me in any way! This killed me I had to take money from my Vegas marriage to get in more film to put on these custys cars and that HURTS, mentally to tell someone I love so much that we can't get married because of this chitty situation.

So THIS IS NOT FUN OR AMUSING TO ME IT IS STRAIGHT UP BS NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT. And it also hurts my reputation locally so again NOT "fun".

Sorry for any misspelled words I am on a phone to post this.

I can't comment on SunGard's lower level films but I have been using SunGard Perform X slate with no issue since their restructure. We have been in business here for going on 16 years without too many issues at all and when there have been issues Bill has always taken care of them. I only met Bill once but so far every time he said he will do something for me he has. I don't think that Shadow is SunGard's premium or high performance film. I believe it is just above the their economy line. Again, I can't comment on Shadow because I haven't used it but SunGard, Perform X Slate and Bill Stewart have been good to me so far.

Regardless of top of the line or not it is being sold as a color stable lifetime film. And 6 weeks to currently 6 months is FAR FAR FAR AWAY from lifetime. I have remVu no name film lasting longer that this "lifetime" film.

Well i just wanted to say that i have been laying sun gard for about 3 years now, the only issue i have had with any automotive film was when they had me lay some film they had just constructed called black lava , which thank god it stayed where it stayed. Now i use all the nr films amd love it. I also use nothing but sungard for my residential and commercial film. Now as far as Bill from solomatrix i dont know his history from the past with sungard but from what i have read here, but my opinion of him as a person and business side he has done nothing but give me full support! And my sales rep that i have has always went way out of here way to make sure i have what me and my customers need. Im not to accepting of the madico issue . But until i see it hurting me and my bottom line i will stick with them! :beer

      South facing window tint

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint?

      South facing window tint

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      South facing window tint

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      South facing window tint

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.

      South facing window tint

      Hi folks, I have south facing double pane windows that get a lot sun here in Las Vegas. Those windows get extremely hot and I want to get them tinted. I do not mind if they are black, mirror, dark, light, etc. I am looking for performance blocking the heat without doing a complete blackout. Initially I was thinking of going with 3M Prestige 70 since 3M is the only reputable brand I could think but I did read a few posts here in the forum and I see that there is other brands with perhaps better products like “Huper Optik”. I have not reached out to installers yet since I wanted to research what would be the best product for my needs, could you folks recommend a product that would fit the bill? Thank you!

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Dry shrink is akin to moving from the horse and buggy age to the age of automobiles; not only innovative, but you find yourself getting to your destination quicker. Dry shrink is also less damaging to the chemical properties of the film itself. And like Bham has pointed out in different words, work smart not harder. TD mentioned the wet check after dry shrinking, which is a technique used by many in the early stages of learning to dry shrink. Plenty of demos on Youtube.

      You REALLY need to learn to dry shrink. That type of finger would not happen and would be way easier to manipulate before failure. It's not about the time you wait for the prep surface to dry, it is about the ease of shrinking difficult windows without them being difficult. Dry shrinking makes our work so much easier. Your quality of installs will go way up and time spent on tough back glasses or windshields will go way down. The stress of doing a difficult shrink is way less once you learn the ropes of dry shrinking. If you want to improve your craft and get better at installs you are probably gonna have to learn to dry shrink sooner or later.
