I think I'm gonna try the NR Classic Charcoal 1.2 20% for my explorer and NR Classic Charcoal 1.2 5% for my mustang. Any problems with shrinking this tint?

I just hope that this tint will look black and not greyish.

no shrinks easy it has a brown hue like qdp and suntek standard the true smoke has a greenish hue like carbon and and supreme

i always thought the true black 35% was a closer match to factory? the only reason it looked lighter from the side was due to the amount of light allowed through the windshield. hmmm, ive had no complaints here in the midwest. guess i will stick with it. hey howard ive been using your true black for awhile now, why do you offer a lifetime warranty on this film when some of the guys on here are saying this film will fade? i have talk to you on the phone a couple times, great customer service! thanks again, Tony

Hi NextLevel !!!

We do hear from customers on a regular basis that the TB is a very good match for factory on many vehicles. That being said, I don't think that any single manufacturer or product line has a "lock" on that characteristic. Some feel brand "X" matches better on car "L" and so forth.

On that warranty coverage, I trust that each roll you receive does have the warranty cards in each box which details the coverage. TB is a lifetime film, but only EWF's traditional dip-dyed films (Classic Series) and Global carry the Color Stable Coverage. The cost per vehicle to upgrade to a CS film is quite small. If you want to call me, we can go over the math and see if it will work on your end.

We have dealers that use nothing but CS, nothing but non-CS and a combination of both for decades. Our philosophy is to present you with a wide range of choices and technical guidance to help you make a educated guess. We don't have all the answers, but we do have all the choices.

I could write 5,000 words on this but generally speaking:

Non CS Films:

Coated Films - Tend to gain VLT, but hold their color well.

Chip Dyed Extruded Films - Tend to hold their VLT, but undergo a color shift

CS Films:

Dip Dyed Polyester (Such as Llumar, Global, etc...)

These are the "Gold Standard" and are backed by full CS warranties

The first versions of TB were Chip Dyed Extruded and were more vulnerable to color shift. To rectify the situation, the more recent versions incorporated some of the color within the laminating adhesive (like Coated Films) which brought about a significant improvement in the color longevity. Still, dip-dyed films will always be king.

TB remains a huge volume product for EWF and most of the orders ship out to repeat customers. The color/price/performance metrics on this product are working well for a significant number of our customers.

Thanks for the kind words and as always, I would be happy to discuss this in detail with you on the phone.

-Howard

      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.
