Spi vision - cast

Completely different , not 100% on the above facts, but I don't think I'm far wrong.

I don't think you are far wrong either.

Malcolm, all you say is quite true... there is a place for both products. SPi Vision differs from the fact it has a enhanced adhesive system snd that doesn't leave any trace on the lens. It's solid black construction allows better finish, no white edge to hide, I cannot vouch for other products but i am assured SPi Vision doesn't alter the beam or change the bulb colour. All MOT/VOSA tests have approved it, so as to not fail the MOT.

SPi Vision has already been used successfully on complicated lenses like the Nissan Juke, Range Rover Vogue and Peugeot RCZ

Like all these types of lens coverings you have to watch how you treat rear reflectors, ensure that HID Bulbs are tipped/cowled and the lens are OEM/Factory approved. More details can be found at www.spi-vision.co.uk

If you carefully at the pic of the rcz, there is sort of two parts to the front lights, a big bulge on the front part, a semi circular ridge type groove and a more flat part towards the rear, that's the hardest part to lay down, you got to get film up from the bottom that hasn't had the crap heated out of it that has some life left in it to carry on the job.

I've done other cars before by removing the lights, can be tricky, need a third pair of hands to keep the light unit still, I prefer to keep the light units in, solid surface to work from, I just trim round the edge of the light , and heat it hard and push the edge down with a felt card.not gona peel

Are any of you finding that spi vision is effecting night time vision? Couple of customers are saying that the headlights aren't as bright with the film as they were before? Great film though and a brilliant add on; almost every customer I get for tinting I push spi vision and most are having it done.

Done 3 transporters in the last week and got a 55 plate hyundai coupe to do on saturday so that should look brilliant. :)

      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.

      Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check. You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.

      hey everyone today i was tinting a BMW front windshield i don't remember which model. Anyways while shrinking fingers closer to the side edge it seems like it will end up creasing while i follow the wet shrinking process. I would like to learn how to fix this or get around it i also would like to stick to wet shrinking heres a video to see what happened and fyi this doesn't happen to me with every vehicle https://www.kapwing.com/videos/663028c4f4e49a37cd3b9eed. THANKS

      High speed material feed

      The Graphtech plotters are all about the same from 7000 to 8600. I doubt that the machine was the problem If changing software fixed the issue.

      High speed material feed

      Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno
