yea i was told by clearplex to expect some better products a few times too, never happened. were you working with that material bulk?

Yah, I was installing bulk, but making templates for eventual patterns. Do you (or anyone) know how to get a hold of the other company that is supposedly making windshield film that is easier to install? Their website is continuously under construction and no phone number...

Be aware that these are two totally different things! It is very confusing that a film & a 'wax' are named almost identically.

The windshield 'wax' or pretty much a rain-x product makes me feel it is a hoax or scammy... They say they are changing the chemical bonding of the glass to make it stronger. They are basically selling a windshield insurance plan to car dealerships, that the customer pays for.

Notice the spelling... DIAMON fusion, not DiamonD Fusion...

I consider it fishy that we cannot seem to be able to get a phone number for this other windshield film.

i found this online

http://www.diamonfus...ve_Brochure.pdf

someone in a forum asked Premier if there were dealers in his area and they gave this email for the manufacturer. sales@prestige-films.com

im definitely going to look into this. thanks for the tip

Dianond Fusion film isnt too bad. I got some from the Rep and installed it on my daily driver. It lasted until I hit the car wash... in which thhe top coat immediately came off. Now I did hold the nozzle about 18 inches from the windshield... but I expected it to be a little more durable than that. Once the top coat is gone it is garbage and will scratch with a rag. My distributor say that the film is actually an anti-vandalism film which is not really made for vehicles. Its a good temporary film and would work well for garage queens that are hand washed everytime. But I would not seel it to anyone for a daily driver... especially where there are bugs. Its not easy to install and the warranty doesnt cover labor.

Good to know, becoming a dealer for that stuff is like a 5k investment from what I hear. I know its popular on shower doors and glass to prevent hard water.

Yeah I was turned off by it. I also didnt care much for the lack of assitance from Premier when I had issues with the material since Premier evidently are "THE GUYS" to go to due to their experience with it. I assume the large up front deposit is to cover warranty claims over the years... plus there is a tremendous markup with the install to help cover the lack of durability. The other main isue I have with it is techinically it is illegal to install. If someone gets into a wreck they will come back after you for installing it. It may be a clear film but I did notice it has a slight distortion to it which does alter your vision... although slightly. But thats enough to get sued over in the lawsuit happy country.

      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.
