I did back in the day when I was strickly mobile. I only use to service dealerships. And I had a few used car guys want me to do work for them. Is was normally more of a BS hassle for trying to tint in. It did work well for some of the other work I use to do. I would only work mobile through places that will sell work for you and give you space to work in. Or check into renting a small bay in your area.

It would be a investment but a Sprinter type van with a roll/pull out tent with inflatable support like a Quonset hut would be nice. Heat and air control from the van. With white mat canvas extra lighting would be minimum. Load the van with generator, tint, tools and lunch for a mobile business in a area where there are several small towns in driving distance so you could service different towns on certain days. Renting a spot to set up should be minimum cost.

This all would be a job to figure out but it is a thought coming from a guy who has spent over 500,000 on lease's in the last 7 years alone. :twocents

If anyone ever runs across a inflatable building like this please let me know and I will work out the details............. I'm ready :beer

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      The coating can be removed by "dry scraping" with stainless single edge razor blades, but it is very time consuming and tedious. The coating comes off like a super fine powder. If done correctly there is no damage to the glass and you can tint it just fine after a thorough cleaning. I scraped the drivers door clean after making the mistake of scratching the coating but I did not scrape the passenger side. After tinting you could not tell the difference between the two.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      Sure looks like auto glass technology is advancing. I remember the coating on Lexus and some Toyota models could be removed with a glass polish. It took some effort to get to the glass itself and that was an anti-fog coating technology. This IR/UV coating is looking like it is more robust. I wouldn't want to be the one experimenting with whatever product to attempt removal of it. The UV rating is 99%+ reduction, but they limit what they say about IR performance to: Mitigates sense of intense heat on the skin ... Controls rising cabin temperatures. The link is to a company that apparently is deep into providing glass with this coating and they certainly limit info. Take a look for yourself. This appears to be something that could/would expand to more brands/models. It sure is going to put a new slant on selling film and installing film to cars. https://www.cgc-jp.com/products/search_category/automotiveglass/ircut.html

      We run our hand across the glass since you can feel the coating. Basically, if it does not feel like normal glass, assume it has the coating.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      I'm sure you are aware of this problem - that Lexus and some other manufacturers decided to install this super sensitive coating to the inside of the glass, that cannot be razor scraped at all. I had one a couple years ago and I had no idea what I was getting into you, and figured it was a one-time deal where the manufacturers realized what a stupid idea it was, & wouldn't do it anymore. Well, a week ago I had a brand new all electric Subaru SUV. It had the exact same thing on the front 2 windows - IR or UV coating that cannot be touched ! Didn't know about it & gouged the coating with my razor blade ... SO ... Does anyone know or have access to some sort of a complete list of these vehicles? I was informed by my sales rep that anyone using the core software from Llumar gets these notes about potential problems with the software - I don't understand why all Llumar dealers don't get the same updates. I was completely unaware of this and it's going to cost me quite a bit of money to fix it because even though I didn't do anything wrong, it did happen at my shop!

      Mutoh Plotter

      Anyone used/using a Mutoh VC-2 plotter for tint? I have one I am using for vinyl and want to buy a second cutter just for tint. I am familiar with the Mutoh and would like to keep my equipment the same if possible. Just looking for some recommendations on how it does. Thanks!

      Reveal Molding/Belt Moldings

      If you have that many, trace a pattern and send it to DAP. They are super quick about scanning and uploading patterns. I have done this with a few custom patterns.
