Hey there, I can not begin to tell you how excited I am to be the person to anounce the newest supplier to the Aussie window film market UltraGard Window Films. :)

Many of you would know Alex who fronted JWF when they began many years ago. Alex has spent a number of years developing a range of films that for anyone who has used them would know are in a new class. UltraGard films will be sold exclusiively by GTS until their official launch in October, which is increadible news for everyone in the Independent Tinting Network. UltraGard has comitted to selling their films via the GTS website for the exact price they can be bought by ringing an order through directly. It is ground breaking news for all the small guys as they have 1 price for all, and not a special price for the big boys and another price for the small fry. It creates an even playing field for all of us, and at the same time will help finance the work that is done to the grow the Independent Network.

GTS owes Alex a huge debt, he wanted to see the independent network to become a reality, and supported GTS by supplying us with tools and a range of decorative films at cost so we could get up and running. He also made the connection for me in the US to access a range of automotive films that really have been the back bone of the success at GTS. And from that Alex has agreed for GTS to be the official release point of UltraGards complete range of Automotive window films.

Welcome back Alex, and all I can say from being lucky enough to install and test some of your flat glass films due for release in October is WOW! If the other suppliers aren't worried... They should be.

Happy fathers day dads out there. My daughter/boss is 6 and she is telling me that we need to go to the park RIGHT NOW!

All the best. :thumb

Hey Ozi.

All you can do to help is to try and dish out quality work and if possible work together with other local pro's in your area so that a price war is not something you need to experience. I am here when you need me....

All the best mate, you are a real gentleman.

UltraGard Window Films are an Australian owned and operated brand. The product lines are exclusively supplied by Express Window Films (USA) and have been developed in consultation with myself and Howard Paritsky (well known to many members of this forum). The emphasis of the product line development has been on product quality and longevity suitable for Australia’s harsh climatic conditions, followed by user-friendliness, performance and aesthetics. The ability to draw from Howard’s vast experience and expertise has been enormous and has allowed me to realize my goal of developing a line of window films that are specifically designed to suit the Australian market. I have worked with some wonderful partners over the years in this business, but I can honestly say that Howard sits firmly on top of the tree. I truly thank him and look forward to working with him and the products we have developed for many years to come. Cheers, Alex K.

Stay tuned for the official launch later this year.

What is the pedigree behind this film?

Who is the manufacturer? Is it reboxed?

Fair questions.

Devil

Nothing wrong with reboxed tints if tinters can get the same quality at cheaper price and factories can sell more while protecting their brand distributors.

      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.
