You have this question and your using max pro......lol

Supply and denand makes em cheap. Plus they manufacture there own film from start to finish.

MaxPro has to pay fir the raw materials and pay someone to make rhe film. Gareware aka global do all this themselves.

You do understand that we are unbiased in our opionions right? I wouldnt use maxpro if it was givin to me for free. Maybe you should be less inquisitive 9f global and ask the same questions about MP. Who makes it, where, how, reputation of MP, and if maxpro is so good how come most if us professionals have never used it?

Not bashing you at all bud but its always funny when members will listen to salesman hype but are hesitant to use what we all use and beleive in. We are not salesmen our jobs don't depend on lieng to you. It is honest feedback. Good luck.

First off I'm not bashing the film, simply asking questions. And I did ask the same questions about MaxPro before I started using it, I also just toured their plant 2 weeks ago so I am fully aware they buy raw materials from others and they put it together themselves like many other film companies do. Your assumption that I didn't ask questions or be just as concerned about MaxPro is one of the many reasons I left this forum all together for 3 years. You assumed I didn't ask those questions, but you're wrong I did and I do about every film no matter what the name. Have a good one bud, and next time assume less.

Cool. Good luck bud. Sorry you got all bent outta shape for honest feedback. Never called ya names or assummed anything. Ill keep outta your threads. Have a Merry Christmas.

You said I should ask questions about MP. Therefore you assumed I didn't when I did. I'm aware that everyone is giving honest opinions, that's all I asked for, I'm not "bent out of shape" because you gave an opinion, all I stated was don't assume I didn't ask the same questions about MP.

 

Merry Christmas fellow tinter, and realize I'm not mad, just get a little irritated when others assume stuff about a situation they don't know about.  :thumb

Ryker nailed it with me liking Global. I have used no telling how many rolls on thousands of cars since around 06 and not one comeback. Pretty impressive for me since all the other films I have used have always came back to haunt me.

I have never used MP other than just messing around with it to see how it handles so can't really give a opinion on it.

I believe Jack S is still part owner in the company and can say from knowing him that he is a stand up guy who prolly has forgot more about film than I know!

Howard sells many products with Global being his top shelf product. Between Howard, Richard, Phillip and Bob they cover the USA each with their own territories. Like Jack they all know this business very well.

Here is a video I made at the SEMA show a couple years back that should give you a idea on

"How It's Made"

The fewer hands in on making any product produces a better end result IMO

Cheers

Stan

**** again, not saying anything bad about ANY other product.

Everyone has different likes and there are several great products for us to choose from.

      1) Why avoid Suntek? I thought they resolved that issued with the easy scratching and that they are one of the market leaders in Australia? Also, it seems most of the well established Tint businesses use Suntek 2) I've heard mixed things about Rayno, with some installers raving about it and others disparaging it. Makes it difficult for the consumer to know the truth, given vested interests exist. 3) Is Ultragard a Australian exclusive product? The IP seems to be owned by GTS FILMS PTY LTD. How's the quality as it seems to have limited installers. 4) Is the MEP Films CNP that apparently are Manufactured by LLumar of the same quality as the LLumar tints (such as Llumar Formula One Stratos; Llumar Formula One Pinnacle; Llumar CTX)? 5)

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.
