I wanted to start a topic that might be humorous (may not have been at the time) but now we might get a chuckle out of it. (no names)

 

I had a guy show up after stating in e-mails and phone calls he was the best at installing PPF.

He showed up about 20 mins late, we gave him a rolled up kit and pointed to the car.

He proceeded to take blue masking tape and place pieces across the front area of the

car, stand back, walk back up take piece he had put on the car, and place it somewhere else. After

about 1/2 hour one of my installers pointed to the rolled up kit and said "here is the kit" he said he didn't need it.

I told him thank you but no thank you. We still to this day can't understand what he was doing.

Many, many, many  years ago we needed more office help. One of the questions on the applicatiion is asking sex with a small box to write in F or M. Instead of her writing female or male, she wrote occasionally. Needless to say she did not have a second interview.

Masking tape placement is extremely important!!!

Ask the dumbass that installed this Security film I came across a few years ago.

Holly cow! seriously?

 

 

 

That little piece of tape is probably one of the most amazing film related things I've ever seen.

 

That is of course not including a fellow we named Anti Gravity Keith because he seemed to think starting at the bottom of a 12' h x  64"w pane needing 3 horizontal laydowns of 40" security film would work out great.But thats a story for another day.

I get people filling out applications that their last jobs were driver for local part store, merchandise shelf filler at night. We even had a guy come in and

say we're doing all wrong and if we hire him he'll be able to straighten it all out. But they were all professional Tint, and PPF installers.   :lol

Quite a few years ago we were looking for an installer to work with me installing graphics and he said he had experience doing so with the films he would be installing working for us, the guy shows up and I handed him a 48"x48" piece of 3M Dusted Crystal and I told him to install it on one of the interior shop windows, after 20 min of watching him struggling too just try and remove the liner I told him that's ok I think we had see enough.  ..... :facepalm2

      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.
