I have been using Llumar and Sunteck along with many other companies mentioned for 28 years. Problem with all film companies one ROLL NUMBER at a time. Each company had best film to crap film. Bad runs happen EVERYWHERE AND EVERY COMPANY. It is up to you to buy by your CHOICE. Bad choice can lead to many REDO JOBS NOT GOOD.   Now for a FACT from using carbon and hybrid. Carbon is NOT USER FRIENDLY, If you are a one company user trying this will drive you nuts. Using TOO MUCH HEAT to nail a finger, crease or side YOU MUST BE CAREFUL.  On the rear window on applying and working on rear the tint fingers POP UP ALL OVER again to much heat. I used the CP SERIES with no problems AT ALL. So learning the film and making changes things are being solved. BUT NOW WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE IN A TEAR TWO OR FIVE on this change! i am making to give BETTER QUALITY FOR MY CUSTOMERS. ,I once changed to a film and manufacturer that had sold us tint that started perfect shade then after ONE YEAR TURNED CLEAR. I almost lost my business but all warranty work I absorbed the cost. Time will tell about your work you do. For years EVER CAR I TINT WILL BRING ME 10 MORE NEW CUSTOMERS. With NEW TECHNOLOGY in window film ut is worth it to me to give it a CHANCE with opportunity to improve. But again COST OF FILM ISN'T EVERYTHING

APPLICATION OF FILM IS EVERYTHING. Please post your experience with MaxPro. 

PS: I have had it on my own vehicles and LOVE IT AND A HUGE difference on HEAT REJECTION.

There are a lot of great films in the marketplace. You really are asking the age old question of "which is better, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper?" All the film companies you proposed are really good compani

Do it through a reputable dealer who has a good track record and pick something other than the Maxpro. Any differences in the film between Johnson and 3M will be slight and almost unnoticeable to a co

You just answered Your own question. The lowest price usually denotes one of two things. Inferior film, or an inexperienced installer. If You got really bad luck you'll get both for that low, low pric

I use to use only Llumar window film for 15 years. Then heard that max pro had a lifetime warranty and it is similar to Llumar so tried it and loved it. I have been using it for over 8 years and they stand behind their product and have had no problems that the company didn't take care of.

      Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?

      I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
