All this month my competitor has had a huge banner out front $200 dollar windowtint for utes,cars or wagons.(theses prices have never been herd of in my area)he is also using the same film

That makes it really tough Tikka and what concerns me just a tad when the new juggernaut starts flogging new Solartint franchises with Madico film in place.

devil

Already happening Devil, check the front page advert on the current WFAANZ newsletter - "Join us now, this month there are no upfront fees if you take up a Solartint or TAC franchise".

The beginning of the end for a once proud group under G.Lane?? :dunno

Don't worry though...It is all business as usual, just in a different way :hump

You know Rocky I've had many years selling a great product that none too much ever cared about and as a result it was never price shopped and I got what I demanded.

 

Now potentially with every Tom, Dick and Harry mug having a go at it, who knows how it will be bastardised in the future?

 

I understand Gary's position and I would have done the same had Worldmark thrown dollars at me too.

 

But I'll be be a soothsayer and report that this will be whored more than likely with dheads who know Jackshite about film when they buy a new S franchise. :trustme

Devil :console

I'm hearing you Devil.

And the shame of it all is...it doesn't have to be that way. Why do some people or companies prostitute everything they touch? I understand ROIs, shareholder dividends, market share and profit equations but really, is the almighty dollar that important that you always have to check your morals at the door?

Dev, there are always alternatives. Deal with people with old fashioned values and the moral fortitude to tell the morloks of our world to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Hey Dev,

 

You would be amazed if you knew just how many businesses that WorldMark own here in Aus. But as far as income goes, MotorOne is King. They have little opposition, and they own the rest.

 

Solartint, Solar Master, Tint Professor, High Performance WF, CDFilms WA, TintAcar, TintAwindow, ProTech, Ming, Sewalls Group, Six Star Solutions, Ashley Group, MEP Films, Code Red Marketing, AutoTech group, Auto Extreme, Smart Accident repair Technology, and many more...

 

Their goal is that of domination. It doesn't matter if you buy your film from them, WorldMark will step on you like you don't exist.

We are fighting for the scraps that are left behind by M1. That is why people are desperate enough to offer tint jobs for next to nothing.

It is about time we stopped getting stepped on. Things are about to change.

 I didn't know a lot about that GTS.

That's quite a few GTS.

I will never understand how tinters think these cheap a$$ deals are good for their business. They don't produce good profit, they don't create repeat customers, and they do absolutely nothing for the reputation of our industry. All they attract is the bottom feeding freebie hunters who'd ditch you in a heart beat for the next joker who's 5 bucks cheaper.

I have trouble containing my laughter when someone brings me one of these and asks if I'll match it.

Check out the 2 YEAR WARRANTY!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!! [emoji107]

I blurred out the company name to save them the humiliation and degradation of being judged by their industry peers... ... although they don't deserve it. Good luck to you fellas. The rest of us are making twice the profit in half the time, and creating happy customers by using quality products that actually work.

 

I notice you only blurred the logo, and not black it out, so we can still recognise it. :lol

 

Another example of a good business wrecked by a new owner who "knows better". They have been using  "Buy a Deal" type sites for years, but it is only because they cannot compete on quality product, service or knowledge.

      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.
