Easy DIY installation with video showing no need to scrape the glass.  I'm sure amateurs will get great results!  And wonder how many people will complain the "clear" film doesn't actually look clear on their glass?

For anyone who does not sell that brand, and has to compete against a shop that does. This is a HUGE favor they have done for you. If your customer asks you if you use that brand,you can direct then to the window film section.. Right near the trash bag section at the local HD / Lowes. It cheapens the brand and implies that there product is a garden variety material .

Interesting point!

Yep.  Short term gain and long term degradation of brand.
