Why would anyone use Global QDP or Express-branded films over Rayno? The performance is simply better, not to mention they are ahead of the competition when it comes to technology. The clarity is amazing, too. 
 
P.S. Dear Valiant, I hear your Sirius film is a rebox of Global. Is that true?

 

 

:lol  Mainly because Global has a proven track record and Rayno does not...based on what I have seen there are already more issues with Rayno in their short time versus Global's much longer time in the industry.

 

 

I have it on high authority that Valiant's Sirius film is a Global rebox. So, unless you need to brand your film, you could perhaps get it for considerably less through Valiant. I'm awaiting a reply from Valiant to confirm this. By the way, it's great that you're a Global fan (so am I — used it for quite some time), but would you care to provide references for Rayno's issues?

 

 

We do not use Global, but their track record is well documented.  The best place to look for the Rayno info is to join some of the window film groups on Facebook.  Tons of info there and photos.

To be clear, I'm not saying Global isn't a great film. It's high on my list of quality films as well. But it would be great if you could provide a few direct links to the issues and explicit photos of Rayno's film on Facebook. It would probably also add value to this thread.

Rayno has NEVER made film before. They even got into the window film market before they actually had the product. :crazy

These guys make computer and LCD screen covers and film and just decided to get into the window film market. After less than a year their product is failing and their projected performance numbers are a little off,,,,, mainly because they push IRR over TSER which is not an accurate way to market window film. :twocents

Hey, but it shrinks well and is low priced...so must be good.   :lol   First thing I always hear when people try a new film, it shrinks good.  Even though this is important and a desired trait, has nothing to do with it being any good or not.  All I say to the Rayno dealers, good luck in the next 1-3 years.

They have made film before under a different name, and it failed, so they changed the process they used to make film.

That doesn't make me feel any better about them. :wrong

Not to mention their performance numbers are rather misleading. And pushing this IRR crap doesn't help their case any.

Top of the line with a TSER of 58 the next best has a 52 TSER but they want to say the huge difference in IRR numbers makes a difference. :bs

      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!
