Dennis, I noticed you also posted defective film from STEK? Seems like you have a lot of experience with Korean & Chinese films going bad; yet you keep buying them! Strange.....

Brett

I learned a lot in last 6 month with Korean and Chinese made PPF. We used to install Suntek and never had a problem. Then KDX, STek and Rayno distributor contacted me. Tried their film, looked good at first glance (Hydrophobic, instant healing, all those amazing features). Then used more than 200 rolls of their film next couple month. Customers start coming back and asking for warranty after 3 month. Contacted distributor and China office from those brand. was told there is No warranty !!!  WTF !!!!! sales rep start blocking my phone call !!!!! ...... Eventually, I have to buy new US made film by myself and replace for my customer.....

That was a bloody lesson. And from now on, I will only use US made PPF and window films....... because other film are shit and business model is gross. 

Will swing by at SEMA this year and chat with you.

Wow!  If that does not make you think twice about less expensive Asian products and how they'll stand behind them not sure what will...

 

Sh#t runs downhill. You buy either imported direct or reboxed ppf or window film and failure occurs - I'd rather be backed by a US manufacturer with finances and goal of long term brand name protection.  Your reboxer may suck it up, maybe..  Think differently?  This guy could be you...

I feel bad for you Dennis! Trust me, I have been manufacturing PPF (originally going back to the late 90's with VentureShield) for a long, long time, and I have seen it all!

 

Unfortunately, it is very easy in some countries to pop up quickly, take advantage of a particular market with cheap production, and then disappear when things go south. Then, 3 weeks later, pop up as a totally new company! I'm not going to mention any names, but it does happen, and people really need to weigh risk V's reward when buying cheap products from Asia; and that goes for ANY product, not just PPF. For god's sake, they killed innocent babies with poison added to baby formula to save money. What do you think they would do with urethane film?

 

You may pay more for "made in USA" but at least you know where to go if a problem arises. PPF is extremely difficult to make, and things do go wrong. I think people can see the guys who have been here a long time, and realize there is a reason we are still here :) 

 

Hopefully you can withstand the returns and come out stronger on the other end Dennis; I look forward to seeing you at SEMA.

Labor is cheap in Asia, my family has a tourist hotel there with 20 employees it's a similar salary to one employee here.  If had a business there I wouldn't be working just watching lol

      I forgot to ask about Low Angle Haze (LAH), do any particular films have less LAH than others? Is LAH so much of a problem that it's better to avoid ceramic tint and go another kind of tint like SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP

      At What VLT% does visibility start being impacted

      In the jurisdiction in which I live, we are allowed to have 35% in front and 20% in rear. I'm wondering @ what VLT% does the driver's visibility in adverse conditions like night time driving, storms, cloudy weather, fog, floods, etc., start being impacted? Front side windows: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% Rear Side Windows: 38.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00% Rear Window: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00%

      If the only tinter providing MEP Films is a mobile tinter that uses more water than normal and I don't have a garage to tint in then would you avoid the tinter and opt for a tinter with a workshop that uses either: SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP SunTek Evolve Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic (by the way, does anyone know where the Technical Spec sheet is, I tried finding to no avail) XPEL Prime XR Black Johnson Window Films InsulatIR IR GLOBAL WINDOW FILMS QDP CERAMIC FILMS Global OZ Window Films CBXtreme Ceramic

      Why is my film sliding around in GCC Jag V Plotter?

      Your film might be sliding around in your GCC Jaguar V plotter due to several reasons. Firstly, ensure that the film is loaded correctly and securely in the plotter's rollers. Check for any debris or dirt on the rollers that could cause slippage. Additionally, ensure that the plotter's settings, such as speed and pressure, are appropriate for the type of film you're using. Using a tackier or adhesive-backed film can also help prevent sliding. Lastly, make sure the plotter's firmware and software are up to date to avoid any compatibility issues that could lead to film slipping during plotting.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      MEP Films distribute Llumar in Australia. I for one have been using Llumar since 1984 and have very rarely had or seen any issues with quality and that is why the brand is my go-to the majority of the time. Sun Tek have some good automotive films that I like, but other than those, I am strictly a Llumar user. BTW Eastman Chemical own both Llumar and SunTek so I imagine their film technology may be somewhat shared.

      Better shop in Europe to buy Films and Tools?

      Hi guys, Im new here and learning how to tint… I live in Europe and to find tools and tints to buy here is very difficult. I just got some tools and tint on this website: tintwrap.eu This website was the only one I could find some felt squeegee and high quality films with the best price to deliver in Europe without ripping me off. the delivery was quick, about 2 days. and the material was high quality as well. Do you guys have any other websites suggestions? Thanks

      Paint Protection Film (PPF) is it needed or worth it?

      I've never had PPF done before and never had issues with the paint on the car looking bad. I usually park in the garage and have had Kia Casa White - Solid on my Sportage since 2015 and no noticeable issues with the paintwork. The new car is Glacier White - Solid I've been told that PPF is beneficial, but very few people I know have actually opted to get it for their cars. I've been told there are many benefits such as: No need to ever wax or use sealant after the coat is applied Stops the paint fading Makes cars super easy to wash Prevents Acid Etching from animal contaminants, hard water spots, tree sap UV Rays Acid Rain (although I don't think I've ever seen acid rain) Repels Water & Grime Saves Water Will not wash off, crack or peel Non-abrasive Self-Healing Properties: repair minor surface scratches and swirl marks on their own when exposed to heat. So is this all simply marketing spin to provide another product to the market without any noticeable benefits? Does the average family car really need PPF or is this more the reserve of the show car, tuner set, car aficionado niche?

      Cracked glass

      Follow up: Attached is the performance data for Johnson's Resi/Comm window films and if you look to the bottom you'll see DN50 has a solar absorption of 39%, which is well below the threshold of concern which is generally accepted as 50% absorption (with no shadow). With a straight line shading from the roof this does increase the risk, which is usually low for straight line shading compared to other types. I've also attached a pdf of Johnson's film-to-glass chart which is used to determine how safe a film is. The thicker the glass the higher the risk; you say 6mm tempered and 4mm is the cracked one (interior pane). The question now is what compass direction do these panels face? In the end, I'll just suggest you hook back up with the person that installed it and get his input. He had to have been comfortable suggesting that film. I still believe it's a one off cracked panel and the rest will be fine. It takes 2 seasonal cycles to know for sure. Truly your call as to whether or not to replace with something lighter such as DN60. Here's more helpful info that helps you question the glass type on the interior; is it plate or is it heat-strengthened (HS). I believe it is plate and not tempered or HS. Why? Plate glass with suffer thermal shock if the edge temperature is different than the center of the glass by 50 degrees F. Heat strengthened requires 100 degree F difference, and Tempered requires 200 degree F difference. Ryker chimed in and that stimulated further review. Good Luck with this. johnsonFilmToGlass_2021.pdf

      Cracked glass

      Whatever that glass is that cracked it is NOT tempered. DN 50 is pretty high solar absorption and your saying shadows too so you probably need a more reflective film.
