Quick question, so i tinted a Dodge Charger today, and jeez did it seem hard to me. I did fine with rear window shrink and install, but the sides, i had lots of trouble keeping the film from sticking,  i ended up using more slip than normal which still led to sticking, but I got through it and it turned out fine. My question is, why did i have to use more slip on this car. I have a measuring bottle with a mark on it so i have consistent solution. I  use this solution on every other job and it’s the perfect mix. Is this car considered to have “sticky” windows?

@IPATinting   My guess is the surface tension of the laminated glass on the Dodge products.  

Slip on Laminated door glass acts differently than on regular glass. 

Just a guess. :dunno Other than something on the windows. :? 

Do you use more slip on laminated windows?

No Sir.  I just use more spray than normal, when I do Jeeps and such.  Never really had a HUGE issue with it, but have noticed that it tacks quicker.  

When i sprayed, the water spread out into big drops instead of staying as a “layer” or water on the glass. When it did this i just sprayed more to form the “layer” if this means anything.

Yep.  Watching the slip will tell you a lot. 

Just have to watch for funny patterns and maybe give them a little extra clean and also work a little faster.   :twocents

Razor blade and recheck.  If still an issue, steel wool.  It those two don’t fix it not much else will.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.
