I know everyone has different tools so tell me what works best for you.  I'm learning the back glass with a side swiper and it just doesn't feel comfy in my hand.  What do y'all use?  

Note: I'm a female with little hands so the SS handle feels bulky

[mention=29693]jh812[/mention] Awesome idea man. I just cut one down about the size of the Tri Edge X. Can’t wait to try it out on some roll ups!

Yes it does just score it with your knife and snap it with your hand.

I always keep a bulldozer, reach, and a titan handy. Those will pretty much cover any hard to reach places on the bottoms of back windows. Also, you could try the stroke doctor. It’s similar to the si

What's the tool called in the middle?  Not sure I've ever seen that one before.  I'm always looking to try new tools!

 

That's a specially built, custom made, TOP SECRET new tool, designed by @jh812 himself.   :bling

You know what that's not a bad idea. I'm gonna try that tomorrow as well.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I’ve tried both pure max carbon and koolmax ceramic. So from what I’ve experienced the pure max is honestly very easy to work with and just feels right as the beginner I am. I’ve easily shrunken rear and front windshields as a beginner with the pure max so I know someonewith experience can easily work with it. However I’m not sure if just me but the koolmax ceramic has just been a headache thing to shrink on rear windows only. Heard the adhesive isn’t as good either especially by dot matrix’s which I encountered on a 2000 mustang. But yea I recommend the pure max line although I switched over to geoshield .

      Cracked glass

      The above post is a bit controversial and naive in nature. May I suggest improving technical knowledge by using a film-to-glass chart, IWFA's study on window film use on dual pane glazing systems, and glass itself. Air/gas used in dual and triple pane glazing systems has zero impact on what gets installed. Absorption rate of film and glass edge quality impact the aforementioned glazing systems most. The film used in the OP has absolutely no reason to be installed to the exterior surface. Neither do the vast majority of film products that carry an absorption rate less than 50%. Start searching for good quality information to better serve you and your clients. And finally, installing on the exterior maybe has a life expectancy of 5-7 years before seeing degradation. Properly installing a product deigned for the interior (on the inside) increases life expectancy up 20-25 years, depending on the quality of the film.

      Question about VLT variance

      I just did a minor search on google and found this about the tinting laws of Illinois State. Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Rear Window: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Please keep in mind that it is only for Sedans, if you have SUV then the law is different.
