I think it'll happen with most films under the right lighting. I could be wrong but I've seen it several times when the light hits it just right, especially florescent.

Thin film interference, Google it for thorough read and understanding.   In this case the scratch coat is the thin film causes the surface to rainbow. Thin film  blocks and separates colors

Got give us a little more info. What film is it?

 

What exactly are we looking at? What do you think is wrong?

 

 

I’m using a film from a company called PremiumGard. The client says the film looks to have different colors, cloudiness up close.. I’ve never had this problem before. Also, I tried installing different samples from Llumar, SolarGuard, Xsun in my home and noticed similar effects. Not sure what it is

Are you talking about what I circled? Pictures are hard to show with flat glass films... imo.

 

Never heard of that brand before, so I can't really say much as far as the quality of their films. But if you are seeing the same thing with various brands, then maybe it's something with the glass or your slip solution. :dunno

That was my thought too, but I know at least lulu and solarguard shouldn't have that...  So if it's happening to multiple films, on different windows... :chin

Yup that’s exactly it, I don’t think it’s a defect because in the day the film has absolutely nothing wrong but at the night the “oil slick” is noticeable.. first time I get this complain

I will definitely try that, thanks!

 

I thought it was weird. Have been using these films for 3 years, never had this complain until now.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      South facing window tint

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint? I've compiled a list of tints based on manufacturer provided technical data & looking for insights into long term ownership with respect to scratch resistance, colour fade, impact on driver visibility, etc. Basically, I'm looking to narrow down the choice of products but different installers recommend different product lines. 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 35 for Front Side Windows 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Retro IRP 35 Nano-ceramic Black Armor Elite Nano Ceramic Series E38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP35 for Front Side Windows Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Fusion NX 38 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows Ultragard Fusion NX 27 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR40 for Front Side Windows Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR33 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic Window Film 35 for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR40 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 30 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 20 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP45 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP25 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP 35 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 35 ceramic for Front Side Windows SunTek Evolve 20 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 30 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-35 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S5-20 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-30 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S7-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S9-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Carbon 28 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension IRP 40 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows ASWF Dimension IRP 25 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Excel IRP 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Excel IRP 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension X DX40 for All Windows

      South facing window tint

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      South facing window tint

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      South facing window tint

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.

      South facing window tint

      Hi folks, I have south facing double pane windows that get a lot sun here in Las Vegas. Those windows get extremely hot and I want to get them tinted. I do not mind if they are black, mirror, dark, light, etc. I am looking for performance blocking the heat without doing a complete blackout. Initially I was thinking of going with 3M Prestige 70 since 3M is the only reputable brand I could think but I did read a few posts here in the forum and I see that there is other brands with perhaps better products like “Huper Optik”. I have not reached out to installers yet since I wanted to research what would be the best product for my needs, could you folks recommend a product that would fit the bill? Thank you!

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Dry shrink is akin to moving from the horse and buggy age to the age of automobiles; not only innovative, but you find yourself getting to your destination quicker. Dry shrink is also less damaging to the chemical properties of the film itself. And like Bham has pointed out in different words, work smart not harder. TD mentioned the wet check after dry shrinking, which is a technique used by many in the early stages of learning to dry shrink. Plenty of demos on Youtube.
