GeoFil Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Hey everyone and greetings from Greece.I've been tinting professionaly for the last seven years and recently I bought a pressurized water sprayer.Since then I have issues with my slip solution.I am using green Tint Slime and got my mix even slimer but I keep having the film "biting" on the window too soon and thus leaving some glue smears...Any thoughts?

Dano Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I have to double the amount of soap when I use a tank to get it to slip properly. Also had to switch to JnJ. I think it has more wax/oily content (more cushion). My normal mix just wouldn't do it for me. I did try film-on for a while but didn't like it much. 7th Generation Free and Clear is my preferred favorite most of the time. Be aware that as you get to the bottom of the tank the slip seems to not be as active. Most of the time I work off of bottles to change the mix with the weather/humidity and glass surface texture.

pbalentine Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 That green tint slime is a bit weak. I would get the more concentrated orange slime. GeoFil and Dano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoFil Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Maybe yes...I have doubled the amount of green slime and the mix turned out fine.So that is like double the cost of slip solution that I had so far...🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 If you lower your tank pressure you won't need to refill as often. The best use for myself is flushing rear windows, large PPF pieces and flat glass installs. With all the electronics being stuffed into autos it's rare that I use a tank at all on cars, especially the euro makes and anything electric. @pbalentine how do you like the slime compared to dish detergent/JnJ? Is there an install advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slime doesnt cause build up and it really helps bottom loading in temps 95*-115*. I combine it with generic baby shampoo. Dano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitu Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 it could be your glass is hydrophobic or too much humidity GeoFil and Dano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
