Glare reduction primarily. I have a sedan in the country full of jacked up pickups with super bright headlights. I guess why I ask is I see a lot of people say factory glass is 70% then air80 (80%) would be like 70x0.8 = 56% which seems pretty dark. Does that sound accurate to you? thanks

What is your goal for the FWS? How much risk are you willing to take? I did not care to ask to meter it. Going darker can make it hard to see something on the highway when driving at night like, debris, puddles(hydroplane), potholes, I don't know about you but I drive fast and I need to see the road. I just wanted solar energy rejection, and UV protection for leather interior.

Yeah I hear you. That’s why I’m avoiding the 50%. Curious did they meter it after installing it? Wondering what it comes back at.

I have Air80 on FWS, 35% on 4 doors, 5% on 3rd row and hatch. I am happy rejecting some solar energy and having no visibility issues at night. The 15% you have will make the FWS look darker I assume. During the day it would not be a big difference, only at night. I know a FWS ticket is $$, I didn't want to give a bored cop an excuse to pull me over. Or have the chance to notice the FWS while being pulled over for something else. The less I talk to cops the better.

Hey all, debating between the 2 films. Wondering if anyone can give me some insight between the 2 for the windshield. The rest of the car has 15% pinnacle. thank you.

Any impact from polishing, if the mar responds to polishing, would result in no or little visible trace. Anyone experienced in buffing glass will likely say, no guarantees; unless they've experienced the same mar on glass.

I use(d) these that are readily available through grocery stores; on installs that should not have a blade running across their surface. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotch-Brite-3PK-Dobie-Cleaning-Pad/580762256?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101033794&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=22222222227580762256_101033794_160178497084_20981201920&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=689850595863&wl4=pla-2274697737319&wl5=9008682&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=255470249&wl11=online&wl12=580762256_101033794&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyo335LbOhQMVo0tHAR1HpQC8EAQYASABEgKydfD_BwE Need to know whether the boat has glass or does it have plexiglass (acrylic) or Lexan (poly-carbonate). Glass is not worrisome, the other two are. Plexi will blister from out-gassing in no time at all, whereby, Poly-carbonate is a crap shoot as to when and how serious, if any, blistering of film occurs. Both Plexi and Ploy may also be difficult to remove, if the need arises down the road mainly getting the adhesive of without damaging the surface. Both should not be warranted given the aforementioned potentials and these conditions should be discussed with the owner.

thank you - great to know polishing should remove it. 🙏 I appreciate you and all the others who took the time to reply.

We've seen it on new vehicles, polishing it should remove it. Definitely not the shops fault.

no, aside from window cleaner I’ve not tried anything else yet like goo gone, a razerblade, etc… I’ll probably leave that to the detailer. question: when polishing glass will it impact the visibility after? I guess I’m now weighing between having them try to correct it or just leaving it be.

Amazon

Global HP and Ceramic. Using it full time for seven years and not a single failure that wasn't my fault.

Where can i get a white scrubbie at locally like stapels, home depot, etc. dont have one in my toolbox yet

I start those at $750 and go up. Best advice is no cutting on the glass and white scrubbie only, no cleaning blades. That glass is super soft. You may want to use a film liner to make a template to cut your patterns.

Hi! I’m new to the tinting world. Just completed a 5 day tinting course and want to purchase some films to start my mobile tinting. We trained with Geosheild, but there was a lot of talk about Maxpro and how it was good as well. Does anyone have experience with both of these? Which one is better to work with and easier to shrink? Prices on both are pretty close to each other. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I have seen an acid do something similar to this…have you tried lightly using a razor blade or steel wool carefully?

Oh my

Looks like some of them have curved glass.

Boats, in my opinion, are on another level compared to auto and residential. They are dirty, the glass is at weird angles, usually there are sliding windows that are a real pain in the butt. Cramped conditions, lots of walking etc. They aren't fun. That boat looks like it just has a windshield, so that's good. Maybe wont be such a pain.

Hey everyone im still kind of new to forums, anyways this weekend i will be going out to a dealership to tint a mastercraft x 2016 i gave the client a quote of 300 since i was not too sure how the pricing works for boats however as i get closer to the date i keep getting more nervous since ive never done a boat.

I’ll look into that product, thank you. I was speaking with the tint shop and they said they can have their detailer attempt to polish it out for me. (Fingers crossed)

Yep, get used to it because it never ends. You can reduce frustration with tinting, but you can’t eliminate it.
