  1. Unfortunately they are right. It looks like the defogger came off with the film. It's very rare for this to happen so it could be a poorly made glass. I wouldn't entirely put the blame on the tinter other than the poor first attempt, they were likely relying on the like 99.9% chance the defogger isn't going to come off with the tint. I've had cars where sometimes they come off with a towel or scrub pad. It sucks when you step on that landmine.
  2. I’m a little biased because it’s what I’ve used for the last 10 or so years, but you can’t go wrong with Llumar.
  3. Here's some video where you can see shrinking both with the film rolled across the glass and up and down.
  4. It can be better. If you got a deal, you got a deal. If you paid a premium, go get it fixed.
  5. You can still pull the panel back. Just be careful because the panel is thin and the part that locks in is likely glued to it.
  6. Sorry. I didn’t realize you were trying to buy. I was just letting you know my Graphtec has been dead reliable.
  7. I have had my Graphtec FC8000-100 for at least 10 years. It has been darn near faultless. I’ve replaced one part and once I got the settings right and stopped trying to run multiple materials through it, I go years without changing anything.
  8. Ascent, Compass, Tiguan, Explorer. Super exciting day.
  9. Here's a quick video on what I do for the front doors.
  10. I agree. If I was trying to tint a car to perfection, I'd still be tinting my first car 23 years later. A little speck here and there is expected.
  11. If you are hand cutting out the film sideways so you are shrinking by the post. Make your pattern and then step it about 1/4” from the post and wet shrink it sideways. If there it too much film, shrink some on the post side, then move it over and shrink some on that open side. Soap and H pattern isn’t really for this application.
  12. I tinted this gem. “I got all the tint off except a little bit on the back window”
  13. Tinted a 2022 Civic. If you thought the old civic was easy, somehow this is even easier. I have a video uploading now if you haven't seen one.
