Jerry Hernandez replied to Jerry Hernandez's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Thank you! 😅 You took the words out of my mouth. You're exactly correct, not a DIYer, I've been at it for 30 years. The lucid got done months ago, it took extra patience but came out fantastic. Customer had me wrap it with PPF all-around. -

Your assumption is incorrect. I clarified it already. I'm no longer replying to anything on this topic. I'm way too busy. -
XPEL WINDOW TINT shrinking

That's where you're wrong. I don't like the window film since before they're marketing strategy, it's below my standards. I don't like XPEL now because they told me they weren't selling to me after I made a significant purchase form them. I tried to return it and till this day, 2 plus years, they still haven't taken it back. I was loyal to them for PPF for about 10-11 years, I'm the one that brought them to my town, and they drop me after selling to me a bunch of film. They're not willing to give the loyalty they demand. I'm not slandering, I'm stating the facts as I lived through it. If it makes you feel any better, I'm in a better place now. Now I use 3 other PPF manufacturers and can service my customers better to give them a better value. Everything happens for a reason. Anyway, I don't have time for all this back and forth. This is the last thread I'm replying to on this topic. I don't like XPEL and that's that, I'm also not a fan of 3M if you want another thing to blow up about. P.S. I'm gonna ignore your comment again about thinking. I stooped to your level once, not doing it again. This is a forum for support through advice. -

I've been at it for 30 years. I don't understand why you take it so personal that I don't like nor recommend XPEL for several reasons. One of the added reasons I don't like XPEL is as you stated, they look out for shareholders, they're interest in customer service has gone away. This is a forum for advice and opinions, obviously you're the one that has lack of thinking ability. -

Like I said, it hasn't been out long enough. Even the cheapest film out last as long as they have had film on the market. Like I said as well, I wasn't going with inferior material in my shop. AND the guy that did go with XPEL locally, already dumped them after only 2 years or so. With your remarks, it makes me think that your a particular XPEL rep that was constantly on this forum but you're incognito. -

So if you do want to be technical, then yeah, at least the brands I mentioned are "assembled" in the USA, XPEL is neither. If XPEL hasn't failed on you, its because it hasn't been out long enough to fail. And yes, I am turned off by the way they do business. But FYI, I was the one to turn them down. I was a dealer for about 10 years for PPF, when they came out with window film, tried it, didn't like it whatsoever. Then they did they're all or nothing campaign, I wasn't gonna jeopardize my reputation using a subpar film at my shop, therefore I turned them down and moved on. -

You mean that thick seal on the slanted part of the back door? Was panel removal pretty straightforward? Thanks! -
Where can I order Window film online?
Jerry Hernandez replied to exhume's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
All of the above. The material is grainy, it doesn't shrink that well and its tacky when applying. Contrary I have heard of others not liking it either. One guy locally decided to pick them up and be "exclusive", apparently he dumped them after only 2 years. He went back to Global. -

I'll name two things, just for you... SolarGard and Llumar. They make their film in the USA. Let's do a 3rd one, Weathertech, a 4th Bak Tonneau covers. I got more if you're interested. What I was pointing out is that XPEL is full of themselves and their window film isn't that great. -
I have a Lucid Air coming in a couple of weeks. The sides seem a bit complicated. Anyone tinted one and know if the sweeps come off easily? Any tips?

Try asking XPEL what they're doing that the quality isn't consistent.... they won't know since they get the film overseas! Lol!! I tried it, didn't like it one bit. Been filming for 30 years and that's gotta be near the worst film I've used for the price. -

That's cuz the word is out that XPELs film isn't as great as XPEL makes it seem. I tried it, definitely would not use it! -

double layer + absorption ?
Jerry Hernandez replied to jnfs1121's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
First of all, DON'T USE XPEL. Second, don't layer film, any brand. The adhesive is designed to adhere to glass not other surfaces and the scratch resistant coating on the bottom film won't let the film adhere properly.
