Tinting 2019 Lexus UX 200
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to TheLtFrisky's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Its a uv coating on the front door glass only. Razor blade will damage it. Tint removal would be pita without a blade. Coating can be removed with glass out of the car and a single edge razor. -
Ive been using microfiber rope on those without any issues. Thanks for the heads up, Ill be even more carful.

Turn off everything that can be turned of with the key on. IE interior exterior lights,a/c , radio, seat warmers etc. my standard operating procedure is key on tint driver side then start car for 5 minutes. Key on and install passenger side. This will work on most cars. GM, Ford and Hondas get a battery maintainer applied. You do not want to run out of juice as on most modern cars this will throw low voltage codes that can make a lot of lights on the dash go off. A quick drive usually turns them back off.

New tint has a scratch?
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to carbonaccord's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Looks like a scratch on the glass. -
What he said ☝️. Typical with removals ill do a quick dirty install of a throw away piece. Theory is it will remove any hidden glue. Save the samples you get from film companies. The model 3 is tough. With experience you’ll get better. I use to require a second set of hands for install. Now I can do them by myself. If you think the model 3 is hard try doing the model Y roof by yourself.

Secuirty Film Bubbles
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to TriCounty Mountie's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
I wouldn’t worry too much even quarter size moisture bubbles will disappear. Can take months. The only time it can turn into an air bubble is if its facings the sun and its hot enough to boil over and create steam. -

2020 Mbz amg e63
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to Cooltimes's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Not sure on the E63 but the regular e-class dont need felt. Supposedly theres some warning on the front doors of excessive moisture can damage modules. I use a door curtain guard and only use spray bottles. No corny tanks. Never had any problems. Previous generation had soft 1/4 glass. Dont use a razor blade to clean them. -
Rear screen peanuts in tint
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to Special FX's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
That trick will work on most. For super stubborn peanuts you’ll need to heat before and after the line to seal off any moisture that can return to the peanut before performing above. -
Rear screen peanuts in tint
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to Special FX's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Peanuts happen because of irregularities on the line. Certain vehicles are more prone to them. Try using 000 steel wool to clean and thin out the lines. Here’s an old trick to get rid of stubborn peanuts. Paper wrap hard card and hold film to the line and heat to near blister. Then continue to hold will spraying slip to cool from the outside. The rapid change in temp will make the film tack. -
Tesla model 3 burned defroster
smookee408@yahoo.com replied to smookee408@yahoo.com's topic in Tesla
Its kinda shady that they blamed the tint originally until it started happening on backglass without tint. 😂😂😂 -
New information from my Tesla tech. The burned defroster on some model 3 were because of a defective batch of backglass. Tesla is aware of the issue. Maybe it will be warranted.

It was a record setting month. Traffic dropped off the last few days.
