  1. Don’t lay too much of the film on the glass before sliding into position.
  2. A peel board on an easel would be ideal for mobile.
  3. They should of covered the deck with paper towels or tape. Also, need to clean bottom edge and then flush after cleaning= no hairs or dots. Dont be lazy and tape that damn headliner too!
  4. Looks like bad placement. I squeegee big 1/4s like these but flush all small ones. Never get any contamination dots, especially in the top corner!
  5. Id tell them to call it quits and go elsewhere.
  6. Get ready to remove most panels/seals. The days of tucking are over.
  7. Those are nice. Put them in my Amazon cart to try. I’ll let you know how it goes with the discs when I have a chance, thanks.
  8. I have some of the scrub pad discs. The steel wool on a disc is a good idea. I also have one of the adhesive removing wheels. Thanks Tint Slayer!
  9. There has to be a way around scrubbing adhesive for ever. Ive always wondered if it could be done with a 3” disc on an angle grinder or some type of DA sander?? I have several air sanders from removing paint from my car.
  10. I know the Lexus NX’s have it, but not sure about that one. If you cant confirm just scrub it real good to clean.
  11. Dealers arent offering anymore since COVID. This is good because dealers need you and you dont need them.
  12. Thought about the waiver some, but the access for windshields sucks now. The center consoles are getting bigger and most have stuff by the mirror. If you’re doing them now you better have 1-2 soak ropes, and have that module covered. I did 22 Lexus RX460 yesterday and glanced at the shield and said no way.
  13. Looks like the film patterns are butting up against the edge making the edge lift. Yeah, $1300 is high.
  14. The tape is 1/2” wide and is along the small side of the front & rear rollups. It has to be removed. First remove the bottom sweep (takes one screw behind handle) and heat the edge and scrap it off with an olfa blade.
  15. The CX9 is a 100% bottom load for me along with anything where the small mirror side is real short, like the Lexus IS250. The CX9 seal comes out with one screw (behind handle) with out removing the panel. I started out tucking everything and now only tuck maybe 10% of the time, which is 99% F150s.
  16. Just never double layer. You cant clean the window well with a layer of tint and the top edge will likely overlap or underlap. Also, whenever I do removals with the double layer, Ive had the second layer practically fall off like it wasnt sticking. I guess thats why film is made to stick to glass, not another layer of tint.
  17. I just clean normal and they get what they get. When a car is that it shows they dont care. Every single car I tint for a really picky person shows up detailed.
  18. I use an 8” roll for visors and save any scraps that can do a visor.
  19. Wont dont people just call the F’ing shop that did it??
  20. Sunteks new Ceramic is way better now. They changed it a few months ago. The green hue is gone and its more black than CXP now. Also, they added a 15%, which is darker if anything.
