    I had this customer come out right as im getting ready to hose the bottom of a rollup down to tuck the film on brand new F150. Dudes like, im just watching you make a mess. I just said this has to be done and the water wont do nothing. Just hate those few custys that freak out about the water.  Just dont tint your car and get some gay sun shades screens with suction cups.

    pbalentine got a reaction from TintDude in How many times have you "quit"   
    I quit like 2 days ago.  I too get caught up trying to be fast.  There really is no control over how fast you can get it done.   Instead of moving fast to save time, dont waste time.  Just concentrate on your routine and improve little by little and speed with come naturally.  
     
    I have tip for light gaps and for trimming patterns. Get a dry erase marker and mark the sides, then roll window up and down to see the amount of shift. Before install with the window all the way up I mark any window with the slighest shift, so when i lay the pattern before locking it down i check th edge to make sure i didnt shift the window. I never get gaps doing this.  If a window doesnt shift by pulling it back and forth then thats the only time i dont mark. Mostly euro vehicles do this.  Also, to avoid gaps, tuck extra on vehciles like toyota, since some shift a lot and it wasy to tuck extra on them.

    pbalentine reacted to Apex Tint in small white bubbles under tint, where did i go wrong?   
    Unfortunately those little white specs are dirt trapped between the glass and film.  When you first install the film all of the moisture helps hides these imperfections.  Once the film has time to cure,  debris under the film becomes much more noticeable; more so with darker films.  
     
    There so many variables here.  Any tinter will tell you "there's no such thing as a perfect tint job".  Keep in mind you're working with a 10 year old car.  The older the car, the more dirt.  Cleaning/good prep methods are crucial on vehicles of this age.  It's import to wipe off all panels around the back glass in addition to cleaning the glass itself.  And don't forget the number 1 rule of tint... never touch the sticky side! 
     
    What is your prep method? Step by step?  And how/where are you peeling your release liner?  You could be introducing debris to the film right from the get go if you're peeling from a dirty car.

    Stories like this make me happy I have a shop with no waiting area.
     
    Drop off only. That said, I have had a few friends hang out.
     
    Actually had one who tinted his own truck with a precut kit and wasn't happy with how it looked. Stripped it in my shop, very well I might add, and had me redo it.

    This guy asked some of the most annoying things.  Where does the water go after you put it on? Could you keep the ignition off..it’ll kill the battery. Oh and at the end when i was done, That took a while, did you have trouble? Last one i looked at him like i wanted to punch him and he said its been a while since he got tint. Probably just get a shop next year before i beat someone!
