Got a few quotes for my suv with tinters in a highly competitive area. I went with the highest rated/reviewed one by far with a median price quote and was a llumar installer. When I arrived, I was shown the llumar ceramic pinwheel display. I was shown the ceramic level tint and impressed by it's heat rejection abilities and so I agreed to the ceramic and added the front two windows on as well. I dropped my suv off a half hour early for my appointment and left in my other suv . I was not rushing the installer at all. Before I left I went over that i wanted everything to the edge or over. I don't have dot matrix on any windows. I was told it would be computer cut and it will be perfect. He said he doesn't need to cut anything by hand. I brought the car in showroom clean anywhere near the windows. Gaskets and window tracks all around each window were clean, 99% isopropyl on all windows to perfection, every corner. I'm now on day 3.5 of the car unused baking in the tropical sun and I have imperfections that aren't going to clear up in 30 or 300 days. There is sand/grit between glass and tint at bottom of windows, a bubble bigger then a quarter, bubbles i don't think are coming out, wrinkles, creases and over cuts, a hair. I don't mind the tint overlapping the part you can't see that's a factory non dot matrix frame, but how can you let it under lap? When I lived in NYC I used a guy called the art of tint and when he gave me my car back the worst I'd have is micro bubbles in the whole job. I contacted the tinter and he has offered to redo the job. My concern is that almost every window except for one has an issue. If i let him redo them and they comes out as bad or worse now he is out double time and materials and I am out my initial investment time and extra inconvenience. Is it fair to ask for 50% back for this relatively poor tint job by my standards? My standards are a tint job that's only flaw would be microbubbles. If I roll the dice on the redo where do I go after that? Any advice would be appreciated.
Dude, you are being ridiculous. If you have so much knowledge and high expectations, you should just try and do the job yourself and let’s see what type of results you have. You don’t even mention the type of vehicle that you have 🙄

Did you do the windshield?

I feel that it’s better than Xpel for sure. Suntek is the pinnacle for me with all their innovations, but this new product from global is going to become a big player in the game! Trust this.

This is a great film. The adhesive is just the right amount of aggressiveness. Super clarity by the way.. Looking forward to bringing this into my daily lineup!

It’s unfortunate, but Rayno is not a long term film. The thinking might be because it’s a ceramic film, it will last. Not the case with whatever level of their product you choose. It’s just sad

This is a good film. Used it for a brief period. Good color and no issues or comebacks. Will hold up for the long term

I’m interested

Hello,
What would be the cost to ship to Northern California?
Thank you!

Two possibilities. Its not shrunk enough. Once you’re done lift the film again and do a final shrink down. Two its the way you squeegee and you’re creating the fingers.
This..

Did a bumper with the Suntek “Hi-Tack” and really liked the results. Gives everything a “tacky” felling in a good way, just enough to lay everything down super clean.

Just did one today! What a Mother-f-er. Took me like 4/12 hours by myself to tint this monster but was ultimately happy with the results.. ( Global QDPC).I did charge accordingly, but wish I could have gotten more now that I know what it involved with doing these properly. Time and patience! Was any one noticing how contaminated the front doors (laminated) are with slag?

Looks good
What's your limit on difficult installs? When do you call it quits?

But what exactly is the issue for experienced installers? To have to do a window like this multiple times to get it correct seems odd. I have done several of these and have never had a problem. It’s all about the approach and preparation for this particular vehicle.
