You need to remember...all these new film brands are not mfrs. They are simply reboxers, they just meet a MOQ order with one of 2 or 3 actual mfrs or converters and away they go. A few of the other offbrand reboxers buy from a importer who supplies them with material that is made in Korea. .. then rebox it. .. In a nut shell, ..if you have as little as 20k to invest... you can pretty easily set up your own line of film. 
 Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you or has no idea what they are talking about. 

I would say for us there has been no affect since we do not compete with shops that use these cheap films.  In the rare situation someone says something like another shop has Ceramic film for cheaper, I always ask what brand?  Then explain to them that there are more cheap quality Ceramic films on the market that film than good ones.  90% of the time we still get the customer.  The people that choose to go the cheaper route is usually not a customer we want anyway.

it has happened twice to me after reading this post . first one is a 2019 Accord and 2nd is 2017 Acura tlx. I'm waiting for the custy to let me know if it dried out yet.Funny thing 
is i never noticed it before i read this post .

I thought about doing that too, but now I am seeing a common issue with their rear window breaking due to stress.  This can just happen for no reason and a bunch of people has had to warranty it.  The rear glass is two thin layers sandwiched together.  Every time I think stop being a b!tch and just do them, I find out more design issues.  Hell no, find another shop.

Start with the customer signing a damage wavier before any work is done . i only say this cuz i tinted a 2016 f150 4dr with rear defroster and I had to redo the center window  cuz of a bubble could not be worked out. long story short I will be buying and replacing the rear slider. Defrosters now days are crap!!!!! Hope this helps my tintdudes!!!
