Don't try and separate it you'll wind up with a busted piece of glass.

 It’s a rock solid film

How do we know that though?

Did this last week. Thought it turned out classy. Clear Frost

Nah think we'll change it with the other one we liked 😆

Good luck selling 35 silver on homes. Sure your clients will love the look of that film.

Does that shrink?

 

 

Yes it has some. I did wet shrink these IDK how it would do dry shrinking. 

Just listen to the cops and quit being a dumbass it's that simple. 

Wrong thread.

Car or auto?

Aren't they the same 😂

express classic black is a good entry level film. 

That looks like shit. 

My gawd that front end is hideous

Thanks for the heads up!

It's not one I'd be like yeah I did that but also isn't something I'd want to redo if that's all that's wrong with it. 

Agreed I always tell customers to give it a week before calling back. 

Agree with roach this is a job best left to professionals. It sucks for us too but most have the right tools for the job to help ease it.

Thing with tucking is you just will get those few times they just pop up. Had this happen on a Maxima last week, which I usually pull. Spent like 10 minutes messing with fingers. Just pulled the for the rest. Im tucking the older Gen Silverado and newer F150s and it ends there. I actually like removing stuff and like installing rollups like an easy, stationary SUV window. 

Why would you not remove the seal on the F-150? They literally pull right out. 

On the right vehicles I can tuck just as clean as my bottom load. It's a guessing game with it most of the time though so I usually go for bottom loading.

Why not back and forth? 

Dragging back debris. I've never done that but seems to me you'd be more likely to scratch.

Did a 19’ Mustang and did this with 1500. It was 5% and you couldnt even see the lines! Im not sketching on using it on new vehicles anymore. I couldnt drag my nail over the lines, but after sanding could hardly feel the line. I had a 18 Hell Cat Charger last week and was scared to use sandpaper. Spent like 20 minutes pressing peanuts down! Im sanding all that need it now new or old. Thanks to JH!!

 

Just an FYI the new mustangs don't peanut, at least they haven't for me. I don't do any special prep on them. I've done a ton of chargers and and challengers though and like stated earlier I use 2k with no issues. Keep the glass wet and push one direction not back and forth.

Hi sorry to necropost, but this thread was one of the top search results on google for “Johnson’s Window Film”.

 

My installer/friend uses Johnson’s. He’s put it on nearly a dozen cars for me in the past that I flipped. I have my first high end personal car and want to make sure the customizations are nice. On the forums for this car people are talking about seriously high tech ceramic films, etc. that are very very expensive.

 

Frankly it feels like they are paying 3 to 4 times what my buddy charges me and they are getting a result that is maybe 5% better. In other words I smell a whole lot of marketing BS.

 

To get to the point: If a top notch installer with over 10 years of experience is putting Johnson’s Window Film on my precious ride, I should be fine right? I don’t need the absolute best. I just want it to look great, last many years and block out some of the intense Arizona sun.

 

 

Go with the installer you've used and trust. That'll outweigh any negativity towards whatever film you use. 

I was wondering on that side one and just cut it out. Glad to know it's removable.
