Did you try torching here or just saying that it is what it is and there is no need to torch?

I tried torching there. 

Any idea percentage or which line you had installed?

Waste of time. 

Good luck man I searched out looking for something better than global and they always seemed to fall short. The xpel seems to be everyone's fling of the week, tried it out blah. 

Stay away from the rayno, several reported failures with that film. May be a good shop but that film is 💩

  If you own a property and fall off a ladder...you then rent your property. ...if you fall of a ladder and are locked into a lease.... you still need to cover that lease and most landlords frown of sub leasing... 

Not gonna argue hypothetical situations that could or could not happen. All I know is statistically most small businesses fail and foreclosures only happen on properties with mortgages. Plenty of ways to run a business and be profitable, I just choose to not do so with debt. 

Before doing so I encourage you to read the total money makeover and entreleadership by Dave Ramsey. What is not assumed is the risk that goes along with the mortgage and running a business with debt. What happens when you fall off of a ladder and have to lay out of work for 6 months? I'm not saying rent you're entire career that would definitely be dumb. All I'm saying is people rush into a mortgage way to soon because of numerous reasons and wind up bankrupt. There's absolutely nothing wrong with renting for a few years so that you can save up and pay cash for a place

Looking for reliable shops with reliable products in eastern Pennsylvania (preferably Lehigh Valley/ Allentown).

Here's a good friend of mine that does a great job. Please tell him this guy from tintdude referred you he'll get a kick out of that.

What is it that you're looking for that global doesn't offer?

There's way to many variables with that for us to say. However my rule of thumb is you should be able to cover rent in a decent day or two gross. So if on the regular you can do 800 a day then right around there. Also if you're not tracking your daily gross you need to be this will tell you exactly how much you can afford. Make sure you can cover it in your worse months and you'll be fine. 

all the cxp I've seen has been hazy as hell.

If the tiner/owner just said - ok.. we'll take care of it - I would agree. But because they didn't and denied any possibility of wrong doing... 

 

I had a homeowner's window break after I tinted it. I know it wasn't the tint - it was a lighter shade, ie less absorbtion, but I replaced the window for them. I didn't argue... I just did what I need to do to make them happy. 

 

This tinter acted in a way that, imo, wasn't very professional. He deserves to be put on blast. 

 

It's whatever... but this is why shops that do crappy work continue. Throw money, or a refund, at the problem and it goes away. Well.. that's all well and good - but the customer that accepts that is just as much to blame when future customers also have problems with the tint jobs they receive. 

 

Just tired of people posting about tint jobs that they spend good money on are garbage but do nothing to prevent it from happening again to other innocent customers who likewise read nothing but positive reviews... cause no one wants to post anything negative. 

 

 

 

 

Agree completely I've got a competitior that will do anything possible to get Google reviews and I can't tell you how many people I've had in my shop complaining about him. Even stuff similar to what this guy has experienced and way worse. I very rarely leave any negative reviews because of the impact it could have on my business however. In the end the op is I guess happy so doesn't really matter. 

Yeah cut him some slack 😂😂😂 

That's weird for a non ceramic film shouldn't have Haze like that. I would just take it in and show them what's going on shouldn't be an issue just to replace those two. 

Any idea what type of film it is and what vehicle? 

And it's very important that people with your experience leave negative ones imo. 

Instagram and Facebook are killing me today 😂

No, but maybe I should suggest it. Thanks for your response!

 

👍 That would take out that risk only downside is most exterior film has around a 5 year life expectancy. 

There's always a risk of it when the full window can't be tinted however I've done several not in that application and never had an issue. No film manufacturer or tinter is going to warranty it if that does occur. Did they consider an exterior application?

I don't have any issues with them at all, mainly because I don't use them

I don't doubt their fg films but the auto is straight garbage. Scratches easy, fails in 3 or so years according to a customers post and my personal experience their ceramic is hazy. 

Go global you won't be sorry.
