Bad ppf and tint job? Help!
TintDude replied to Dak5679's topic in Paint Protection Film, Clear Bra Forum
That looks like a complete hack job to me. -

That's sweet. Paint it up like a mini urban assault vehicle. -

Red mirror film scratches over time
TintDude replied to Jayp's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Using a customer's film is always risky unless you know what it is. -
Horizontal bands on a 3M windshield tint
TintDude replied to spyker's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
How long have you had the car? Never noticed it before? Only way to know for sure is to remove and see if you can notice it without the film. -
Horizontal bands on a 3M windshield tint
TintDude replied to spyker's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Is that your windshield? Just so you know that's not legal anywhere as far as I know. It's not normal, but it could be the glass and the film is amplifying it. -
New Tint lifting / Halo around stickers?
TintDude replied to TxFb's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
It's the thickness of the stickers and lettering. The film has to lift up and over the edges, it will not seat down there. Every film will do that. To avoid, the sticker must be removed. Nothing can be done about the lettering on the etching. -
Hard to tell whats going on there. It looks like 2 different issues. First thing I'd recommend is not using clay block. The first pic looks like it might be from clayblocking in circles where it picked something up and made fine scratches, or squeegeeing against them during installation (instead of side to side) maybe dragging air making those marks. I dunno. The second pic looks like residue from an old bubbled tint job.

Ceramic tint distortion question
TintDude replied to Onequestionabouttint's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Yeah, if it's that bad they should replace is asap, especially on the windshield. Him getting warrantied is not your problem. In my opinion. -
Is this a heat gun damage?
TintDude replied to Code007's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Man, I can't tell what's going on there. Maybe someone else will chime in. -

Can you get a zoomed in pic? -

It's hard to tell what's going on there. I doesn't seem like eat gun damage, more like something scraped it sideways. -
Fibers showing on back window..help!
TintDude replied to StealthDonut's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
In my opinion, that's a redo. A couple of specks here and there is normal, but not a couple of hairs. I'm sure if you take it back and show them they will redo it. Hard to believe they didn't see them though. -
Does my tint need to be redone?

What crap is being stirred? What does he have to gain? -

TintDude replied to zachc275's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
I think it's the latter, there's no way the installer didn't see that. Probably left water around it to get it out the door. -

TintDude replied to zachc275's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
You always think we are being punked. Why would he lie about something like this? It definitely looks like adhesive of some kind, but It's hard to believe it would be like that after a removal. Who knows. If they let that out the door it could have been anything. -

That's not normal, that's some really bad contamination under the film. Looks like it was tinted by Stevie Wonder. -

So, how did this work out? Sorry no one had any advice. -

You're welcome, sorry you had a bad experience. -

TintDude replied to Esant707's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Replacement is up to you, how bad that scratch bugs you. It can be touched up with paint to hide it a bit. Personally I wouldn't trust them to remove the film, they'd probably just leave all the clear adhesive behind for the next guy to deal with. Tough call because now you have to pay someone to remove and replace it. -

Wow, jobs like that really give tinting a bad name. Not sure what caused the scratch, but I think you are right about it being them. Yeah, they should have cleaned up the seats and shelf after. The last picture is adhesive that was left behind from the first job they removed. What a hack job. I wouldn't let them work on it again.
