  1. older cars can be more challenging. dirt dots spread thru entire window is from air or water. if the prob is only old vehicles, probably the car. I mist the interior of older ones to de-dustify them including headliner. crawling in and out stirs up the dust. less water is better on the old ones
  2. I use a off road racing light bar. 45 bucks for a 36 inch 180 watt 18,000 lumen on amazon. tied it to a mechanic under hood bar so I can clip it across the A,B or C pillars
  3. top load and tape the felt gaskets. I use a little extra slip to easily get them in and torch the inside to set it in place. The shank is my tool of choice to tuck the film into the bottom.
  4. older vehicles or ones known to have problems with film sticking to the matrix, strong prep solution like pro bond works great. A thick cloth to make sure you get the residue out from between the dots when you apply. I wrap my pro-handle with a perfect cloth or kaywos 4 layers. squeegee alone will not get all the water out between the dots. I also use my torch on the inside if needed to speed it up on problem vehicles.
  5. torch is safer then heat guns. this vid would be quicker switching to map gas and a TS8000 tip. wider and hotter flame lets you back the torch up more while shrinking more. 2 or 4000 tips tend to burn film more, leave those for the plumbers. might attempt some new vids soon, walking better now, can handle couple hours out of bed. couple years catch up on house and yard work talking a bit of my time.
