    After replacing to many Red dot's I started give a the first set of tools. If they are worn out they swap them for a new one. If they lost it they pay for a new one.

    Jake reacted to pbalentine in Sharpie side window trick..for shifting windows !   
    I mark one side on just about all rollups, unless its a BMW, Mercedes, where the glass doesnt budge. I do a quick pass and check the edge before locking it down...never get a gap since doing this last year.

    I hate bottom loading the Chrysler 200 rear doors. The plastic is so wide on the sides.

    Jake got a reaction from TintDude in 2019 LS500 DAP pattern.   
    Often times we are quick to mention the negative and not often enough mention the positive. Just wanted to give a shot out to the guy that designed this bumper pattern. Not the easiest one to do. Has a lot of edges and different angles. The design was spot on.  @XPEL Jeff if you can relay it to the designer. Thanks for the attention put into this.

    Jake got a reaction from Super Dave in Scratch on roof window   
    Good on them for switching it out for the customer. Our dealers around here would just have some crap touch up guy do it in the parking lot and call it good. I feel new car quality is going south quick. I see it in glass and paint the most , but that is what I stare at all day. I also am not say one way or the other that it didn't happen while getting tinted. But people don't look at cars the same way until after they have a service done. I point things out to people all the time that had no idea about it. But I bet they would have noticed it after we worked on it. This isn't so much directed at your situation, but something is defiantly going on with Tesla. I have work on many over they years  but the 2018's are not looking great. I have done 4 brand new Model X P100D's in the last couple weeks. Two Full body PPF wraps and two full front clips. All got front window tint. The paint has been horrible on all of them. Dirt nibs in the paint, even seeing wavyness in the body panels. We have a white one in the shop right now that looks like the mirrors have so little paint on them you can see the black showing through. The one we had last week had scratches all over the roof glass on the outside. The owner said he saw them when he got the car but it was to much of a hassle to deal with. Not to mention thing like having to close the hood a certain way or it will bend. Really!  Sorry that turned into a rant.

    Jake got a reaction from CaliTINT in Tesla Model 3 Warning   
    I have realy like it. Have no real complaints about the film at all. I went from Global to this. I use Xpel Ppf also so it made it nice to order from one place. I love Global, but it is not a brand customers can do much online research on. Xpel may not have a large presence in the tint world yet, but it has a solid trusted name in PPF  so I think that can carry over into tint when customers are looking a it from a brand stand point.

    It's not a thing of some films do it and some don't. It is the polarized sunglasses catching light at different angles. Had a lady complain about it once. i explained it was the glasses. then look looked at me and asked "what are you going to do about it"?  People are crazy.

    This is a 1984 Capri bubble back glass. I only did it cause he is from our local mustang club. I have to admit, I wasn't sure if I could get it in one piece. Its QDP 5%. I did a lot of shrinking to the side. I got 2 light half inch creases, one on each side that heated out pretty well. I thought I was pretty cool for the day.
