We started doing 2 blocks for the day. First block is drop off at 9am-2pm second block drop off 1pm-6pm. All PPF jobs are now dropped at 9am and pick up next day.

That I don't really know. Havent had to do it.

My battery charger is on it's last leg. Looking for recommendations for one that will also do lithium ion for the new BMW's. Anyone one here have one they recommend?

Tough love. Sometimes we all need it.

The Ppf patterns are on a whole other level of shit.

Location is big with evap coolers.Her in Utah it is very dry in the summer. We have the big port-a-cool. It works decently well. Not ice cold but will drop about 10 degrees in the shop.Shop is 1800 ft2. If I owned the building I would install central air in a heat beat.

I have gotten 2 under my belt now. Both done in Xpel XR ceramic. I can't speak for you Crystalline guy because I know that film is another beast, but it really is not bad to do. The rear window is more time consuming because of the size. But they have been priced accordingly so I have felt good about doing  them. I used a 60" and shrank to the sides. Then I back rolled the film from the bottom to the top. Use a bit of extra slip to give you the extra time to squeegee out the water from the back glass. The plastic around the back glass sticks out a bit farther then the frit edge. So when you cutting make sure your not following the plastic and cutting it short.  I have talked with more owners then the ones I have tinted.Seems these owner are going to be a different breed. They act like they are Elon Musk himself.

Not all cars are the same to tint. You could do 2 Silverado"s in the amount of time it takes to do an accord.

I do not because we do not do paint correction. Ceramic coating are starting to be everywhere. Unfortunately I don't think that's a good thing. The guys I know that do it spent many hours and are extremely meticulous with the paint. Now it seem many guys just slap it on and go.I think it's going to cheapen the product.  

I have 2 this week. I ordered a 60' roll.My buddy has done a hand full and that is what he said it needed. 
 

How so? Every PPF installer I have ever known will use a hypodermic needle to pull out a small air pocket if needed myself included. I have never once seen an issue.

It's 4:00pm Friday, been at the shop since 5am, and my last car just canceled. Weekend here I come.

I have pulled paint on a Ferrari. It was about 10 years ago on a 460. I know others that have also. But I agree with you. I wouldn't pass up on the install. 

With Xpel Ultimate i use baby shampoo. With Suntek i used dawn Ultra. I felt the dawn gave a better tack with Suntek's less aggressive adhesive.
 

It seems to me most windows are wider then they are tall so you have more area to shrink top and bottom.

Your argument may be valid if covering the third brake light made it opaque. But the light is still clearly visible through the window film when lit. Even with 5% the light will shine through.
