Glad To wasn't the only one , I have called them maybe 6 or 7 times, no answer

Well there goes all my hopes and dreams of a good cutting software lmao

He's a busy man. If i was a rep on a forum  i'm sure i wouldn't get a chance to read everything or i would miss something. Cant expect him to be everywhere or present all the time.

i'm sure he has a life outside of this forum.

You must hate stek, cuz you have repeated this in 4 posts lol

If you're a current user u get to keep the software, any newcomers will not be able to get cut code without buying xpel film. U can have the software to cut proform kits but no cut code to cut the xpel kits.

if it is as good as they say, i'm sold!

I like software that can offer full wraps around every wheel well, I like the overkill

almost every software company claims to have good and accurate patterns but its all just "good enough"

The amount of film wasted with a plotter is extreme to say the least. A 20" roll on a plotter is not a 20" roll...it's an 18" roll. So you wind up cutting doors off a 40".

Example...Chevy trucks the work with a 20" Roll and tuck if positioned right for a hand cut. So two 20" x 34" = 40" x 34"

Plotter has to cut them off a 40" roll like an F150..longways....so the plotter uses a 40"x 42"

Doesn't seem like much eh?

Now do it for a Frontier, a Titan, a Ridgeline and bucket loads of the other makes and models taller then 18" that's when it starts getting extreme.

Patterns work.... kind of..most of the time...

When I load film on my roland a 20" roll is 19"

most vehicles I cut using a 36" roll and if I need it larger I just cut it sideways

I cut all my ram windows and Silverado windows sideways. The ford ones sometimes I have to angle it

Very little wastage unless the pattern sucks.

This is a Silverado window

New F150 window

If you were to handcut this window you would need 24" x 36" = 48" x 36"

In the end its pretty much the same Size.

These photos are from precision cut off my pc

i did one the other day, just pulled the panel, super easy to tint after with a precut 

i've had this issue twice, when you pop the trunk , everything is covered and sealed, nothing  to cover and i'm unsure where the module is 

it only happens on the 2015/2016 CLA, We spoke to Mercedes and they are made differently apparently. This post should be pinned

It looks familiar to me, I'm guessing the scratch is on the inner side between the glass and the tint, if yes then I have done that before, but I owned up to it, a piece of sand was on a squeegee and when my student made swipe from left to right he scratched the glass, I ended up paying 650 for it to be replaced

Is that scratch from left to right?

The extreme cold shouldn't effect the job. just make sure to bump and squeegee as much water out as possible.

I heat all the windows on the bottom to speed up the drying process

Cheers!
