It’s been a slow week so far. But still got some work done today. 

Never again.

It was a slow Saturday, but I still did work. 👌🏿

How big of a tent do you want?

Did these sliders the other day. I think this was 10-15 year old static cling film. I’ve never seen actual window film look like and come off like this stuff did. 

Those are not bubbles, but pieces of dust/trash/felt contamination of some sort.  They will not go away.  Pic #2 is from the installers fingers when he applied the film.  
Trash in the film like that shows up more with darker films and the ceramic type films like what you have installed.  Dust particles are our enemy. They are everywhere during installs and we do what we can to keep this from happening.  I say all this so you are aware of what the installer is dealing with.  
 
If you go back to the shop and ask them if they can do a better job,, try to be as understanding as possible about the situation (until it is time to not be understanding). 
They might agree to try and redo them with less trash or they might tell you it's the best they can do.  
Also be aware that it will be a removal and replace so there is a risk of left over glue if not cleaned well during removal.  
 
Now that you know what is up, all you can do is talk to the shop and see where it goes from there.  Good luck.

You are not someone who should open a business if that's your business plan.

Locked until/unless Bossman decides otherwise....
 
 

Been a fun week so far.

Call the shop. Tell them you have a slight issue and you would like to schedule a time for someone to look over the vehicle. Bring the car and your pictures back to the shop. Tell them your issue. Allow them a chance to rectify the matter. If it was darker than permitted by law in your state, that’s likely why there wasn’t a warranty card given. If it is legal shading, then ask for the warranty card and written receipt. If they’re a professional shop, they will do what they can to make it right. 

They can only “prove” it by letting you look inside the film core prior to the film’s installation. And then allowing you to watch the entire job. Not many shops do that. But that’s the only way, and even then an unscrupulous person can swap out the core labels. You just have to find a shop you can trust. 
 
As far as the scratch; as professionals we carry insurance. But most of the time it’s just easier to pay someone to fix the damage out of our pocket rather than make a claim. Sometimes the deductible is higher than the cost of the repair. Remember, we’re humans installing plastic on your glass. Accidents happen. What makes a shop truly professional is avoiding those accidents, but rectifying them if they do happen.
