I have no issues using Distilled water - I leave in my tank for weeks and clean them every 3-4 weeks.

And how much all of this cost you? Website and SEO inclusive...

Jimmy, how hard it was to bend the Edge one?

I am still new to all this... now that I am offering more Ceramic options the goal is to bust the myth to my clients that darker doesn't always means better protection and perhaps turn a better profit on legal jobs. I get it from all points of views here guys... This is a good conversation.

And by saying that all work you do is legal you can remain profitable on WINDOW FILM sales alone?
I commend you.... ! hats off
-
no... those are exceptions, legal meaning following state laws.
-
by a show of ' I do' let's take a tally, are you only installing Legal? if so, just reply We do. I highly doubt any shop can operate on window film sales alone under that model and be profitable.

That is how I feel about it, window tint shades being illegal is more for police being able to ticket you for the government to make money...not so much about safety. Also highly used for probable cause to pull people over to check for other illegal activities. I was on a police forum once and they were asking officers do they ticket out of town people for illegal tint. 99% of them stated absolutely not, they just use it to pull them over. For example I was pulled over last year by a State Trooper because my window tint "looked dark". He quickly measured it and it was legal, so he moved right into the conversation on why he really pulled me over without missing a beat. What he was pissed about was he tried to check my speed (3 attempts) and was unable to because of my Laser Jammer. They are 100% legal in GA, but he wanted to let me know that he knows I have one and that they are pushing to have them illegal the following year. I also thought about the times I was pulled over for window tint in the past (roughly 18 ticketed times and around 6 non-ticketed times) not once have the officer ever stated it was a because of safety of me being able to see. Every single time that a reason was given, it was because the officer wants to be able to see the driver and passenger of the vehicle for their own safety. Which I can understand to an extent, but if I was planning on shooting the officer I can easily have the gun to side of me, pull it up and shoot him. Window tint or no window tint would not matter because he still wouldn't be able to see the gun nor know my intentions.
Very true on them being able to see for their safety, and I am all for that thus why I tend to talk most clients into legal Ceramic options. I want that father to go home and hug his wife and kids at the end of his shift.

I explain to every customer here in Tampa Fl, the benefits, the law and limits - the shade that I sell most, you guessed it 20%, and we all know 20% is illegal. Match front doors to factory on my new SUV? well nothing is close than 20%. If you tell them they can do a 35/20 combo to stay within the law, they don't want the difference in shade and want it all the same around. I don't install 5% on any car, I carry 15% but on limited quantities.
If I was just to follow 100% of the time what the law says, mine as well close shop.
What I don't understand is, why are attorneys going after the tint shops but they don't do the same after the Race Shop who sold all the race parts to the kid who installed the super charger, the engine hop ups used in the car for killing my brother? Why don't we go after the auto parts selling these highly intense head lamps on Jeeps and other 4x4 vehicles that blind you completely and make you almost go off the road cause you cannot see anything?
It boils down to owner responsibility, not the shop installing it. So let's say, you're a smoker - you get cancer from it, are you going after the Circle K who sold you the pack? No, right, so why go after the Tint Shop.

Keep the radio on.

Nice but they be pretty dark , I hear the tint police knocking
All of them are 20%. Except the Pearl White Highlander, he is an Albino customer of mine and he has a State Script.

I tried both methods, only to find myself going back to the knife. For top edges, I use a carbon blade.

I would add a little slip tape to the back of the putty knife.

I like the Putty knife better, nice.

Nope, just don't tack the top of the glass by the mirror, use heavy slip and once you get the bottom in, then tack the top too. Besides, you can bottom load these with ease too.

Hi Howard,
A lot of effort and practice over the last year to today's work that I have been doing. I have been keeping steady down here in sunny Florida. I found that the key is not how fast you can get paid, but taking your time to make sure that the next time you see that client again is for the next job, and they remembered you for the good work. If it takes me 3 hrs, well ok I am good with that, I have never been about quantity, just branding a good rep.
Oh by the way, thanks for the banner!!!!!!
