Amen to that! I email them a list every now and then but I have no idea if they actually ever work on them?

We have been using the Tint Tek software for several months now and it seems there are about as many bad patterns as there are good ones. In your experience do they ever respond and fix these patterns? Also why would they not be liable for wasted material and time? It's just a question as I am tired of guessing whether they will work or not when we could have just hand cut them and not wasted time and material. Curious as to what your experiences have been?

Scratches from Gold Card
vanhorn1 replied to TintingRookie's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
We have actually found that the blue and black cards rarely scratch unless you pickup some debris. But using and orange or blue max for the majority of the window and finish around the edges with a hard card. -
tried and true headlight and tailight films?
vanhorn1 replied to civicrice's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Anytime you put stress on vinyl it needs to be post heated. Especially air release and especially around the edges. It's actually a good idea to hit all installs with heat, It will show you where and imperfections and air is left behind. -
We honestly have never had any issues. We tried tint slime, baby shampoo and just about everything over 35+ years and I think it's the most consistent.

We use Fusion, seems to be the most consistent we have ever tried. We do use a little more when it gets hot and humid. I was always told that dish soap can break down the glue and I know for a fact it can streak door panels.

I personally have not been able to find those thumb trigger spray nozzles in years. I really liked them better. They had the filter that could be cleaned and were more durable than this cheap replacement. Good luck, if you find any let me know.

I really just had to buy the glass. I designed it and had a fabricator buddy of mine do the work. Had to buy the casters which aren't cheap either. But it really works well and you can have a guy working from each side of it.

I built two identical racks double sided for our new shop. Made out of aluminum and holds all of our tint down below along with lights and heat guns.

We use https://pinpointscheduling.com/ We love it. I had my IT company develop this piece a software just for us and made it very versatile to fit any business need. Check it out!

Another service we offer besides tinting and wraps is making custom neon clocks. Anyone looking for a cool piece for their shop or showroom or maybe even a nice gift for someone. Here is a sample of one I did for a fellow tint shop. Checkout the website or contact me for details. https://vanhorncustomclocks.com/

Hello, We are in Bloomington and have used Scorpion for 7-8 years now and love it. By far the best customer service I have ever experienced in the 35+ years I have been in the business. Plus Marcus And Billy at UCA Distributing are great as well.
