Man...I need to do a Kool wrap on our tanks.  We own so many that none of them is actually personally mine and I am the one that bought them.

Hmm will have to look into this product. I usually get the apprentice to get the adhesive off the glass  

It work really great and cost less then Rapid Remover. I would recommend it.

I don't take panel off on that model and no need to felt. Just take your time on that  car. Allow yourself 3 - 4 hrs.

That sucks. How big a pain is that. It has all the hvac controls on the center arm rest. 

Look up that model in the Audi section of this forum.  I put up pic and instruction of taking seats out.

I remove seat to the back glass.

This conversation makes my hand cramp,  by all means buy a corny tank or 2 and be done with it.  Best move I ever made was getting away from hand sprayers. 

X2 ....tank and be done with. You will never look back.

So to you pro panel pullers: how the hell do you get Audi/vw gaskets out? The panels peel back so easily, then I grab the seal and they don't budge a bit

Use the hook tool and hook it on both end and wiggle...the sweep is tight on those 2 model but it will come out. You can also used your push stick to loosen the end and middle.. I personally use 2 hands and force it out but be careful if it is your first time. 

The question you should ask is....how long have the rep been with the company.  I have seen rep come and goes...and that is usually a bad sign.  Then I seen company that have their rep for many many years letting me know that the product is good and the company take good care of their rep.

Here are the instructions for removing the sweep from the new G90.

Front Doors:  remove 1 screw behide the handle and 1 screw from the armrest.  Pop off door panel toward the lower front of the panel. Remove your sweep and done.

Back Doors:  took us some time to figure this one out.  Remove screws like you would the front door. Pop off door panel and remove top cover. Remove 6 black screw to release auto window screen (what ever it is called). I put blue tape to show you guy where the screw are located. Pull the auto screen away from door (it is a little tight due to the sweep but it will release). You have to do this to remove the sweep due to it being one piece and stretching to the end of the quarter glass. 

After many years of building, buying, and collecting heat lamp display through out the last 12 years....This is the best one.  It is made from aluminum and wall mounted.  The size is 30" x 28" x 7 3/4".  We are selling $500 plus tint because of this box daily.  We spend less time explaining and selling to customer because of this heat lamp box. The box and graphic serve as a informative and heat display all in one. It is very user friendly, the film will sell itself using this box. We have hundreds of customer that walk up to this box and say I want that one.  

The graphic on the box are custom design by us in-house. We own a graphic and printing company call Innovation Design and Graphic. Since we are a window film company....We are better at designing what graphic will work or not for the window film consumer. 

I have 10 left and will custom design your brand film of choice.  I would just need to know the 3 films you want on the glass.  I will grab the spec of the film and design, print, and install.  All you need to buy is the IR bulbs and installed it to the wall.

The box with custom graphic installed and shipped is $650.  You will get your money back from the extra profit this box made in a few days. Email me at NorngLLC@gmail.com if you are interested.

Very well said @XPEL Jeff

My first 2 shrink attempts would have been acceptable at most tint shops, but not at ours. Every attempt get better though. Where you using crystalline?

Yuup

There really no quick way of doing this windshield.  I attempted 3 time and spend 7 hrs and fail.  Cost me about $700 in film and lost money and my time.

Dude...we have a lost skill trade like lock smith.  The all charge me $300 to unlock my door when I got lock out.  The charge me $600 to change out new lock for my place when keys are lost or stolen.  .....Let me tell you something about locksmith .....They all work together on pricing.  They don't rip no one off.  Their time are worth that much and they value it so much that they charge that much.

Why can't we value our time and skill set.  If we all work together instead of trying to undercut each other.  We will all be valuable.

The service industry is here to stay and will alway have a demand.  DO NOT DEPRECIATE THE SKILL AND DEMAND. I live in Houston and  we are short on tinter big time.  

Man...You are very expensive.....I charge $80 for a whole car and do free removal if I get a chance to tint your car.

Man I got to try it... is it safe if it get on plastic and leather?

We do 1k plus on 3M Crystalline per car about everyday.  $2800 is the most I have charge for Crystalline for one Mercedes Sprinter model.  We only carry 2 film from 3M and so the consumer only have 2 choices when they come to us. 65% to 70% of our tint install are Crystalline .
