CaliTINT

That chic crazy the other tinter is a prick as well for going along with it.

So I had a customer come in with a lex ct200. Her car was already tinted with what looked like a 50%. She wanted to make the tints darker but she didnt want to pay extra for removing the old tint so I explained to her that I could put a darker tint on top of her current tint to hell her save money but that there could be issues down the line since it was 2 layers of tint. She decided to go with the 2 layer option. A week later she’s call me complaining her kids are having breathing issues and blames it on the second layer of tint. All I could do was laugh in my head and told her to bring her kids to the doctor cause I never heard of tint restricting air into the car. After another week she calls me telling me that she brought her car to the original guy that tinted her vehicle the first time and he had told her that I shouldn’t never put a second layer of film on in the first place and that the second layer could be the cause of the issue that her kids were experiencing. So after the bs, I ended up ripping off the tint I had put on reimbursed her money minus material costs and told her to invest the money into seeing a doctor cause there wasn’t something right about her kids.
In any case has anyone ever heard of experienced I’m not an asshole by nature but I can’t help but laugh every time I here her say her kids can’t breathe because of window tint. Guess people don’t have common sense to roll down a window or turn on the ac.

Can't say anything specific about CA, but if you have a waiver signed stating you are installing a film that is illegal it will be an open and shut case against you.  You are confessing that you are knowingly doing something illegal.  Look at it this way...if you murdered someone because they wanted you too and they gave you are signed waiver stating they asked you to do so, do you think you would be getting off or going to jail?  Simple...jail. 

Sorry fellow installers, a waiver whether signed or not, does not exempt you from the liability.
fact( one of my dogs bit a man) he walked 300 feet to my property from his to give my dog some scraps (neighbor, I live in the country), my German Shepard (Sassy) was a service dog for eight years, she was 14 at the time, he bent down, like an idiot in her face and she frog-bit him. There was a suit and I paid half to avoid litigation. Court said beware of dog sign means nothing... reason being, blind, non English and stupid don’t apply. So all I can say, is the waiver, signed or not for illegal window tint, means nothing. My wife is a lawyer and gets on me all the time for installing illegal film. So glad we left New York
Cheers

I haven't been here on tintdude for way too long.  Thought when I changed my business up last year I would have more time. ...Nope...busier than ever before with lower overhead! 
I'm really excited to be working the Automechanika car show in Dubai the first week of next month. Will be doing demos for Global window film during the day and sightseeing after work! Have two days off also so going to have fun. Have decided to go skydiving over the Palms, ride a camel and prolly eat some, visit the Dubai aquarium, watch the world famous fountain show during dinner and of course go up the tallest building in the world and take pictures from the observation deck on the 114th floor!!!
I'm amazed all the places around the world gluing plastic to glass has taken me♡♡♡
If anyone on tintdude is in the area let me know and we can hang!
Promise to keep you guys posted with pictures.
Cheers all
#globalwindowfilm, hanging the best! 

I would run the hell away from the Audi place
 

Don’t laugh,  couple years ago I tried the pink tri edge and Awsome. Doesn’t scratch and is my only final edger for automotive 

I do all of the above and wouldn't take them out of the process.

Both! Light mist when cleaning/squeegeeing and flush when about to install

Agreed but, sometimes it may be the best course of action based on client demeanor.
 
In this case, it IS a defect of the glass going back to its manufacturing and not the fault of the tinter. Just because window film was installed and may have sped up the growth of an inclusion does not mean the window film is at fault, nor the tinter. There is no way to 'see' and inclusion to be able to say, 'Hey bud, I don't think it'll be a good idea to install film to your glass'. The glass would have spontaneously broke sometime in the future without film being applied.

Hmmm... I don't agree that you should eat the cost of this. But that's just me

SH*T! MEE TOO!!!! lol I know I should replace them but I dont
 

No glove no love hahah

I explain it to my customer before hand so there's no questions at the end.

Been using my yellow turbo for years...  this post reminds me I should probably replace it...lol

You also might want to give your supplier a heads up so they don't end up selling  the same film as you.

There are a few formalities to go through to set up an account. They will just need some of your basic business information and then you can start ordering. 

I wouldn't say that, I believe most cut rubbers, that's the way I've always done it. 

When the plotter is your friend you are a plotter’s accomplice

Don't think I've even touched my side swiper in about a year

So when you try to get them. Do you just call up the company or fill out a form? How do you go about it? Sorry if it's a stupid question I'm just new at this haha
