Core isn’t what I expected. I can’t cut just one side of a vehicle, it automatically will transfer two front windows to the cutting board when I only click on one. That I don’t know how to change. So it’s a real pain in my rear. It has my plotter were it sucks film back in as soon as it starts cutting probably 6” or until it rolls off the plotter backwards. Heck precision cut 3 or 4 is better but still has horrible patterns. I almost want to call solar guard lol they used to have the best software on the market. 

Find a easy test car like a new Nissan Maxima or a newer Camaro and learn to shrink on those cars. Super easy. Dry shrink using the H pattern. Use a quality heat gun, white cotton gloves and a heat resistant card (I prefer a gold hard card). Shrink one finger at a time from outer edge in. 

1/8 gap or charge extra to file or shave the edges. 

It was my last hope at getting out of a hot warehouse job at a auto glass shop and into a climate controlled shop. Never in a million years would I have thought I’d be a tinter that’s for sure. I was the last one the boss offered the job to and the only one to accept the offer . It’s just like joining the mafia once your in you never come out. The only job I’ve had were one hour I might make $100  or $1000 it’s a crazy life. 

I get this almost on every older vehicle i tint with darker film. It brings out even the smallest exterior surface scratches. Almost certain its not the tinters fault here.

I tint for a Toyota dealership and had to learn this the hard way. These windows are easily scratched and costly to replace if damaged. NO RAZOR BLADES or any harsh solvents etc .

Its never too late to learn a new trick. Bottom loading is the ticket to a fast clean tint job.

Any newer camaro or maxima are my favorites super easy cars

Just wondering if anyone has seen the black thin tape on the front edge of the front two windows? Ive tried everything and tinting over it and heat gunning it down seems to be the best option. Anyone else on here run into one please fill me in on how it turns out.

They aren't not hard to tint its pleasing the nit picking customer that owns the car. One little speck and your done son. I would charge double as soon as I hear that L word. 

I found out the hard way as well. 

That about right. I sure hope it dries. Our Supra program was down our tech says . So the customer is coming back in 3 days. 

Just tinted 2020 supra. Easy car ,I pulled the top portion of panels back and removed gaskets. Snapped right back together fine. Customer was super happy. Leaves and returns 10 minutes later with a passenger restraint warning light coming on. I work for a Toyota dealership. Never had this happen on any other car. This is my first supra I've tinted though. Please help!

If its just streaks, dont rub them lightly, pat dry and use low heat to dry. Now for the secret ..... Peanut oil or popcorn oil . lightly rub on a thin coat and your good to go.  The peeling seems to only occur when wet and rubbed hard with a cloth and i dont think you can fix that.

Be extra cautious. What appears to be an easy $ is just an illusion. These have one piece gaskets, felt and suede everywhere. On the 08 A8L the regulator cable and metal end actually touch glass causing vertical streaks, or tearing of tint. The doors have these cute little Audi emblems that shine on the ground at night. Rip the tiny wires out of that red connector and your done. I will call in sick next time. The owners are usually picky as hell. Their mad bc they didn't have the $ for that Benz. Can't even afford Audi or the $200 for window tint. So they settle for An 08 POS!
