I am not the best at nice pics but this is just 2 of my older chev trucks that i tinted pretty fast but i have done a few windows since 89
 
And basically took around 30-40 different autos maybe to sort of master hand cutting nice patterns back then

Learn to cut/place a nice pattern and you dont need a file?
 
And how are you supposed to file the deep back corners? But maybe possible with a super thin fine craftsmen ignition file to some degree

I use a panel popper tool and the noise is less on gm trucks 

I have never filed tint edges because(never heard of that) and i can cut/place pretty good but shaved a few(olfa or redot) that were past the top edge=bad placement and or poor lighting/vent visors blocking light/rushing/need glasses lol etc
 
If i got $100 per door glass? Maybe i would file the edge lol
 
Little Fine metal file this is and i probly would say dont use course files for tint shaving
 
Nobody files ignition points anymore either and most dont know what they are and not even on any modern engines anymore but its a nice little file if you do small engine rebuilding or deburring small stuff

I have a nice old restored big square chev 4w dr to do but i told him to wait til i feel like doing it lol

18 gm equonox=i took the screw out by the latch and panel wasnt popping easy so i shoved the long side of the GW in because the high front door panel and stuck the little one at the end/then carefully slide the front edge in there and the lower part of the pattern on the glass/letting the rest hang over/then grab the GWs and pull them out and slide the film down to position and carefully get the top back corner in that deep area without touching the frame
 
Minor adjust that nice edge and Blue 3m hardcard lock it hard and fast/wipe/little tri-edge and roll up nail the bottom and some tri-edge and done with no heatgun or any side creases to heatgun for these 2 fronts lol

Well that sucked...
 
 
'morning all....
 
 

Panel/seals are all diff and some top of door panels are higher than the seal and some types you have to start with the window lower to slide it to that perfect edge so binding sucks for most

I ditched the bungees real fast way back in the early 90s and just finess/bottom load it and use the bottom of my hands/palms near wrists to push them outward so the film slides in and maybe need abit more slip than normal maybe and slide the front part in 1st on some
 
Takes some practice and most are all 2nd nature to me but i still remove the seals on a few rides
 
But lots of them are 5min installs with no heatgun mostly but occasional small crease from rushing? LoL

Pretty darn sure a 36in roll will fit the 90s impala rear glass, its been a while since i did one of them but they are not that big

When i 1st started tinting it was 5% and i was pulling into a driveway in the outback and went thru the ditch at buddys house party and he was laughing/thank god nobody was there with a black shirt

New mustangs and vettes need some shrink of newer rides

I hate when the lower seal gets wet and might cause fingers
 
I hate taking panels apart on most doorglass
 
I dont have to use a heatgun on hardly any doorglass
 
Hate touching the glue side of the film for doorglass
 
And nice squeege pattern Coast

$69 tinting under tent? If they dont have a decent shop forget mobile
 
I remember doing a car outside and it came out ok but got a bug in the rear doorglass and 4yrs later the guy says the bug was still there LoL
