Back window was kind of a pain to shrink....shrank it 3 times finally got it down....tug and pull!!!

I traded work for tattoos!!!

I would like to learn pdr

From what the PDR guys say at my job....PDR is way more money...and they worked less hours why would you go to tint?

Won't pay that sort of money for dyed films

I'm old school and just bag using my regular slip solution.  Ammonia is prolly safe but I'm afraid I would have a customer say they are alergic to it and want a new car.

Works wonders

I would try tinting over what is left there and let it fully cure. Try pulling it off and if that doesn't cut it get a brick. 

That is my favorite trade.

The people you don't expect to tip do... I've done flawless jobs...like a s550 windshield sunroof all around.... Not even a thank you... Job took 4 hours....guy with a  older Chrysler 300 gives me lunch and 20 bucks....

Well the 2 guys that taught me to tint...always told me to buy good tools and always buy good film...cheap stuff always cost twice as much in the long run...and thanks for all the responses..

Customers used to bring me beer and donuts. They'd come back with like 3 more cars. (First job tinting) now they bring lunch or breakfast for 8-10 people. Twice in 2 months now. Cool people exist  neither drove Bmw's though just saying.

Try slinging Tint for 32 years my wrist hurt,my elbows hurt,my knees hurt my shoulders hurt.

Did a 2000 4runner today! Hatch was one bolt under the strap. The bg needed no shrinking versus the newer i dry shrink bottom, wet shrink top. Damn door panels had those pins that audi or vw has where you have to push in the center pin to remove. 3 bolts per panel to pull. 
 
 

I always felt slightly insulted when people asked me to 'hook them up', as if I was asking too much for my work. Plus if I'm working for someone, I want them to be successful and my success will follow. Not be looking for any opportunity to take from my boss or do work that would otherwise go through the store.  

You can't take that seal out. One bolt and the whole panel is off. 

Hell no do side jobs then make your own business dont listen to these cracks just do it on your  own time with your own tint  make that cash...after hours weekends it's your world bro... 

Me and my coworkers did a full system and tint r&r ...we got tipped with 4-24 packs.... customer worked at a brewery

Business is business...needs to stay separated from personal work.  Even though you are doing it as side work and for someone you know, the impression still might be it is being done by the shop.  So if there is ever a warranty issue and you have moved out of town, that shop might be getting a bad review or complaint because that person thinks they are responsible for it.  Not so much to do with you, just a stupid decision by the business owner.  As far as side work being worth it to you, only you can answer that.

family and friends should be understanding of your job. The asshat customer you speak of I don't allow employees to offer the same service in my garage which I operate my business. It's a conflict of interest.

I double shrink the bottoms of BG...I lift up film halfways and anchor the sides and shrink the middle again helps a lot with random fingers...
