Jkatfelix reacted to blackoutauto in Safest Method
In my opinion the best method is using a black garbage bag and Windex with ammonia in it.
the second best option is using a jiffy steamer. not a regular pressure on demand steamer

No but that's a good tool too, here's the reach. Works great once figure out how to handle it.

The titan and the reach. I also like an empty binder. The reach is hanging on the left in bottom pic hiding behind the slim foot.

Limo rear 20 front.... Backseat headrest are ridiculous in this car!

Jkatfelix reacted to DynamicATL in Post install drying - lighter or darker?
It is darker for sure, just have to go with the next shade up. Downside is the "go-to" option to match the rear is 15/20. In most cases this is fine, but some vehicles meter lighter than others. This is why we meter all privacy windows to ensure we match it up the best. Even if we can't, atleast we can discuss it with the customer prior to tinting. A lot of shops will just slap on 15/20 without metering it assuming it will be fine.

I get urethane skid-marks on both the glass and the hardcoat with the orange crush. Would use them if that were not the case.

Jkatfelix reacted to quality tintz in Tinting outside tips?
Tinted two Windows outside today came out nice my tip is use extra slip and good thick film that won't crease if you get a little wind......

like in my one vid, figure if I keep talking, they can't. history of film during 2 doors on a truck LOL
other fav thing, pop the trigger on the torch a few times and say " don't try this at home we are professionals" most walk away as the flame hits the car
had many owners/managers freak as I started to torch, just said " this is how the big boys get it done" and they hide
did an aveo shield in a new account, torching on the inside. owner with no expression watching. poked my head out and asked "this don't bother you?" he replied "not my car" good for a laugh.
not fond of an audience, but try and put on a good show when i do with some spinning tools and flipping squeegees. anyone remember tom cruise in cocktails or coyote ugly? takes some practice but lots of fun

Only if you promise to call me five minutes after you leave asking why there's bubbles in your tint.

If I know the panel is loud , I pull twice as hard!

Jkatfelix reacted to highplains in Letting customers watch you as a selling point?
I don't need or want an audience. Especially if I'm pulling or popping the top of a panel, the newer GMs let loose a hell of a snapping noise when you pop the top. Had a salesman present when I was popping one the other day and he about shit himself, can only imagine what a customer would be like when it sounds like you're breaking shit on their new $30k-$100k vehicle.

I hate when you get a crease and have to distract them while you work in it secretly haha

Jkatfelix reacted to TintDude in Letting customers watch you as a selling point?
Oh hell no. They always wind up talking, so now half my brain has to listen and reply to you while the other half tries like hell not to burn this piece I just spent a bunch of time prepping. Oh, and don't mind if I take off your door panels do ya?
Hey, thanks for turning the ignition off for me while I tint this roll up, I had no idea I left it on. Oh, a bubble? Thanks for pointing that out to me. No, it goes on the inside.

Couple more Redot only cuts on a new Camero and yet still cant get a nice pic

Jkatfelix reacted to DOOTINT in File window tools / blades files sandpaper??
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
-
Jkatfelix reacted to DOOTINT in File window tools / blades files sandpaper??
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
