Done. Going to vote 3 more times. 1 at the shop, 1 with other cell phone, 1 more at home.

Remodeled and moved into a 60 year old service station as our new larger location February 1st and haven’t looked back!  We’ve nearly tripled the last two years numbers in 8 months!  85% of tint jobs are ceramic now. And the lift/level and accessory side doesn’t show any signs of slowing down!  This far 2019 has been a phenomenal year. 

We tried PDR and went to Ding King training for it last year,  around this time. We were able to practice a lot from November to January. Unfortunately and fortunately it got so busy at the shop that we didnt have time to do any PDR,  afterwards. We have to go back to training for it. This year has been crazy for us. Just like you, it is now slowing down a bit. I am now training 3 interns for next year. We turned down so many customers. Our PPF and Vinyl are now getting very busy as well. I turned down every single Vinyl Wrap with a full color change because we were understaffed. Its about 2 cars per week for 6 months. We also just landed a gigantic job with our electronics department that will require 2 personnel 24/7/365. Basically its our 3rd year in business and It has been nuts compared to last year. 
 
The Tesla giga factory is bringing in many people who are from out of town and people are now making more money per hour because of Tesla. It's hard to find a job that pays less than $14/hr. Even McDonalds pays $12 now.

Haven't seen the HD's, that is a 1500 above...I am not a truck guy but always been on the Ford side of things.  I think the Raptor is the only truck I could actually see owning.

How is everyone's business going as we get closer to the end of 2019?  We have been super slammed this year thanks to the long and hot summer here in Georgia.  This week and last week are the first ones we haven't been booked out, so I guess it is time to slow down some and relax.  Our Llumar numbers are through the roof but our Crystalline jobs this year have severely declined.  I think this is mainly due to the Tesla Model 3 launching and us not tinting it.  Last year we were slinging Crystalline like crazy on the Telsa Model S, but seems to be more 3's selling this year than S's.  3M Ceramic-IR should be launching dealer-wide right before SEMA, so hopefully, that will bring our 3M numbers back up by having a Ceramic option.  Hopefully it has a normal appearance cause I wasn't feeling Obsidian.
 
Plus loving the new front-end on the Silverado Z71!
 

My kid just scored 97th percentile on her TAG test. I'm a proud papa.  

It look good to me...don’t pick this guy apart because you want it closer to the edge...we charge additional $25 for shave top each glass.  For all the tinter here...we suppose to support each other and not tear another tinter apart. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. 

Good luck man I searched out looking for something better than global and they always seemed to fall short. The xpel seems to be everyone's fling of the week, tried it out blah. 

For flat glass I prefer the film to bo on the roll liner out. Autoi would assume liner in would be preferable.

I tried  suntek, Huper optic,  Llumar , solargard, and 3 m crystalline . Depends on how much you want to spend . I like the new solargard vortex but it’s pricey . For cheaper cost I don’t know what the best option is , but cheaper Llumar is good, supreme series solargard works ! Huper optic has a good cheaper option . 

Lulu is roll backwards too, check out xpel or global?

@Stewy if you decide to go Global I can get you the 10% discount from training.
You going to be at SEMA this year?
