    CnCCustoms got a reaction from smookee408@yahoo.com in How Has 2019 Been For Your Tinting   
    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.

    Express. Click link at top of page under film/inventory. Buy classic black in 25/50 ft lengths 40in and maybe 20in for doors. You can split 40, for car and some truck doors.

    We’ve seen this many times. Considering 50% of our truck jobs are Silverado’s or Tahoe’s or their gmc counterpart. Previous 10 years as a ford dealership technician leads to contacts in other mannys. I spoke with one. He said this is a widely known issue on especially the 14 and 15 models. GM used an unknown company for their “panel protectant”. The dealerships see them constantly from simple water from rain or spills. We even tried plastic covers. But if left u attended the humidity and moisture alone will sweat the coating loose!  GM technician as well as my own advice if this happens. Used a non abrasive white scrub pad and distilled water with a drop of cheap hair conditioner. And scrub the rest of the panel down to remove the top coat evenly. Pat dry and wait 10 min. Good as new. Hope this helps!

    Global QDP hasn't changed their formula in probably 50 years.  It is still the same great film it always has been, and will stand right up there with Llumar and 3m.  Which is why I install it every day and have no worries about any problems with my film.  
     
    Go with the Global shop (in my opinion) not just because of the film, but because it should be a better experience than a chain store like TintWorld.  You should get a more personal experience from a smaller shop with a quality installer or two rather than a chain with a bunch of guys with minimal experience putting plastic on windows all day.

    Film is cheap in the cost of a window tint job. Don't buy your own film. I for one will not even consider putting on any film but what I offer!

    I've seen this on an older gm suv.  Grab a scrub pad and scrub it until it stops peeling then put on some vinyl protectant.

    CnCCustoms got a reaction from redneckj in Xpel.. great product, poor stock/customer service   
    So far it’s construction to me is great. And the customer service we’ve been given I have no doubts that “if” we have a failure it will be handled correctly. At the end of the day it performs great. Handles even better. And God forbid it has to be removed due to its adhesive. With the exception of global in my experience every other “big name” film fails and has their faults. We see llumar , 3m and suntek issues a lot come through the shop. And I’d find it hard to believe that all those issues with receipts testifying their origin were bait and switch jobs. No it doesn’t cooperate great with a plotter when your used to global lol. But other than setup switch. I love the film. And it added a great Ir ceramic to our lineup.
     
    added:  not trying to bash any other line. Just defending Xpel this far. Hope I don’t regret it in the future but I’m all but 100% confident that won’t be the case

    No they don’t. From common knowledge it’s a garware product. But it’s definitely not the same color nor the same adhesive as global. The adhesive is actually stronger and faster setting. And the color has a more blue grey color across the board. Regardless who makes it. It’s a rock solid film

    With everything law enforcement puts up with daily... I’d be overly cautious as well. Stfu. Answer their questions politely yes sir no ma’am. Go on about your day. It’s simple. But unfortunately this new generation isn’t raised to treat everyone with respect. If you’re gonna be a smart ass be prepared to be treated as such! I’ve been pulled over countless times over the years. Never once lost my cool or forgot my manners.... never had a gun drawn on me...

    CnCCustoms reacted to pbalentine in Decent affordable tint and tools to learn?   
    Those wanting to tint see the tools and think it looks fun and its a cheap start up.  You need tools often and theres much more that you need than tools. To learn on your own might take 3x longer than getting trained at a shop.  If you are looking for and easy business that wont frustrate you...you’re looking into the wrong trade.

    I don't respond to post like this normally, but I am seeing it all to often. I understand your not trying to, but this is a slap in the face to many here. You say your extremely determined to start a business? Just any business, or a tinting business? But your not willing to sacrifice and do what it takes to do it right. This is a major issue in our industry. I'm all for new up and coming people, but it needs to be viewed more seriously. Although I was young when I started, I was married, and took quite a big pay cut to go apprentice in a shop and learn the TRADE. In the beginning of our business we struggled for a good amount of years. We invested 10's of thousands of dollars upfront. Even 18 years later it it can be hard at times. So if you really want to enter the window film industry, put in the time and sacrifice to do it right. It's a trade just like any other. The only difference is it has no regulation for entrance. If you just want any business and tint looks like a easy one to jump into, you will be in for a rude awakening. I know some will not like this post, and say "don't worry people will just come to you for the redo's" but I don't believe that's the case. It is a thorn in the side of the window film industry.(automotive mostly).I'm not trying to be rude. I hope you do start in the tint life ,correctly, and thrive in it.

    All of this only gets WORSE when they start wanting to match the color of the rear factory glass.   Outside in is one thing, but inside out always makes them complain.  (Toyota yellow glass on the front doors is my biggest headache in this department  )

    CnCCustoms got a reaction from jh812 in Xpel tint, whose using it? Reviews   
    So far so good with it. Aggressive adhesive for me. Sometimes too aggressive lol. Certain vlts have a very blue hue to them that some mind some don’t. I mainly use the xr60blue for windshields and I absolutely love the film. Nothing compares in the heat rejection department.  Like any other film take the good with the bad but overall great company and great film (if you hand cut) lol @jh812

    Personally, I don't worry about things I can't control.  For example, the last time I looked at gas prices when filling up was probably 10+ years ago.  It goes up, it goes down...doesn't matter cause in the end I need it to drive so why worry about it.  In this case, there is always someone going to be doing what you do for cheaper.  Just make sure you offer better products, better installation, better customer service, etc to ensure you are winning over them.

    Our bay isn’t climate controlled. This summer I saw as High as 120 degrees in the shop. Past winter it was so cold that bottles of slip froze over night and actually had a beetle on day water froze between the glass and the film before I could squeegee it out. Film always stored laying flat. And I’ve got some bs rolls that I know are 10 years old.  Wouldn’t worry!

    I took @jh812 advice a while back and actually switch my whole shop over to global. Hated the ceramic line with my previous manny because of haze. So I never sold it. Since picking up global MAN!  60% of film sales is ceramic. Can’t go wrong with global.
