Anyone here try the Stainless Amazon basic blades?  $8 ish for 100 blades.

Just a FYI to all of you.  If any of your customers come back with a crack originating from the bottom near the middle area.  Tesla will normally replace the window under warranty.  It's a known issue with these cars.  Probably from the large window not being able to flex enough.

I would ask if he wanted to chrome delete since the car is already in there and cut him a deal.  Might be faster because getting replacement parts from Tesla is a huge pain because their parts are usually back-ordered.  Of course you have to offer the service in the first place.

Ask for more even if you are willing to settle for less.  Be confident and don't short yourself.

Easier to get I would assume.

We sell b-grade film at about half of the typical price.  I'd highly suggest attending a training course before wasting any more money on film though.

How do I go about getting said product?  Also I checked the website.  Do you guys ever do training in other locations?  Any suggestions for California?

I'm starting to venture into PPFs now.  I've been using Xpel from 44tools and it's costing me way to much from a starting point.  Any pointers to where to get some supplies?  Any schools or training in the SF Bay Area that offers classes?  I'm probably wasting more material and time than I need to.

Anyone doing the windshield need to pay close attention to the electronics. There is actually a circuit board that will fry if you let water drain down there.  Make sure you use a microfiber rope.

Tagged for when i'm ready to buy a plotter.  I'd like that referral.

Sent you a message. Thanks

There are actually a few vids showing the back window.  Does not look too hard. Just take your time and do it!

Here's two of the best vids showing shrinking and also a install.

Go to Commonwealth, Saint Gobain, Matrix Films, Reflek Technologies, Sharpline Converting. Those are real manufactures of PPF. You will find the good deal with them. Xpel just resell.

Good to know.

I'm starting to venture into PPF installs.  Looks like most people use tack solutions only at the edges?

Have any of them been ceramic coated? It's becoming more of a thing and film won't bond

 

Out of every soap I've used so far for slip... Dawn and Fusion All Type have been my personal favourites. Some guys don't like Dawn because it tends to bond quicker I guess. Every time I play with baby wash or baby shampoo I just get irritated.

So Fusion All Type works good with PPF also.. good to know.

Yelp are run by a bunch of blackmail artist.

How was the front windows?  I did two and sliding it in there gets tough... however I'm getting better!

We switched back to madico this past late year, we use both NR and Ceramic Black Pearl,  Shrinks great, dries quick and its not very cloudy or hazy. The clarity is great and i just wish it wasnt  "green" but its very little, nothing compared to suntek or any other green ceramic out there. There are many companies out there that are popular especially on the forums and facebook groups that whore themselves out. My business is almost 40 years old and we've always used madico until they came out with they're charcool lines is when we stopped it was just way to green and onyx way too blue. We've never ever had issues with Madico with automotive, or flat glass, everything lasts! Even theyre old school AG Dyed films that coudnt shrink lol . When they' came out with Madico Blackpearl and worked with it i made the switch, i rather put my name on something that i know will stand behind they're product, proven that lasts over 20-30 years at least! No other company comes close! Not even global as they' have not been around as long but not bashing global just comparing. .02

Thanks for the heads up! Will give it a try.

Anyone here heard of Madico Black pearl ceramic tint?  If so is it any good?

Can this stuff be pre-mixed and left to sit for a while? Thinking of getting a gallon of distilled water and pre-mixing some.
