Tint Slayer

so much rain

I like the Blue Little Foot a lot, i just ordered the Red and Black Little Foot to check them out, on youtube i've seen people using the Red on the film side, was wondering if the hardness of the Black will scratch the film. What are you using the Black for? 

Having great luck with Impact's Jr Pump Up, no issues and i drop it left and right. Also have a couple of the older 32oz Spraymaster to keep a bottle of extra slip or cleaner on hand.

Eating pizza and working 

I've had 3 vasectomies, gf says she thinks shes pregnant. Praying she cheated.

It's almost like stupid McDonalds double cheeburger for a buck.back in the day it was bigger and had two slices if cheese..now for a buck you get a mcdouble ..much smaller and only one slice of cheese. .that made a profit in the millions!!!
Same with film..we used to use mmm back In late 80,s early 90,s..turned purple and peeled rather quickly..then switched to "cortould" TI..Lulu back then..then switched to suntek during 2004 sema show. But noticed quality went down after while. .back then Global was a no no..some say ..like I did. Purple out the box....but now technology and science changed..like with cell phones.
So one always rises above another. That's just the way it is.
Look at the "old" sun guard , went under. ..and the new sunguard. Same with Protect Guard, and xsun..

People should be more focused on where the contents of that Big Mac comes from rather than their film lol.

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks, and you guys seem like the best to help me make a informed decision. I'm looking at two businesses which sell two different brands of tint. Solar FX and Rayno Phantom Series. The business w/ the Rayno claims they are all ceramic w/ 3 levels of protection. I'm assuming that is S5,7, & 9. 

 

The Solar FX is  Carbon (non ceramic) and Ceramic. Which do you guys prefer? The Solar FX is a little more pricier. 

 

This is going on a 2008 Mazda Miata Brilliant Black w/black spoke wheels. 

 

Thanks!

SolarFX, love the way their CarbonFX looks and it's clarity, they have an IRFX film made similar to CarbonFX but added heat rejection, they also have a ceramic product called FXextreme2. Zero complaints from customers or myself on SolarFX.

Looks like a lot of unnecessary steps and one hell of a way to sratch the bottom section.@Ryker said best. 19yrs and asking Qs like you just started. Im just wondering which of you guys actually make a living NOT A SIDE JOB. Your cant be pro if all you is side work.

You're like that negative black cloud dude in the shop that likes to make things suck for everybody with useless condescending comments. You also have a bizarre obsession with people's experience.

This gasket shield of my set is 28in long and just fit a big caddy door and makes it very nice to slide the film in and keeps the whole felty/dirty seals away to keep the bottom edge clean and the lower seal stays dry so water wont make a finger and i dont use the heatgun on very many doorglass other than a occasional side crease(rushing to fast?) to iron out from the inside

 

I dont really like the 1/2 ones and have to slide them across to feed the film because you could scratch the top of the door panel on some auto and or maybe rip the film

 

They make almost any honda/subaru/nissan/toyota(loose seals)and most US cars a breeze for bottom loading and no panel of seal removal

 

 

Are the smaller ones something you can use on tight sides? A little one at the top or middle could probably push the whole glass away from contact point beyond 1/8 in. Just a thought, I think i'm going to get the gasket wizard. Those are the ones you made yourself?

Is that some SolarFX CarbonFX?

 

If I did the job it most certainly would be and looking sweet! That's @OverLord 's awesome work

Civic hatch 

Nothing quite like tint on a black car

I think i can live off of pizza

Is this the real life?

I get them on Amazon -

I'm wondering about just using these alone instead of 000 steel wool or ScotchBrite pads, the 7445 white scotchbrite pad is similar to 0000 steel wool.

Anybody use this synthetic steel wool instead of steel wool? Will not shred. splinter or rust, rinse and reuse. They also fit perfect on the end of The Scrubber.

Interstate 10 not far from family 

Is that the lane in the other direction under water?

Anybody make one of these on their own? The cornelius keg itself can be found pretty cheap and it has fairly basic attachments (air valve, hose), anyone give it a shot?

Just presenting another option for mobile...

Anyone got one of these?

Runs for 20 minutes on a battery that size i believe.

Note that inverter generators are quieter than regular generators, which is why those quiet 2000 watt hondas are pricey. This is the link to the one i got that is 3500watts (surges up to 4000watts), not as quiet as those 2000watt inverter hondas but for $300 you can't go wrong. It's 100 pounds and i can one man it everywhere - http://a.co/ihnt5RR 

Have you considered batteries? Watts/Volts=Amps, so if you had a 1200 watt item you wanted to run non-stop for 1 hour you would calculate 1200w/12v=100 amps draw. So if you bought a 2000watt invertor (plugs to batteries and has the ac outlet) and a 100ah battery, you'll get an hour, but any battery you're charging and discharging this way should not go below 50% charge, so you would need 2 of these at 200ah total for that one hour. Or any amount or size of batteries that equal the 200amps, but that's just for a continuous hour. If silence is key. Depends on your needs and how important silence is. 

If your vehicle has a 100amp alternator you can rig them to get charged while you drive.

2000watt invertor - https://www.harborfreight.com/2000-watt-continuous4000-watt-peak-power-inverter-63429.html 

Battery for 1 hour at 1200watts after being charged (you'd need 200ah and not run under 50% discharge) -  http://a.co/cDOLYWX 

Also, they sell dc invertors that hook up to your vehicle, some plug into car lighters but for a heat gun I'd want one that clamps to the car battery while It a running. 

If you have a 1200 watt heat gun you need a 2000 watt generator. The 2000 watt Honda previously shown is a good idea becasue its quiet but its not cheap, but if noise is not an issue i hav'e a 3500 watt that i got for $280 on Amazon. Powers my house in a blackout (except water heater). 

The mobile dent repair is the most unique so i would take that, the other stuff you can learn on the side a little easier. You can later on do the dent thing on the side and work at the other places and learn it all and have a place that does it all. My 2 cents.

Sounds like you got this customer. 

HAHAHA "i'd like a negative 15, i heard that on the internet" LOL 

On Spotify I search "Sirius" and scroll down to Playlists section (click See all playlists), there are a bunch of playlists made to be like each music channel on satellite radio except it's not the same loop of songs every day for the past decade. I pick one of the Sirius Lithium or Sirius Octane playlists, some days it Sirius New Wave, other days it's Sirius Chill, BPM, Backspin... Check the playlists out, you'll play them or do a radio off of them.
