    bpbv6-6 got a reaction from CaliTINT in new to tinting, how to work on difficult vehicles?   
    are you guys familiar with 2006 accord sedan rear pass door small windows?  I had issues today...I didnt know how to tuck into such tight sprace, so othter tinters suggested to cut as far as I can to that window and tuck a bit. The thing is, I also cant reach up into the very narrow part of that rear tiny door window. My contour card wont do it so I have bubbles. Also what is the cause of small white pinholes in the tint after being applied? is that a case of not cleaning all the dust off?

    You really just have to get your feet wet. As a (learning) tinter, you are going to come across lots of vehicles that take a different approach to it. You need to be resourceful, think outside the box, analyze and execute certain techniques. Also with cars you aren't sure of, just simply look it up on this forum and/or on youtube. Usually someone has discussed it or made a video on it. 
     
    Hell I was working on a car today that I have done plenty of (but not enough of them lately). I kinda forgot my procedure on it and ended up redoing the back window 3 times before getting it right. In the end, I just analyzed the glass, etc. and came up with a solution. Also checked up on the forums for tips and its done.

    You may want to do a few freebies for practice at your own expense, your questions don't sound like you'll do a high quality job but it's good that's what you're working towards. As far as afraid of new customers, this means you should be an employee and not a business owner until you are comfortable.
    Watch youtube videos until you get that training. Search on youtube for users like Tintstuff, Rob Forbes, Rodney McClure, Window Tinting Business, Becomeawindowtinter.com, and my favorite because he's a good example of fast and furious tint without the bs Window Tint Warriors.
    I've never taken a back window off, please elaborate on that.

    There is a wealth of info on this topic in many different threads as well as YouTube. You will need to navigate these particulars. If I have to step by step explain and answer your particular questions, there will be a service charge
    Why would you take off a rear window? You have the training down? Did they train you to take off the rear window? How did that go? I am curious because I have never done that. Been doing this a while and would love to learn a new technique. Thank you

    Carry two olfa knives in your pouch. One for cutting doors. One for ONLY cutting back windows or 1/4 windows. Mark the one that you use for back windows only (I have a small piece of black vinyl on mine). The reason for  this is every time you cut the top edge of a door glass, your blade will get dulled. So if you use that same blade on the back window, even if it’s freshly snapped there’s still a chance you’ll score the glass. And that’s no bueno. Using the marked knife will guarantee the blade is the sharpest it can be because it’ll be fresh from tip to end. But make sure to still snap it every time you lift it off the glass to cut a different edge(that’s what I do anyway).

    thank you for honest answers all of you. I do enjoy everything from detailing, tinting, to anything that relates with cars. I have decided to go with the PDR for now because the boss had me come in for hands on experience and I learned alot during the two hours, it didnt even feel like work. I enjoyed it so much because at the same time you learn to use diff stages of polish, wax so almost similar to detailing auto body. I actually accepted both jobs part time each right now so I can learn more detailing from the dealership and I can implement that all into my work later on.
