It seems time there’s quite a bit of untested tint hitting the market with people saying this is the tint to buy . Like Lexen . Hasn’t been around long enough to know how it will last . I’ve seen how long SOLARGARD tint lasts over 10 years in the heat . But if your in a cold climate seems like most of it lasts .

Before I start let me say I don’t want to hear anything about the brand global I know you guys are waiting to jump on this ! NO ! best recommendation for 35% tint in a non high end film . I normally use SOLARGARD supreme series and xenith ceramic for my high end . But I need a 35 % in a lower end tint for regular customers . And I don’t like SOLARGARD galaxie it looks purple from the inside . And charcoal is crap . So what brand would you recommend ? besides global !

I would bet money this vehicle your talking about is a dodge charger . They get peanuts more than any other vehicle . Lumps in the defroster lines .

I agree it needs to dry out . Some heat will help. Did you use a microfiber rope at the bottom of the windshield when you installled . You should be doing that . Huge lifesaver . Especially for vehicles like the early Tesla model 3’s that had no protection for water under the windshield on the inside .

I use Solargard , I use supreme and I use xenith Ir . The new xenith is much improved over the ceramic films that were made before it . Vortex and ultra performance don’t shape much at all . I could spend all day trying to shape those films . Especially ultra performance . So glad they aren’t trying to push that anymore . I only wish they would make a xenith film darker than 15% .

Well if they ask you do the windshield it’s really difficult . And you need an extra large roll size like 48 inches . And the if they want the windows above the wing doors done as well that should be factored into price . Not all that much fun.

Tinted the windows on a ram trx today . Supposedly the only 1 currently In San Diego . 700 horse power of fun. I used Solargard xenith ceramic film . 15% all around

This is a tough one . But all glass is tempered . Meaning they are not supposed to scratch easily . I can’t imagine how a Tinter could possibly have made all those scratches . Are there any micro scratches in the middle of the glass or the top of the glass? And the damage to the side of the glass is weird ! How would someone damage that . I mean I just run my razor across the sides as smooth as silk . No pressure , just smooth . All glass should be well tempered , but sometimes a piece of glass is barely tempered at all and the glass can be scratched easily . This is mostly the case on American made cars , and exotics . I’m not taking the Tinter side . If he did do that he must be a completely new Tinter

That’s not good , I just had to turn someone down with a Lexus nx for the same reason . Just the 2 front windows

No there is not ! But if your worried about it roll the window down and look for the edge of where the clear uv coating would be

I’ve had this happen to me many times , even for the 2 front windows where the customer has it all off and claims it started peeling so I would redo it for free , when the customer obviously got a fix it ticket

I tinted one of these last week . No felt needed . And I had no issues . The felt problem was more for older Mercedes . IMO . This is not a car to worry about .

As soon as any one asks about tint brands all the global guys chime in ! Like free advertising ! Top brands imo are Llumar , Huper optic , Solargard . 3m crystalline !

Also is it a fat scratch or a fine razor blade scratch? Also tinters cut the outline Around the outside of the window , so if the scratch was in the middle of the glass the tinter would have absolutely no reason to use a razor on the middle of the glass . Only around the edges of the glass . So I would say if it’s in the middle of the back window it’s not the tinter , but if it’s a side window it’s a different story .

The cars with the bumpiest defroster lines get peanuts , like the Dodge Charger is really bad , old Lexus models get them bad, etc . It wastes a lot time getting them to stay down . I especially dislike when it’s the bottom defroster lines . Some cars are just made like crap .
