  1. I’ve been using vortex since it came out in the us ! Mainly 70% for windshields ! I’m on my 3rd roll now and I think it’s really high quality film, it is however really thick ! It takes awhile to shape it ! Seems like you have to hold the heat gun to the glass 3 times as long to get the film hot enough to keep bubbles to stay down ! I don’t think it’s very scratch resistant though ! A lot of my customers have told me they like it !
  2. I had this problem today actually ! I caught a piece of sand on my squeegee on the inside of the windshield while pushing out water ! Right down the middle !🤬😡🤬 ! Always have to wipe the blade down after and before every push on the inside ! I shape the outside dry shrink with a glove ! No scratches that way !
  3. Thanks for the info ! It must have been a different Tesla with a smaller back window
  4. Interesting brake light cut out , did you ask for that? Don’t ask for that ! looks like crap ! Lol 😆
  5. Don’t you love those peanuts on the dodge chargers ! Hey let’s make some crappy defroster lines that have bumps on them ! The old Lexus LS had them too ! Or how on brand new cars if you have to redo the back window the shine on the defroster lines goes away ! It’s like China made them !
  6. So I heard the new 2020 Tesla model 3 has a smaller back glass now ! I haven’t actually seen it though ! Is this true ? And what size is it now ?
  7. Wait wait ..... so your saying pinnacle is better than Llumar ?
  8. So who makes pinnacle window tint ! Why am I hearing about it for the first time now ? Anyone want to tell me how they like it !
  9. Solargard used to have a hands on class to teach people, I’m pretty sure they still have the classes going ! 1 instructor and 2 students per class ! It was like $500 for the class
  10. I agree with everyone else . This is the way dodge makes defroster lines ! Nothing wrong with the film or installation job ! If anything dodge needs to change the way they make the glass ! Some old Lexus have the Same problem .
  11. I agree with high plains on this one , spraying water removes the armor all that is put on new cars, and when a car gets detailed . This happens all the time and then spraying some kind of new armor all or protectant will make it look good again ! I call it shiny spray , have to spray a chemical that makes everything look shiny ! Of course !
  12. I pass on it as well ! I don’t want to stock 60 inch rolls in all the different shades ! Just for 1 car ! But if you are tinting them you should be charging a small fortune
  13. Nissan Murano is always really horrible to tint windshield ! I was using Solargard ultra performance film for the windshield, and that tint is literally the worst tint for shaping I’ve ever used ! The new vortex is great though !
  14. What’s with all these reps not calling people back ! I called and left a message with a 3m rep never got a call back , and same thing with Llumar . But Huper optic got right back to me ! Solargard calls me right back too. It’s nice having the tint wearhouse where you buy your film close by!
  15. I tried suntek, Huper optic, Llumar , solargard, and 3 m crystalline . Depends on how much you want to spend . I like the new solargard vortex but it’s pricey . For cheaper cost I don’t know what the best option is , but cheaper Llumar is good, supreme series solargard works ! Huper optic has a good cheaper option .
  16. I Top load , tape sides if needed , I’ve been doing top only for 15 years , works for me !
  17. Rainbow sushi roll ! From a few different places in San Diego ! Sushi ota , sushi deli 2 ! Doesn’t get much better
  18. Hahahaha , just kidding , I have no idea about the U.K.
  19. I don’t tint boats , what a pain ! Some of the hardest windows to shape the tint and get it to stick
