    Use filtered water in your bottle with the slip solution. Make sure you scrub every window throughly. Make sure you squeegee off every window correctly. Don’t wet the very top edge of any window, as it can pull dirt down. Wet film more than the glass you’re sticking it too. Spray both hands thoroughly before handling any film that’s had the release liner removed.

    Viktor reacted to shadytints in small white bubbles under tint, where did i go wrong?   
    the bubbles can be from many different issues from prep to water or airborne.
     
    Prep.   side windows I use stainless razor blades with a small plastic holder.  stainless you can use for days or even weeks and won't rust.  they let you "hear" the dirt or imperfections on the glass as you listen.  glass is not smooth and can have unoticed scratches or pits that will show when the film dries.  Bg's I use a white or blue scrubby pad,  the more aggressive ones can scratch the glass.  always squeegee sideways border to border overlapping to insure all debris is removed.  flush the sides where you can not squeegee  and rinse bottom of BG.  squeegeeing bottom of BG can make dirt fly up off rear deck.
     
    Solution.  if the water is bad the debris would be in all windows,  small fuel filter for lawn mower or filtered water cures this.
     
    airborne.  mist interior of vehicle to keep dust down on dirty cars,  dirt will come up off seats or from headliner as you crawl in and out.  wet floor to keep dust from flying up as you walk around vehicle,  if the car is dirty mist exterior as well.  I don't wash cars  LOL,  will rinse my solution off when i am done.   Garages and shops can be dirty and dusty.  I have been in some where it looked like it was snowing from all the dust flying around.  I purchased a few 20x20 box fans for $20 each.  I bought 20x20 HP4 furnace filters to put on the intake side.  I run the fan or fans while I cut and shrink,  turn them off to hang the film.  was really amazing how fast they cleaned the air and how fast the filters clogged up in the nasty shops.
     
    Attire.   Under armour or other lint free shirts help and keep you cooler and drier,  in the winter I put them over my normal shirt.  BDU's are water resistant and fairly lint free.  I used to buy 6 pair of jeans every 6 months,  BDU's last for years from local army surplus.  water prood shoes with no metal eyelets like merrell's cost a bit more but last and save your feet

    All plastic, won’t work well on really curved glass- so I’ll go to my yellow turbo for those. But on most big back glasses and windshields it does the trick.

    Me neither till I saw this one At Home Depot a few months back, think it was originally 12 inches, I cut it down to 7-8. 
    I wish it was a bit more flexible but I don’t have to worry about scratching something, so that’s a plus.

    In the past, I’ve had a yellow turbo cut pretty long for cleaning back glasses. Recently, I cut down a Chanel squeegee to about 7 inches long and use that. The fewer passes cleaning the better, but you don’t want it so long that the squeegee can’t conform with the curve of the window. The last pass on the bottom edge I will use a 12 in black-n-white, cut at an angle.

    Clean with 409 using the white synthetic steel wool pad on the handled scrubber, up and down, then side to side, saves your back. Extra attention to cleaning the edges, then making it all dry. Spray and squeegee once with regular slip, dry again. Start your installs clean and dry to keep dirt from getting in thru any dirty moisture that may have remained.
