Why do people's panties get all wadded up if someone asks a question even if it's been asked before?
At some forums they encourage asking because things change over time.
At other forums, God forbid you ask something that's been answered before.....it sends the simpletons into wild hysteria.
Asking is human nature. So maybe I could have spent more time researching.....screw that. I did about 10 minutes searching before I asked and I felt that was enough of my time spent searching and if someone helpful cared to assist then I would get a more precise answer AND end the searching.
Thank GOD for people who don't mind helping someone along their journey.

Don't use windex for slip. instead use Joy Non-Ultra or Dawn Simple Clean at the rate of 1 oz per gallon (or 8mls per liter) for slip. You can also use the same slip to clean the glass before install.

Not deserved
If you can't handle the fact that you didn't search this site well enough before you started sounding like someone "trolling the pros" or sounding like some newbie installer who won't listen to the proper advise being given and just starts throwing out random, dumb sounding questions... then we can't help you.
Try just a little harder on your search on here, not Google, and I am 100% sure you will find all of these questions answered.

Or to be on the safe side, just use straight water. That way there is nothing to make any film go bad. It should stick just fine with straight water.

HardyHarHar got a reaction from Tintmaster08 in Is 5% tint on the windshield reasonable?
Let's end the guessing and nonsense right here.
You are not allowed to use 15%, 35% or even Clear tint on the entire front windshield.
In fact, it's not even legal WITH a medical exemption in Florida. In fact, NO TINT is allowed on the front windshield in Florida EXCEPT a strip at the top.
Now you know.

HardyHarHar reacted to Sunbreakers in Is 5% tint on the windshield reasonable?
Lol! This doesn’t help your argument. Your highlighted text contains the word “exemption” which means that something ILLEGAL is allowed for a very small segment of the population based on medical issues. Exempt and legal are two different concepts. So what your initial comment should have been is my windshield is darker than legal in the state of Florida because I somehow got an exemption instead of it is legal to have blah blah because I am awesome.

HardyHarHar got a reaction from quality tintz in Calculating final tint after tinting over factory tint
Thanks,
I know it won't be Limo dark but that's ok.
I decided 30% laid over factory would probably be the best compromise.
Did some more thinking and going too dark might make it a bit difficult to see out at night, for me anyway
I guess it's not that easy to see inside now except in the brightest sun light because the fronts are 20% so the 30% over factory in the back should do.
Plus the possibility of attracting LEO the darker it gets.
No big deal to change it later if I want to.

HardyHarHar got a reaction from quality tintz in Hair in window tint...
Hello,
I realize this is an ancient thread.....but I was working on tint this morning (June 19, 2018) and Googled Hair in Tint and this thread came up.
So may I add......
Before tinting, I first clean and vacuum the car in question especially around the window openings.
Then I make sure my clothing is loose hair free....arms and hands too.
lastly, I spray around the window with water putting down a mist for about 12 inches around. it seems to help keep hair from getting attracted by static.
2 cents
But the experts have the last word, of course
