The share to the partner for leads
LeadfootCJ7 replied to Basil's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
As said above. They should want to refer to someone who does high quality work so it doesn't look bad on them. Giving them a discount so they can charge the customer 100% (or maybe even more) seems like a bad idea. Plus, what if they start offering the customer discounts and want you to take even less? What if the customer is being difficult and doesn't like the film and this "partner" makes you redo it for free? I wouldn't want to go down this road with anyone. -

Wow, that's crazy. I wonder if they got a bad batch of glass. Is this a model you have tinted before?

Haze after Llumar IRX install

Exactly. Much like most polarized sunglasses make it impossible or hard to see heads up displays. If I use sunglasses that allow me to see the heads up display I don't get this effect with the window film. -

Mercedes has a glass option for sound insulating glass as I recall. I've heard it can give a gold colorshift look. I presume this is similar. On the Mercedes the coating is on the outside so any tint on the inside of the windows won't help.

That's crazy. I presume that is the factory privacy glass doing it?

Figuring out tint % needed
LeadfootCJ7 replied to Antwan's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
This thread below goes over this topic some. I don't know how dark your factory glass is. I think that changes from glass to glass so it may be hard to pin down. Your calculation is correct though. .70x.40 assuming that 70% is correct for the glass. -
What's a general cost for a tint job?
LeadfootCJ7 replied to daines13's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
A friend of mine that has done tint for 25+ years used to do a good amount of vehicles for dealers. They kept trying to get him to lower his prices lower and lower. He went and looked at some of their window stickers while waiting once and saw how much they were charging and immediately stopped doing work for them. IIRC they were charging 4x what they paid him or a little more. I am sure this varies for many reasons and that was about 10 years ago. -
Customer providing the tint
LeadfootCJ7 replied to titothedon15's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Is there a reason that they want to provide the tint?
