@jaredmontoya6254 I don't let them bother me lol and I'm glad the video helped! Thanks for watching! Let us know how your job goes.

@@SammyChon that's awesome! I'm glad you got it!

@Clarkeisawesome that's why I used the torch, to make the tint stick faster. Take it to a professional shop and you shouldn't have any problems with that. Thanks for watching!

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Thank you!

@@Clarkeisawesome no problem! Have a great day

@glennturner2703 I'm guessing it's because that's how I learned lol I've seen franky done successfully in person but I just feel like I'd drag the tint across everything trying to get it in the car. 😅🤣

@thewongster99 fusion after burn tape, sundistributingdirect.com it keeps you from burning yourself or others with the tip since it gets so hot. With the tape, it will still get hot but it's much safer. Highly recommend, I put it on every heat gun before it even gets plugged in.

@Ryanr2789 best way to do it is either use a sharpie and trace the highest up defrost line then slide your film up, repeat as necessary. Or if you have a big enough scrap piece of clear liner, you can stick it on the inside and use a sharpie to trace out your pattern, then place that on your new tint and cut it. Times like these are why I love having a plotter.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Thank you! Do you use Helios orbit that often?

@Ryanr2789 I don't use orbit at all anymore, it used to be my biggest seller. All I sell is carbon (nova) and ceramic (super nova) these days.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 seems like dyed film is a thing of the past.

@Ryanr2789 it got to be basically the same price as the carbon and I couldn't justify charging carbon prices for a product that just looks good when you can get a carbon based film that blocks more heat and can't fade. My 4runner has orbit on it from 2019 and sits outside all day everyday and has yet to fade but not all dyed films are created equal.

@DY-Hak1 just depends on how well you can heat shrink. Normally a hatchback has more aggressive curves to the back window but at least you don't have to squeeze yourself in a back seat and try to get the film in without touching anything lol.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 I agree!

@kennyb.729 thank you for watching. I think heat shrinking back windows and windshields was the toughest part of learning to tint for me. Practice practice practice lol.

​@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Yeah I've been tinting for a few years... Only my cars, or friends and family!! Lexen tint can be challenging on certain cars too but I'm pretty good for a novice!! Thanks for the tips!!

How odd, the first time I did one of these I was surprised on how easy it was. I did 3-4 more that same month and I was so pleased that I could get that rear window done in like 25 mins

@diegol1208 I don't think these ones are too difficult to shrink but I know a lot of newer tinters tend to struggle with hatchbacks.

@RafaelSantos-qn7gk thank you for watching!

@@Chuy-wg4ve I always run it just below the seal/gasket so there are no light gaps when the window is all the way up.

@@msarte5661 what is it then

Look at yourself, apparently you’re too stupid to figure it out! You just want viewers.

@@truckerswanriptj147 you have to be kidding. 🤣

@seriousproductionz1 sundistributingdirect.com search "rewind 2 raw" you'll find it. The iso mix is just some super heavy duty alcohol that I cut down with at least 50% water and only use it on the outside glass. You can use regular old rubbing alcohol from the pharmacy or Walmart or whatever just the same. It produces a really nice streak free finish.

@seriousproductionz1 thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! I've definitely been in your shoes! Good luck, may the tint God's be with you!

Great video! Is that Helios film?

@@Ryanr2789 it sure is

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 for a factory match which line do you use ?

@@rolandosantisteban3754 thanks for watching! I'm glad I could help!

@guitarstalkandtech9085 I really appreciate it! It definitely took me a lot of time, dedication and tons of mistakes to get where I am.

@MATAMOROS3000 just depends on the vehicle and how you distribute the film. It's not a bad idea to shrink the bottom though good for good measure.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Thanks!!

@@Ryanr2789 it definitely was not fun at all. Lol

I think you just open the handle to basically say that the door it now open

@@starrun13 so I did some thing and I felt kind of dumb I’ve had my challenger for two years and this has happened on its own… you just roll it down

Some cars you have to pull the handle and then use something to flip the latch back. I can't remember if this is one of those or not. Though I'm sure you figured it out by now.

@skouria3135 for over 7 years I hand cut everything. A couple of months ago, I bought a plotter and now I only hand cut when I have to.

@skouria3135 for example, the software didn't have this particular windshield for this particular model, so I had to hand cut the windshield, but I plotted out the doors.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 I only ask because I’ve been hand cutting for roughly 2 years now. And I’ve been wanting to get a plotter but I just don’t know if it’s worth it. I’ve had a buddy of mine plot me patterns when I do some mobile work just for the ease, and I can knock out a f-150 in 30 minutes. So it would definitely save me time I just, idk I’m on the fence about getting one lol

@skouria3135 In most cases, I can hand cut faster than the plotter, especially when you factor the time to load the tint, find the patterns, cut them, weed them, etc. However! Where I feel like it's worth having is because I can set it to cut, then go do something else like pull the sweeps or clean the glass or whatever else I need to do. Plus doing vehicles with those vent shades can be tricky when you hand cut so plotting those makes it way easier. Trucks with bed covers or headache racks, etc, same deal. Way easier to just click cut and be done rather than trying to trace a liner on the inside or whatever. If you have the money, definitely get one, you'll thank me later. Lol

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 well, I know the plotter is new to you but at this point which do you prefer?

@ColeyJack8590 Absolutely! Is evolve carbon or ceramic?

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 ceramic

@@Soupraaaaaa because it looks better that way. Once you do it a few times, it takes less than 5 minutes to take all that stuff off.

@@brauliofernandez7167 plotter cut.

@brandonschoolfield5496 wrong. Plotted

@brandonschoolfield5496 i could have. Not everyone wants the strip down to the camera though. I give my customers what they ask for. Unfortunately, that doesn't always please the internet. Lol

@thesouthernlife4061 yeah they do have a great product!

@eliterrell9532 I'm sorry you feel that way. The unfortunate truth from being active in multiple window tint groups on social media is that most people start out thinking they are going to save money by doing it themselves. I'm not bashing anyone, or trying to discourage them. Quite the opposite. If you want to be successful, you need to have a plan.

Its funny because a person can save money doing it diy. Easily under the price point you have set. Less than $100 buying all supplies from walmart with a decent tint job understanding price saving comes with a bit of sacrifice in tint/install quality. As far as a person starting a tint business, it all stems from the same feelings of lack of customer service, or lack or availability to get a service in a timely manner. Maybe not all your content is this bad but a person can definitely tint the windows on their own vehicle cheaper with good results. Recently bought a precut tint from ebay for less than $50. With a sprayer and a few small hand tools that i had laying around and my windows turned out great. Tools of the trade are to make our jobs easier we invest in them because we do this day in and day out, a diy one job does not need to invest 300 plus just to tint their own windows

Absolutely! That's why I started doing it this way lol. I know they can be done by just pulling but I would rather take a couple extra seconds and make sure I don't break anything.

@@seriousproductionz1 thank you! I really appreciate it!

@andreharvey6572 you have no idea how much that means to me! Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 it’s the truth brother. I gotta salute you and give you your flowers while you’re here man. You do these videos so effortlessly. Your channel should have millions of subscribers man. I’ve been tinting for about a year and came across your channel. You have definitely helped me a ton. I struggle with back windows but watching your vids has given me a ton of confidence. Keep up the great work brother!!

@@andreharvey6572 🫡 you are the real MVP!

@guystuff_tv well, lexens top of the line ceramic wasn't terrible, especially for a budget friendly option. Their cheaper lines, I was not impressed with. I say was because they sold out and are now TintX or something like that. Some say the film is worse now, some say it's better now, I have no clue.

@bt-xv1fy flex film is the only one on that list that I would stay away from. They have a couple of lines that seem to always have "bad batches". The other brands are solid though. Take your pick really.

@buvro thank-you for watching!

@@amerone8590 you can. Personally I find that more difficult

@mayrondelacruzperez5893 thank you!

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 have you ever donde a Volkswagen GTi 2017 front quarter windows?

@mayrondelacruzperez5893 I have not. Thankfully VWs are not very popular in my area. I've done some jettas and a couple of Beetles, but thankfully, not that body style golf lol.

Ummm ok my uncle just bought one but the front quarter window you just can’t take it oof unless you removed it completely from the glue.😅 and we already know the results the easier way 😂😂😂

@mayrondelacruzperez5893 I think that's the body style some guys remove the a pillar trim to get better access

@@JBIRD575 only way I ever use a chizzler. Scratched a few too many windows to not wrap them up. Lol

@davidcross5455 thanks man! The trash can is from the particular company that I used. Who later sold to another company. But I'm just outside of Zanesville. Thank you for the kind words!

@mayrondelacruzperez5893 I find myself bottom loading every chance I get now. Most cars it takes less than 2 minutes to pull the sweeps so I'd much rather do that than fight the film or touching up side creases/pinches.

@bt-xv1fy definitely not the window I would want to start out on that's for sure. Good job for getting it done though!

@@jamesdash1906 me too. But when the money is right.... 💰 I keep telling myself I'm young. Lol

A grandmaster huh? Never heard of it.

@@Yooisam I've got a few different lights I use. You can find what I use or very similar ones on Amazon

@docneato I've been doing this since 2018, both TH-cam and window tint... It's not my first rodeo, lol. I've seen so many bad tint jobs, I know how these windows turn out when you don't pull them. Having only one door apart at a time is a very good strategy, and that is also what I do on cars I'm not as familiar with.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 I first trained in 2016 then worked in a high end shop for a year, did it on my own for a while once I made it through the hell of learning it. Just did my 8th practice car and shaking off 6 years of rust now lol. It’s incredible having a trained eye and realizing how much quality is left to be desired by some tint jobs. Also being a natural perfectionist I’m hooked on reaching that level of skill and efficiency again. That makes sense though! Since I don’t work in a shop and get repeating cars anymore I don’t think I’ll ever trust myself to have both sides apart at once though 😅

@docneato I'm glad to hear you ate back at it. The industry needs more of us perfectionist!

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 yessir. I’m sure you’ll hear back from me for some kind of advice in the future!

@@docneato I reply to every comment... Unless it's in a foreign language or obvious spam. Lol
