      Hey old timer... Glad you are still tinting the way you were taught back in the day, but sorry to break it to you but there was no "hack" in your video at all. This is how I still tint windows and the shop by buddy works at does as well. We were taught this way by his father who originally opened the tint shop... Ok maybe we use a utility knife and squeegee but essentially the same process.

  • @seanyoung5598
    @seanyoung5598 2 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Now i always extend my film beyond the window seals at the bottom usually by loosening the door panel to get the seal out the way and the reason is on a hot day if you dont take the film past the seals when you roll down the window the window seal will catch the film and it may crinkle it right off the window. Depending on how hot it is it will cause the film to loosen its adhesive quality allowing the seal edge to buckle the film or lift it entirely. Just thought I'd point that out as I saw you did not extend your film passed the bottom window seal.

      It is.. in fact I've even used less. I used a damn credit card and newspaper to dry because it never leaves lint AND it's cheaper! The guys that I went to school with that didn't have single parent homes got hand me down cars senior year or just after graduation wanted tints on their Caprice Classics or Datsun and Hyundai whatevers.. so we all went to a tint shop and got banged over the head for $100 or so. The biggest mistake was the guy allowed me in the shop to watch. I started tinting with the crudest tools known to man. I was averaging about a car a week that summer for pocket change or use of the car for a day or two. Until the NYPD started giving tickets or warnings provided that you peel your tint off the front windows right on the spot. Guess they thought it was easier than filling out a ticket. They clued in after they noticed they were pulling over the same cars a week later after I'd redone them. They were like "we know these kids ain't drug dealers riding around in Hyundai Excels with graduation tassels over the rear views so what gives?" They asked who was doing their tints and how much? By the end of that Summer I did damn near all of the personal cars in the three adjoining precincts and some unmarked take home cars for supervisors. They left my friends alone too which was a pretty nice side effect.

    Great Video... very helpful as I will be tinting some windshields for our fleet of trucks in our shop, buying a whole lot of 50% tint online was cheap, I know I got a spray bottle, license, a couple different blades... Ya'll make it look so easy though!
    I get very confused with different types of tint, I've seen some videos where guys peel the tint apart (2 layers), and some that just spray, stick, then apply heat, stretch, etc..
    I am trying to fix my windshield which was tinted beautifully at a local garage, after watching this video I feel like a dummie for paying and not doing it myself. A lot of folks get robbed blindly to get their cars tinted around here (NJ). It is illegal to have tinted windshields in NJ but EVERY other car on the road is tinted.. and way darker than 50%.
    The police only pull folks over if they are having a bad day or you are legitimately driving like a jerk (or are a jerk), then it's the automatic pull-over excuse "Pulled you over because your windows are tinted!" as an officer once said, while 20+ cars passed us on the road tinted even darker... he let me go with a warning. I apologized and told him I purchased my vehicle like this over 3 years ago and never had any issues... I was on the state boarder far away from home. Our local officers around here know everyone and don't seem to care.
    I like the 50% on my front 2 windows (driver/passenger sides) and especially my windshield's 50% as I commute versus the sun in the AM and again in the PM ride from and to work/home... the shop I got it done at did a great job, and did not mess up.. and they were fairly inexpensive compared to various "tint installers" around here. Unfortunately when I had to go to the NJ Inspection station as I was due to renew my window sticker, they forced me to cut my tint on my windshield (where the new inspection sticker would go).
    Our Inspection station's in NJ are so incredibly biased, prejudiced, etc. I was picked out of the line when I was 3 cars back. I drive a 2001 Chevy Blazer, the line at the DMV had 2 cars in front of me (newer BMW's, Audi, etc..) and 1-2 cars behind me with "factory tint" which was darker than my 50%.. yet they did not ask them to remove their tint or hassle them at all. I however, had to take my scraper (anticipating this nonsense they would pull). In NJ if you have your driver/passenger side windows tinted you simply just have to pull into the inspection station with your windows rolled down... they cannot ask you to roll your windows up anymore (no safety inspections anymore.. just emissions). If you pull in and they see tints on your front windows they used to FAIL you, or they would tell you to pull out of the station and come back in with your windows down... so go figure.
    My old inspection sticker was already removed when my vehicle was tinted so it was not stuck inside the windshield/tint. Even though I showed them and told them 2 years ago they didn't care, I still had to shave a 9x9 inch box on my damned windshield to place the new 5x5inch'sh sticker. I actually had it perfect (the size of the sticker) and they demanded I cut it more "so they could see".. I am not sure what else they wanted to see... sigh.
    Now I have a nice box cut into my tint on the driver's side windshield. I have measured the "void" and am ready to try to patch the tint hole. I know it won't look 100% perfect, but neither is my 2001 Blazer, I am just looking to safely take off my new inspection sticker, apply the tint, then stick the stupid sticker back on. The Inspection Station "Inspectors" claim that the sticker must be "visible" which is why you cannot have tint, regardless of that nonsense excuse (because you can clearly see the darned sticker 100% fine through the 50% tint).... I think I did a decent job removing the tint for the sticker... I could have been fancier, but I was in-line and getting yelled at to hurry up.
    Sorry about the rambling on here, but I hope that I can patch my little spot up, unless someone is really looking hard enough, they won't even notice, nor do I care. It's a shame because 98% of the whole windshield is still tinted perfectly, I just need to slap on a 9x9 inch square patch... wish me luck!

I can tint both fronts of that chevy pickup with no bullshit hacks the professional way faster then he just fooled you and made you believe you can tint. Theres real tinters on youtube that can teach you the right way. And practice will make perfect. But dont waste you time with this fool.

      Ralph Van Pelt I may be giving my age away here but when watching your video you made me ask the question, "How else can you tint a window?" The way you expertly placed the tint on that window is the only way I thought it can be done. Also, the auto parts store or the automotive section of Kmart was the only place we knew to buy tint. We didn't have internet to order anything or to learn anything and the tiny bit of instructions that came with the roll of tint didn't give very good directions back then. Trial and error. I remember the first tint job I ever did for myself, I think i bought enough tint to have done 3 cars between the dirt or wrinkles that would piss me off so I would rip it off and start over again. The only thing you have in your video that makes it easier than how we did it is, you are inside. We picked a calm day rushed to get a window done before a breeze and dust kicked up. None of us had a garage to go do tinting in. Way to go you do great work and thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    Aside from the exclusive use of the driver's license, this technique is literally the only way I have ever known window tinting to be done.
    Good job by the way. I liked and subscribed.

      Thank you. There are better ways to do this. Check out some of my other videos.

    This is how I have always done tint (with no proper tools lol) and the first couple tries weren't so great so I started playing with static cling to get the hang of things and squeezee out the water and get the lines right ....but I never took into account the quality of the tint and how easy or hard it makes the job, I usually used the auto parts store tint and it was always a bit difficult to cut and get those micro lines
