@@rudycaruso4757 That process is only to prep the size and shape of the tint to match the window. Then, the glass is cleaned and tint installed inside.
I use the Olfa Red Dot knife. I order that and replacement blades direct from my tint supplier but you can find them online pretty easily. They are 9mm stainless steel break away. ( AB-50s )
No particular reason. It was a sample roll that we received when I was just starting and only lasted a few projects. Then a while later I ordered more and happened to come across SunTek online.
Best practice is to run the heat guns on highest setting they can go. This one in particular I think is rated at 1200 degree. Just be sure to stay moving or the tint will over shrink / burn.
Place tint on the outside of the quarter glass that is larger than the matrix line. Can use the cut off section from front door if cut properly. Place a light on the inside of the car shining out through the quarter glass. Now there is a visual pattern you can trace with a sharpie or cut with your blade a little larger than the pattern the light shines through. Now you have tint that can be applied to inside. Important note, the clear release liner needs to be facing out towards you when placing that tint on outside before tracing.
@@mohamedchreidi3940 For the Mustang, a 40” roll is going to allow you to cover the full back window. Instead of a bulk 100’ however I’d look for a 25’ length roll by 40” wide. That will give you some extra incase a window needs a couple tries to complete.
Not a tint product, but it works well to prep for a dry shrink method. It’s the household clothes dryer sheets for fabric softening. Bounty is the brand name I was referring to.
Just what I was looking for wish me luck
@@cosimocatanese7941 You got it!
Man thank you for this!!
Right on! Hope it brought some value. Good luck 😎
Hi! Great job! May I ask what shade level did you use on windshield? Thanks
Hey. Thanks. This one was a light 50% film which is more than plenty in my opinion.
If I want to do this at home can I just use some dish soap and water or does it need to be a certain type of soap?
I personally have used Johnson’s baby shampoo for a long time. You should be fine with a standard dish soap as well tho.
Why are you tinting the windows from the exterior?

Where did you get the racing stripe from and what is it called?
Hey! Can’t give much help, sorry. I was installing the tint but owner of the car had the stripe address prior to me working on it.
Where did you buy all your blades from?
I use the Olfa Red Dot knife. I order that and replacement blades direct from my tint supplier but you can find them online pretty easily. They are 9mm stainless steel break away. ( AB-50s )
Why dont u use tesla tint
Hmm. Please elaborate a little more..
Why did you stop using Solar Guard?
No particular reason. It was a sample roll that we received when I was just starting and only lasted a few projects. Then a while later I ordered more and happened to come across SunTek online.
What’s the setting on that heat gun?
Best practice is to run the heat guns on highest setting they can go. This one in particular I think is rated at 1200 degree.

What soap are you using and what window film ?
Started with SolarGard long ago but have been using SunTek StdPro now for years.

Other than special projects, all of my stock rolls in carbon and ceramic are bulk 40”x100’

That’s commercial sizes anyway. Not sure how the alternate parts store Gila rolls come.
@@TunersCanvas I’m looking at motoshield pro, so would 30in x 5 ft be good?
