Thank you for explaining the level of tinting depending on the widow pane making. I did a double size mirror film to a 1950 door with small window type. Came up pretty good.
That's a great question. There are several film brands all offering their own features and benefits. It truly comes down to personal preference. Our suggestion would be to get some samples from multiple companies and play around with them until you find one that you enjoy installing and can stand behind the product.
In the video we are using a Tru Spray airless tank set-up. There are several other companies and options such as backpacks, tint kegs that are pressurized. Really comes down to personal preference. 💜
yes absolutely, just make sure the glass cleaner does not have ammonia in it as the ammonia may damage the tint with long time usage. Sprayaway glass cleaner is a great one and available just about everywhere (supermarkets, home depot, etc)
1000% Great observation. In this case it was a demo glass so we wanted to highlight doing an install without removing anything. Keeping it simple 😉. But agreed, when and where you can remove seals it will always give the best final result!
We call it a reverse roll. Sometimes looks like a magic trick. But once you roll it up and do the ''Drop'' the liner ends up on the backside of the film, and the adhesive side is then exposed to the glass.
Does this solar film go on the outsdie of the glass? If not, why is it mirrored on the non-adhesive side? Seems odd to have film on the interior of a window that's mirrored inward.
This film goes on the interior, but the mirror effect will be seen on the side of the stronger light source ... so during the day, thats the sun, so the mirror effect is on the outside, giving the people inside privacy At night however, when the lights are on inside, and it is dark outside, it will work the opposite way, with the mirror being on the inside, and someone outside being able to clearly see in. It works the same way when you see a high rise building that during the day looks like a mirror, but at night, you can see into any offices that have the lights on.
Dawn is a degreaser and 100% NOT recommended by the manufacture. The best way to solve light gap is NOT caulking Sir! So, do you adjust your slip solution depending on the weather or temperature ?... NO ...lmfao! Are you good? Of course we adjust our slip solution, (not dawn) as the weather and humidity changes. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Tip...you can also file down your hard cards so thin that you don't need caulk, lol
Love the feedback! In most cases we are able to do demos in a quiet room, but in this case we were doing it while in a high energy window tinting event/competition was taking place. Thank god for great mic's or we wouldn't have heard anything 🙏

Love it! 💯
Great job Thanks ‼️💯
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed 💜
What’s the best brand of the tinting plastic

How do you have your water spray setup? Is it on an air compressor?

@TintWiz cool, thanks!
How would you advise the owner on how to clean the film inside. For example: Could they use a glass cleaner and soft towel on the film?
yes absolutely, just make sure the glass cleaner does not have ammonia in it as the ammonia may damage the tint with long time usage. Sprayaway glass cleaner is a great one and available just about everywhere (supermarkets, home depot, etc)
Is this a real question?🤔 An installer would know this or you just trolling?
Very nice thanks. Is the mirror on both sides or does it mirror on the side with more light
this was Silver, so mirror on both sides. Dual Reflective would be the best choice for mirror on the side with more light.
Thanks makes sense
Could have pulled seals on side for no gap at all.

Why is the adhesive side, on the side facing you instead of stick to the glass?
The adhesive side is facing the glass. If it wasn’t, you would know right away, especially when the squeegee hits it.
7:50 the backroll.

Way too much noise in the shop & way too much talking by the tattoo guy
