C7 Corvette: Xpel Prime XR Plus Window Tint - Mobile Tint Installation

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

While I had Martin from Alligator Window Tint & Detail here I had him do the whole Corvette in XPEL Prime XR Plus Ceramic window tint. I went with 15% on the sides and back and 70% on the front. I'm usually a LLumar guy (Air Blue 80 and Formula One Pinnacle) but I wanted to try the newer XPEL films and see how they look. Martin is a mobile window tinter so he comes to you which is amazing for people who cannot drive out an hour to find a good window tinter.

    I think you’re going to like this film. I have it on my cars and it really rejects the heat well, even at 35%. And doesn’t look at all milky. Also, the XR plus has a really slight blue tinge to it compared to the XR. I bet it looks good with the ceramic matrix gray.

It's meant to keep you loose stuff from getting sucked out if you ever take the top off and go over say 80 90mph... ask me how I know? Lol a snatched a ball cap mid flight and never left that unhooked again. But I've lost a microfiber in the past. Just looking like an idiot and god forbid danger to others...

Was that not the clear side on the outside when he shrunk it? Did that have another clear layer on the inside? When he rolled it up on the windshield he still had the clear layer on, applied the tint and then peeled another layer of clear.

    I never had any of my cars tinted simply bcuz of the mess they make. Not to mention i dont want anyone with a razorblade near my car, also the smell of soapy solution is gonna stay for quite some time after the install. At my dealership where i work, some guy came in to tint the rear windows on a mercedes, 1 week after that there was all this mold in the trunk.

    Internet logic = I had a bad experience, probably because I didn't do my due diligence in selecting a tint guy, so that means everyone else will too.

    Tint guys are more precise than you will ever be. You work for a dealership, of course they brought in a crappy tinter.

    maxim913 mold? Somebody didn’t know what they were doing! The soapy water smell shouldn’t be that noticeable. Always tint the windows before your going to have a complete detail!

    What the other guys said. Do your due diligence, and find a good tint guy. My guy is reasonably priced, always hooks me up, does a fantastic job, and stands behind his work. After 8 cars, I've never smelled the soapy solution even once after getting into the car immediately.
