I wish I knew this when I did my first windshield on my own car 😂 had one little hair piece on the left bottom corner, but was too scared to peel the tint back and try and remove it. I was too proud of the first windshield tint job I did 😄

The legend is back just in time again, been thinking about doing my front window in ceramic tint after doing the rest with awesome results from your videos man

I did tinting 40 years ago, I just retired and looking to find something I like to do. I want to start by tinting my Tacoma what ceramic film should I get and where to buy it? By the way you’re good not just tinting but explaining!! Glad I came across your channel.

I cleaned the windshield with soapy water and a squeegee 2 times, applied the guard aid tape to the windshield, then get a dampened a dry sheet with soapy water, wiped the windshield with the dryer sheet, once the windshield is dry I applied the tint, cut to fit, did a h pattern to apply the tint to the windshield, and then started shrinking the tint. The key component is to take your time when shrinking the tint.

i tinted in high school as my first real job. back then we still used wet shrinking and you had to have the fingers vertical. horizontal "waves" would 80% crease. ah memories. years later i did my cars with with the dryer method but im too old and fat to bend around anymore. i could still do it, just takes me an ass of a long time. i did windshields on the side after the local shop stopped after they cracked down on them. it was easy 300$ a pop for a while. havent touched film in 5 years but i still get the itch looking at the left over rolls i have stacked. tinting is that one thing that looks so simple but takes so much fiddly experience to do right. watching this with the context is so much more gratifying

Just goes to prove with camera on the tinter that accidents can happen to the best of us, but is all about how you correct them that proves how good you respect your craft and name!!!

This is 50% front tint ? Which brand you use and available brands

A lot of patience you do have.

Have you tinted a Subaru car with eyesight cameras on the front windshield? I read up Subaru owner manual and it does not recommend tinting the windshield. I want to know if ceramic tint will affect the cameras at all.

Excellent information thank you for sharing this 👍🍻🇨🇦

Couldn't you use a nylon cutting tape or is it not strong enough for a clean cut?

Kentucky stickers; made from the finest Kentucky Thoroughbreds. Makes the stickiest of glues. Also: love your videos. I’m going to try to tint my 2017 Impala myself. If I fail I’m out $60. Then I can justify paying the $286 I was quoted for all around tint at the local shoppe.

How much heat (temp setting) do you use in the heat gun? Do you use RO water?

Done like a pro.❤

Thanks for sharing.

Great video.

Hi, i just recently orderd precut film for my car, when i am installing the rear window, do i keep the protective film on for the step where i shrink the film??😬

Can you use knifeless tape for this?? and cut the film that way?

Your videos are very good, my questions is the slip solution, I do tinting as a business and one constant problem is the slip solution I live in Hawaii and the shop do not have air conditioner so is relativity hot, is a problem to maneuver the film on the window not mare how much soap or water, and the creasing possibilities increase exponentially, I will appreciate if you can let me know your opinion, Thank you.

Good job 👍

Please a se clarify what is meant by ceramic coating? is there A specific finish on the film?

How close are you with the tip of the heat gun to the film when shrinking?

I live in California and I like the Windows type of film. Can you tell me where I can get it?

Ceramic film has metal particles in it that reflect heat. You can even do a completely clear ceramic film and it will block the heat.

You made that look easy sir! This service I would happily pay a pro for and not DIY LOL

How do you get that rope out without pulling the tint off?

Do you heat shrink on the side windows?

Good job but I would recommend to squeegee middle to top and middle to bottom the same direction you shrank the fingers out. By pushing the water out to the sides, you are working against the shrink.

They have the rope and towel together. I did it with the new corvette

Yea I have the original and it fell apart within a few months . I really liked it tho. but still even that towel takes up more space than I’d like for the HUD so I just left it out

What % tint was use to do the windshield.

Nice screwdriver, lol. Best I've ever owned! I knew what it was as soon as I heard the ratchet.

You don't sell drops of tint by chance do you?

I can't stand windshield tint. Not because of the tint or the idiocy of it, but because it worsens my visibility. Like putting a layer of plastic over my sunglasses.

With those tight dashes like that have you ever tried your plastic door panel covers with a soak rope?

@DetroitTintStudio

10 ай бұрын

I haven’t but the plastic being really light weight probably wouldn’t ever stay where I need it to be and I’d be worried about water running off the sides rather than getting soaked up. But the towel still works well enough here it’s just not all the way to the end

I think the reason why your blade wiggles is because you let it out too long. i think if you shorten your blade just enuf for you to actually feel when it cuts the tint than that should be it. Just sayin🤷‍♂️
