Great video, that shows the full process of doing the tint. & its good that you supply the report on the tint after doing the job. very professional.

As long as 75% light gets through it’s fine

Every shop should provide a printout for piece of mind incase of ever getting pulled.

I'm sure you guys know this but I learned a trick a long time ago using a regular button off of your clothes to cut tent replace the button on the glass tent over the button razor blade in one of the holes on the button works really good for not scratching any glass

In the US, its really not "illegal" in most states as long as its not too vibrant and still clear, (like the tint you used), but if you put a super dark and colorful tint on your windshield its doing more harm than good and you will get ticketed. Clear anti-glare tint is legal in most states here too. In my state, Texas, there are 0 restrictions on rear windows and rear passenger side windows, so you can go full limo tint on them. Front side passenger windows are allowed to have as dark as 22% (the law says 25% but a difference of 3 is allowed), and the front window can be darkened to around 75% without getting ticketed. You technically arent allowed to tint the full windshield here but a cop isnt even going to look twice as long as its not as dark as the side windows.

Great skill and love the certified print out.

I had my front windows done in chameleon tint in blue i love it my car is black mondeo mk4 titainium x sport & i use a road angel the view is good

Actually. Those at nissan in 1989 thought it cute to do at least one truck with no tint in the glass. Kicker. Truck also came with no a/c either. (Windshield. No tintbar across top, AT ALL.)

Will get pulled and checked at some point but I love it

Personally I think that these things look pretty tacky - although I do respect that people can do what they (legally) want to their cars. My taste isn't someone else's and I first and foremost respect a person's passion. What bothers me about these more than anything is that I cannot see the driver. Not from a nosy point of view, but from a 'I don't know where they're looking, have they seen me' point of view. I also find them surprising to be illegal as, like you mentioned, police and cameras won't be able to see inside to see what the driver may or may not be doing.

Where you trained at ultimate tinting, I noticed your Llumar certificate on the wall, I have the same?

Looks very untidy around rearview mirror?

I'd never have the patience for this 😆

On registration plates can you have the footer saying police

I think its only legal if you own a stone island jumper.

Any (yellow) hue on the inside?

So if my factory ford tint is 20% how much chameleon surely it has to be like a 95% cham?

I do kinda hate tint it makes it a bit hard to see who is in the car and if they are waving. We wave to everyone here in North Queensland

how does the certifcate work, surely if the police test it and its illegal they wont care about what the certificate says so its pointless theres no way to make sure unless it lets in atleast 80-90% of the light through, anything around 75-80 can differ on machines and day light wear tear ect ect

The legal rule for how tinted a visor can be in the UK is pretty simple. The law says that your visor must allow light transmission of at least 50%. This means that less than 50% of the light can be blocked by the visor, dark tinted motorcycle visors allow this, but then become illegal at night or in low visibility conditions.
