nice tips..

Hello Matt hopping you are doing great . Do you know of any product that would remove armor all or any other type of greasy dressing from door panels it is almost impossible to tape anything on door panels or any other plastic trim when that stuff has being applied. best regards. thanks

Hey man. Love these type of in depth videos . Just one question. Can the razor blade damage seals when cleaning the side seals? You said it butts up against seal. Also more videos like this please 🙏🏻.

Possible but really unlikely if you use it safely. The edge is against the glass so the blunt side of the razor might bump against the seal but that’s all. Glad you like the video!

My tint dude just sprayed some soap water and started tinting he definitely didn't clean the windows thoroughly

Where do you get the sticky plastic from?

Question, what about the tempered glass letters on the glass, if theres any problem with that? Mine are some thick. Thanks

What kind of tape do you using on sidings

Is the soapy water just dawn and water? Or what soap is best

Is it okay to use Optimum No-Rinse car/window wash solution as window slip for tinting? You're very diligent and I can tell you're good at what you do. Thanks for the tips.

howd it turn out?

Quick question! I have a 2022 Subaru Ascent Onyx Edition and I would love to window tint my front window but the modern Subaru’s use a 2 front camera system and those cameras don’t reach anywhere near the front windshield to kinda have an idea in where to cut the tint.. thought it would be a good idea if you please made a quick video on that or if not a comment would be fine! Thank you and thank you for your DIY videos

Officially from Subaru, don’t do anything to the windshield. From what I hear from other tinters, a light film like 50% and up won’t effect the system. no one could guarantee that tho. I wouldn’t ever do a windshield strip or try to guess where the cutout area is and rely on the system working. Too much guessing without trying a bunch of things

What do you do if they have a sticker, like a anti theft sticker?

Place another piece of tape to sandwich the door "carpet" plastic with a bit of overlap on the tape.

hello sir. can you tell me which type material of glass sides windows we ovoid clean it by blade to avoid scratches glass. and how we van know thats glass material affect by nlade. please answer my question 🙏. thank uou

You can use a blade on all glass. Toyota has a newer yellow glass coating but it’s not something ur gonna run into unless you do a lot of new Toyotas

By cleaning the bottom first arent you sending dirt from the top down to the bottom and leaving contaminants down under the bottom seal?

@marcoiniguez4020

my thought process as well, have you found any info on if its ok or not to clean the top first or bottom first and why? thanks to anyone that chimes in. Beginner tinter here!!

We tend to leave some dust specs even after cleaning just as instructed. Any tips to eliminate those remaining contaminants? Thanks

Yeah do it in the garage

Am I doing too much by scraping and scrubby padding the whole window? Sometimes I end up with little smudges on my glass in the light and I have no Idea how they got there. Can't tell if it's a spot I missed or excess soap suds??

@DetroitTintStudio

Probably not the cleaning, either the glue stuck a little while sliding it into place (might hear some sticking or popping sounds). Or it’s air gets stuck in the glue when squeegeeing air pockets over an area you already tacked down. These films have a pressure sensitive adhesive so once it’s pushed onto the glass, it’s made to stick to it.

So you tape any window regardless of felt gasket or not? because Ive only been taping when the felt is present

Yea, it’s way less helpful on a new car with a rubber seal. But on an older vehicle with rubber seals, they build up a lot of dirt. I’ve been tinting for years without tape and since I’ve been using it, it helps with the random specs here or there on the sides. If you haven’t been tinting long, it’s going to be waaayy more helpful that that.

Is the tape supposed to help you slide the tint easier? I am new at this and want to start my tint business. So I am trying to soak all the info I can. Did my first two front side windows on a hummer H3 and they were a PAIN.

I think the tape is so the tint doesn't stick to the panel and to keep debris from getting between the film and the glass

@DetroitTintStudio

The tape is like having a brand new seal. It covers and holds any dirt from it getting into your tint. So especially when ur new, it keeps the sides much cleaner

Thanks fellas. Much appreciated.

what do you do with the tape after the tint is completed? just peel off right away, and with the window up or down?

@angelyt6242

doesn't matter, the window can be up or down and the tape wont interfere with the film.

I found the razor blade creates micro scratches if you hold a bright led light to the glass.

House wrap tape or sheathing tape. You can find at any hardware store. I just came out with a cheaper alternative that works just as good 313tint.com/products/seal-guard-for-covering-side-seals

It seems little bit time consuming. I respect your efforts to tint better quality and saftey.

steel wool grade # 0000 to scrub the windows. Is what i use have you ever heard of that

Steal wool leaves a lot of metal "lint" behind. Sure it's scrubs the glass clean but it leaves more of a mess than what you started with.

@@DetroitTintStudio Yeah it's single use and has to be stored properly. I saw the aftermath of someone trying one of the "ball of lathe spiral offcuts" scrubbers, looked like the glass had been hit with a orbital sander! 😂 😂 😂 😂

I don’t have OCD but if I start cleaning like this I’ll OCD lol

He not doing this with every tint job or he charges too much

I know this sounds crazy… BUT what if I put down 70% ceramic all around a car. And then put regular tint after so I don’t have to buy another expensive roll

Dude you not doing all that cleaning to every customers windows lol that would literally take two days to tint

I'm always getting dirt in the corners I work at a dealership and tint about 8 to 10 cars a day some as last minute sales.i wash the cars first as we have a drive thru car wash then I roll windows downs blow air in the seals to looseen all the transportation dirt .then wipe the window seals and door panel inside.get my tint ready clean glass with razor and squeegee then peel my film and apply to glass yet still have dirt find its way into the corners.yet after I peel the tint off and start over I come out with flawless film ..what am I missing it's very frustrating.it doesn't happen all the time as since the car crisis we had lots of cars sitting for extended time in railcars gathering dirt for months now that we're getting cars again those cars are making it to us with massive amounts of dirt on them
