    I had mine for years without any issues. I initially had them professionally done, but the tint failed or wasn't done properly; there were about two bubbles on my front passenger side window and peeling from the corner on all the roll-down windows.

      A high school friend came into town yesterday, and had his new car he was showing me.
      Dealer installed tint, it is horrible!
      From 5 ft away, fingers, and small bubbles. Looks like it was just slapped on without cleaning the windows first.
      I will be in his neck of the woods in a few weeks, we are going to the dealer to get it redone

  • @marinusdekker6707

    He Matt, I personally would use the back wall for the film boxes, 1 side wall for car windows so people can see what the film looks like on the window, and the other side wall for all your tinting tools.
    But that is my opinion.

    • @DetroitTintStudio
      @DetroitTintStudio  Před 4 lety +1

    Hey Matt, quick question. If this film isnt static applied film, how come u didnt use a heat gun? I know absolutely zero about tinting, that's why I Subscribed😃! So theres tint that use heat/heat guns, some that stick by static, and some that dont use either like this one you applied 6 or 9 months ago. I want to.tint my two front windows on my part time Cruiser lol. P.T Cruiser. But I dont want to spend much. Idk, therea a local Tint spot in Baltimore that quoted me $100 bucks for both front windows , in and out in an hour tops. They have been around for 15 years but I have no idea what quality the film is. 2 windows for $100 total , no appt, in and out. In their defense, they have #15 plus installers working at all times. So I'm sure 2 guys will apply the film like an assembly line. I got a quote for $300 for both windows from a place that only applies 3m ceramic tint. They are more of a quality, not quantity type of deal. They do work on Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc. They do car wraps, whatever that is. Ok, I'm off topic. My car needs real work also , like blinkers fixed, couple front tires so I want something cheap I can try n put on myself. Can u answer my initial question and suggest a real kit n film under $50 bucks for both front windows on my P.T. Cruiser. I want it to match the tint on the back windows. It came with 35% MD law but font know if it's from factory. It's perfect, not a scratch, bubble, crease n the car is a 2003. Any thoughts ? Should I kick out the $ hundo n let a professional do it or pay whatever u suggest n try bbn it myself. Lastly, I dont know if the back is 35%. It looks darker. How can I find out? Thanks. I'm add crazy so I'm sorry for the thesis long comment. Bill

I live in the uk and the police stop people with totally blacked out front windows, the police have a device to check the legal % of tint. So my main question is this. What is the best and cheapest window tint i can order from Amazon please ??? There are so many to choose from. I want a 5% black tint for my 2 back door Windows and back window which is curved glass and for the 2 front door Windows and front windscreen with out using a heat gun with say 25% or 35% tint. Any suggestions on what to buy please ?? Thanks

    I’ve been working part time/on and off at a window tint place for 15 years.You would think I would be a little more experienced than I am ,the guy tried to teach me early on but we would be really busy, he’s got a short temper, and I’m kinda of an idiot/ not a fast learner. But I’ve been tinting more on my own and if I encounter something I don’t think I could tint I just tell them The other guys number. Sorry for long ass message btw. I’m wanting to start tinting more and I own my own cleaning business,so I’m not gonna try to make it my only job.I want to know what you’re favorite brand to tint with? People where I live in Tennessee always want 20%or 5% and of course what length would you suggest along with the brand of you don’t mind if I ask?Im sure you are aware that Walmart/autozone tint is not long enough to tint any rear windshield without piecing it,and I refuse to piece it together so I go buy a piece of tint from the guy I used to work for,and like you say here it turns blue pretty quick while their rear window is mint for a while lol. But any advice would be appreciated ,this is your first video I’ve watched ,I subscribed.sorry for this biography of a comment. P.s.do you hate tinting the bubble Chevrolet caprices like 1994 or 95? I had a nervous breakdown on very back window lol attempting to tint it,plus I ripped 2 humongous pieces for the rear windshield that I had to buy from my old boss for 20 a piece but finally got it rite on 3rd 20 dollar piece,when they came to get it they wanted it lighter,after we had talked for an hour about what they wanted I basically told him no I won’t do it lol
