Man I am so glad I found your channel! I have one of these coming in in the morning and was kinda worried about the rear window, but you have given me a lot more confidence!
I would but often times the customer sits there and watches me and I don't want them freaked out by the camera lol plus some places are really poorly lit and have music going so I wouldn't be able to use the audio. I normally do take my gopro just in case though.
@@cold-frontin_penguin7902 that is an idea for sure. Thankfully I don't do too many mobile jobs. 😅 it's a lot more difficult to get high quality results. Next time I get one though I'll film it if I can
I used to do this and always struggled one day I tried it unrolling it from the top. For me it works great just stick it half way down and unroll. The Film wil just lay itself down.
I'm confused. Is it normal practice to tint the outside of the window and not the inside? Won't the tint get damaged from rocks. car washes, etc? What about window decals some ppl may put on their windows.
Window Tint is cut and heat shrank on the outside to conform it to the shape of the glass, and then the "release liner" is peeled exposing its adhesive and stuck to the inside of the glass once it's prepped and ready. Window tint does not like to bend so if you tried to do everything on the inside you would get all kinds of creases, not to mention there would be no way to cut the bottom because the deck lid is almost touching the glass. Great question though!
@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Thank you for the clarification. I figured this might be the case, but many videos show the same technique but fail to show the transfer to the inside of the window. Thanks again.
@bigstater1 yeah trust me, it's amazing. I usually do about 4-5 wraps on every heat gun. The tip still gets hot but it will buy you a handful of extra seconds before getting burned lol
Where can I get film from? I did my 07 camry years back and got film from Amazon. I got a newer camry and try to get 3M film and only distributors have it, ridiculous!! I need a good film that can get from someone that is not a distributor. I tried eBay and received and empty tube. He refunded the money but so hard to get good film. Any help very appreciated it.
One us a Cornwell CBI5041, the other (and my favorite) is an Astro 52sl Which you can get from Amazon and I also use a Milwaukee m18 rover light quite a bit, I got that from home depot.
I always said tint is like a woman gotta find a way to understand it , it’s explainable but not 100% 🤣 anyway good video I always do the corners on the back glass blowing heat into the fingers then doing it regular and doing small circles
Rick from @sundistributingdirect always says you have to develop a relationship with the film. Lol and he's right. It's something that comes with time and practice. The more you do it the better you get at it.

I appreciate it! The back window on these honestly arent bad at all. I enjoy tinting these new Camerys personally. Thanks for watching
Have always wondered about those rear windows with the curve! You should take us on your mobile jobs too that would be interesting

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 I would tell them on mobile jobs I film for liability issues in case something happens I have proof to defend myself

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 I'm strictly mobile and it's a challenge. Wind, rain, sun etc. 😖
@@cold-frontin_penguin7902 my condolences to you man. I can't imagine tinting outside 😩

So you mean you reverse roll it from top to bottom instead of side to side? I've heard of people doing that but never tried it.

Sundistributingdirect.com sells very high quality film and you don't need to be a business or anything to buy it.
I will try to get it from them. I saw the boxes on your videos and trust your input on their quality.
Thank you !
I didn’t see the geoshield brand you use.
I only see Helios nova. Is this good?
@albertolvera4326 geoshield is a different company all together. Great stuff but more pricey than helios. The helios nova is a great film.
@@fastlanecarcarellc3608
I got the Helios super nova and I’m expecting a great fils and results
Thanks for all the help!
Yo where did you get those lights ??
One us a Cornwell CBI5041, the other (and my favorite) is an Astro 52sl Which you can get from Amazon and I also use a Milwaukee m18 rover light quite a bit, I got that from home depot.
@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Alright thanks going to buy myself one 🤙🏽
@@GearShifty I'd go with the Astro, cheaper, better light, and you don't have to track down a Cornwell dealer to get one or get it warrantied.
Talking about everything but what he's actually doing
Shrink, cut, scrub, squeege, wet, apply, squeege. Congratulations, you're finished. 🎊
