    Don't mean to be the old fart in the comment section..... I was doing full wraps with words and logos that had to be level on winston cup cars and the car haulers, befor the air release tech. Now any swinging tool bag can look like a hero.

    Unbelievable work! I've watched probably 12 of your videos and have been working at tinting every reflector and light on my Mustang Mach-e with the exception of the headlights. Those I will do in a few days. I've learned as I've gone along but I feel like you've taught me a new skill that I can share with my family and friends. Thank you so much.

    Thanks for all your vids! I just finished wrapping the lights on my Model S after watching your work about 20 times. A bit of a learning curve working with the material, but all your advice helps a lot and by the 3rd piece I felt like I really had the hang of it.
    I also have a new respect for car designers, there's so many subtle shapes that get overlooked.

    Spray foam glass cleaner works really well for prepping surfaces. Much less aggressive. I'm an automotive collision painter and I'm looking to get into wraps. It's very similar steps to prepping cleaning and masking a car for paint. Love these videos, its giving me the extra nudge to git it a try.

    Just finished doing my 2022 F150 Powerboost. Your video saved my ass and a shit load of money. Took me 3 times to do the first light….the key being heat control and not over stretching. It’s not an easy headlight to do but watching how you handled the lifted plastic for the turn signals was 100% “stone cold” helpful. BTW..you are a master at this but more important an excellent teacher.

      In that jurisdiction, he's way more likely to be ticketed for the license plate cover (a lot of people in that province put covers on, even clear ones, to protect their reg plates as they are made with the durability of tissue paper in a light drizzle, yet, clear plates are contrary to the HTA/obstructing view of plate: $100 ticket, or so).
      Also, he's a Firefighter. A Constable who tickets a Firefighter for something like that is a right dick.

And Chevy Tahoe have same strange headlight shape as these, 5 companies in town turned me down, figured fuck it do it myself only be out $ for product!! It wasnt this video I watched, a little car was what you were doing. BUT man 3 months later still holding up, did my 3rd break light on the Tahoe and it was so easy after watching your videos!! Still having trouble with the 17 Tahoe tails, due to so much bending but think I just need to cut out bigger pieces to work!! Awesome videos man, keep it up!!🤙

      Could be a technical thing like he said: couldn't be done well with a wet application

    why do you not have a wooden stool, drill a hole in the middle, slightly larger than the mouthpiece of the heat gun, then you do not have to take it off the ground every time.
    This is what I did, and it saves you a lot of bend work, and you have the heat gun immediately at hand.
    It's just an Idea.

    So before watching your video I was never a fan of tinted lights. Mostly because I always thought of just the completely blacked out ones that I almost rear end because you cant see anything from them. After seeing the vvivid light smoke application on the 18-19 f150 headlight I have a new thought of them and ordered the tint and will be giving it a try. If all goes well I will try and get a video of the 2nd light. Thank you for the video and inspiration to try some cheap mods!
