I have been tintin cars in Ontario,Canada for 21 years and that is a nice,quality and clean job!!! I never rush a tint job... quality over quantity. Nicely Done.
What I appreciate the most from this video was his patience and attention to detail. I was good seeing him repeat his process sequence when squeegeeing the window.
Good work!
Great video - I have been teaching myself to tint on my car and my large curved rear window is a fail everytime. But I have been wet shrinking your dry soap method looks good & I'll give it a try.
I'm about to tint the rear hatch on my C30. I've tinted my previous 4 cars, but never tried shrinking to fit the curvature before (most had flat rear windows like a pickup truck). Super useful video, thanks!
Tinting is very intimidating. But here's the thing, Its all about trial and error. These guys weren't born with the knowledge of installing tint. Nothing in this life is ever easy. It takes practice , more practice and finally more practice. But in the end if you stick to it and you have the determination you will succeed.. That's really all it is to accomplishing things in life. Sorry for the sermon but that's how life works. Now go for it!!!!!!!
excellent video, and good technique of soap, knew not, very good contribution! a big hello from Tachira Venezuela
i find when im tinting the most satisfying bit is when you get the tint on the inside all flat against the window... just before squeeging i dont know why
i have a question for you what kind the window film do you use .1ply or 2ply or what kind should i use? ..great video..
Really just an alternative method, but does allow you to shrink larger areas of film more evenly. Helpful on very curvy glass or thinner films like the 3M Carbon film used in the demo.
Hi!
You are doing a very good job, you're very good.
One question, when you heat with heat gun, how many degrees you have a heat gun on?
Good luck
I set mine to 550 degrees or 600. worked for me.
Good video! Thanks for sharing. can anyone tell me what temperature about to shrink the tint please?
i was getting ready to give tinting my windows a try and had a few questions like what kind of soapy water do you use and if you use dry sheet do you spray water on the window 1st then wipe with the dryer sheets...sorry I'm just confused but i think using soap would be easier..thanks for the video
One of few vids where the soap method is clearly explained! Thanks!
HAI BROTHER, YOU DOING VERY PERFECTLY & NEAT & CLEANE
Heat set to full power, and speed 1. Seems to work well with the Makita guns to create good heat, not just wind..
friend that position of the temperature occupies to thermoform the polarized film ... I have the same heat gun
Looks great! May i ask is the exterior a
UV layer? What is it for? Cheers
Thankz 4 the tipz.Ive been tinting over 20 yearz an that was an awesome technique....
great job, ive been tinting for lil while now im getting better and better as i go
when you shrink the film on the outside, do you shrink it with the thin clear 2nd protective layer still on?
When did you peal of the clear plastic?
o vidro traseiro do new beatle faz com essa tecnica ?
Can't decide what tint to use on a budget please! I need to be able to apply it easy, I bought a crappy ebay brand and screwed it all up! Preferably none fading or purpling. I'm looking at lexen, Huper Optik, asw, llumar, Huper. Your thoughts!?
Excellent! Im a DIYer trying to tint a rear window on my l300 delica. Ive never shrunk tint before so will give the 'soap bar' method you show a try. =)
Wouldn't the rear window heating element mess up the tint film?
Do you use single 1 ply 1 mill thick?
Hi, nice video.. I have a question... I have my car tilted, on the day it rocks, but at night I can't see well.. looks like the film is dirty or something... is there any way to clean it up, or it needs to be replaced?
Gosto muito de aprender técnicas novas, mas ao meu modo de ver dessa forma leva mais tempo do que o convencional, mas mesmo assim parabenizo o profissional do vidro
i was surprised about the soap haze technich , it looks like this was left on , before the window tint was put on except a middles streak you wiped off, wouldn't it leave the sap have on the window after insulation ???
Hi thanks for the video it was informative but i would like to ask, what is the heat for and is it possible to skip that step?
It's to shrink it to the curve, DONT SKIP!!!!!!!!!!!
Got a question. if you put the back window heat on will the tint eventually come off?
Hello, I work for a dealership tinting. I need tipa for the rear window. I get the shrinking process its just when I get the tint inside these dry like fingers pop of from the corners and I can't seem to get them to stay down. My guess is because when I heat shrink minor creases keep it from staying down. Any suggestions?
the soap is a great method, less messy than talc, safer then dryer sheets, its a winner!
Hello!
Are you using a 3M white pad for the initial window cleaning?
hi sir, is it true that cheap foil will shrink much worse than a quality brand of foil? or does it not matter at all?
Oh, and i use the exact heat gun.
What speed and heat number is it on?
hi.What sprays on the foil?plain water?mix or something?I'm waiting for your reply.! proportion describe how and when mixed
Very interesting, first bit of tint video ive seen that ive watched all the way through
Looks like we do things very much alike as i also use the exact same 2 squeeges
Im also not interested in a pissing contest to see how quick it can be done but how perfect
Out of interest, what benefit could this provide over wet (only ever bothered with wet in 20 + years). Is it any easier on harder windows or simply a different method
Yes, The film shrinking is done with the release liner (backing sheet) still on, and facing out towards you.
Why did you use the glove one side? Why did you use the H method and what does that do on the outside preparation?
robby mccormick was showing two different techniques of shrinking the tint, glover over heat vs rubber scraper. The h pattern helps you work the ripples out more effective. And you do it on the outside first to give the film the contour of the glass easier vs doing all that inside the car there are more obstructions.
Where do I purchase gold card
Good job man i wish ya lived in Louisiana i get ya to do mine murano. Ya make it look sooo easy
@austin giblin Thanks mate. check my other videos. have already done a dryer sheet demo, and you're right, they work great!
Can you tell me what do you spray- 9:23 in this video?
Yea i know it's always been way cooler when adding Tint i in my car i have two layers of 5% Tint love it man!
Great video,Where did you get the shirt from,I would like to buy some like them for my company. Cheers steve
Ive seen these tints applied in similar ways by different people,,, BUT !,, what if the glass area is a different size inside than it is outside ?
what do you use to clean around the defrost liness? Most peoples problems will come from not cleaning the glass good enough, and most of you guys dont show that.
Good skills Man. Impressed, I am.
beautiful work sir!
Do you guys use ceramic films?
Do you get some scratch line on the tint from the inside that caused by the squeegee? I got mine a very tiny scratch line caused by the squeegee but the scratch only visible when the sun shine too bright through it. On normal lighting condition it looks just nice.
ΣDM LӨVΣЯ means you need to clean and file tool smooth again.
Are put a cloth on tool.

Nice video..... Did you cut the film prior to filming or did you use a plotter ? .... If you did use a plotter do you find them a must ? Also yeah do not buy film of eBay ever , it won't last one good summer
Thanks for the heads up. This demo was done slowly to help people out. If I did it in five minutes flat, how much would they learn?
Thanks, You did awesome!
Really appreciate this video ... Soap technique is the key .... thank you ... 👍🏼💐💐
im lost what exactly is this is it like a tint
after this process can ride my car without wait 1 hour or something?
You sure make it look easy
excellent, thanks Ulta Tint!
Can you tell me the store i need to buy paper...
You make it look easy 👍👌👌
Heating glass / tint like this doesnt damage or crack the window?
Im afraid to use heatgun so close on my car. I must tint rear window. Or its fine if you move heatgun around and use low power setting?
+jw200 just keep it moving. Don't get too terribly close.. No you won't hurt your window or door/paint but it's possible to burn the tint film so be careful.
You'd be surprised the heat that cars withstand on a daily basis. Just don't leave it pointed at the paint or something dumb.
very nice job. instead of soap i was using talk powder (baby powder, i dont know how its called in english). the rest is exactly the same process but i think powder is much more slipery and easy to apply. good job anyway ;)
this guy didnt take a breath for 12 minutes. thats impressive
Does any one know roughly how many metres it'd take to do an average station wagon (well half a wagon Ok My trailer which is the rear cut of a station wagon from the B Pillers back which I turnt into a camper trailer type thing use it for everything but not sure if the 6 metre roll of ebay will be enough should be, So does any one know what the average length is required to do a full car
Do you prep the De-frosters? I seen before some people either some how sand them or prep them so the tint doesn’t peel.... is that necessary?
On some cars it is. But not always. 👍
Ultratint Southport how can you tell which vehicles need it and which vehicles don’t?
hi what tecnique do you prefer soap method or dry sheets?
Personally... Dryer Sheets.
When I bought a brand new 2006 Honda Civic Coupe, the dealer threw in a free tint job. They did such a bad. Had three 1/16 inch bubbles near the corner and a couple of dust particles. The biggest problem was that the corner of the rear window started to peel off after a couple of months and a 4 inch razor cut on my rear seat. If I wouldn't have noticed the rear window tint peeling, I would of never went to the back seat and found the cut in my seat.
mega Thank u for this tutorial. Now i know how i can do that on my Nissan March K11
What heat gun setting are you using? hi? low?
james barber - High, and maximum heat. 👍
I remember the first time I attempted to tint my car windows in the early 80's.....didn't go so well....I did this outdoors on a prettly windy day and with cheap tint....I'm sure you could imagine the terrible result....I now leave this to the experienced!
Creases are definitely not good. But it could also mean that you aren't fully shrinking the film on the outside first. Make sure your two side edges are sitting flat on the outside of the window while shrinking and only shrink towards the top and bottom. After you're done, run some heat over the entire top and bottom edge. If you haven't shrunk it properly, this will cause a few more to pop up. Get rid of those and you should be good to go. ~ UT
Yeah my fault I didn't did it at the end top now there are 2 big ones
i have a small doubt sir wen i was tinting the film there is a so many air babools coming wat will i do please
+sridhar thati you no wanna no babools
I don't understand what the dry sop is for and I'm trying to shrink mirrored tint and it doesn't want to shrink for me and I am using a heat gun
Some film will shrink easier than other mirror tint has more metal in it and will not stretch as easy also make sure you shrink against the grain of the fil or it won't shrink at all
Usually the grain runs along the length of the roll so the factory cut edge is where u need the shrink top and bottom
The film has to be heat shrinkable, mirror film is for flat glass
Excelente buen video
@Hezbollah Hamas It goes on the inside once its going to be finally installed, you place it on the outside to trim the film to size. It would be dumb to install the film on the outsize since it'll get ruined by the weather elements.
Modello è il fono makita? Devo sciogliere tutta la saponetta per 2 litri di acqua?
we use BOUNCE.. dryer sheets.
Thank for the reply.
nicely done!
Was their much sense in even tinting that window ? When its finished it just looks the same as before .
stevester'8308
It’s UV protection and so you can see the demonstration.
you're very good job...
Superbe 😊👍
Gestes précis et pro 🤩👌
Thank you sir for your vid.
Good video, but why trace an H before conforming?
Good question. It's to lock to film into place on the glass, and allow the film to only shrink up and down.
It seems easier than just putting it, I'll try it soon :}
good job....smile next time at the end of the video mr darth fader...lol
Ajiiiiib pelajaran juga buat Ana...
Hello
deu pra mim fazer um carro em quanto ele coloco so no vidro traseiro kkk
You cut the part where you remove the tint or how to remove the tint to place it in the interior and which side. Overall good job!
just an option, wet a dryer sheet and smear the fabric softener thats in the sheet over the back window. it dries fast, you need very little, and heating is a dream. increases speed of heating without any checks or creases. plus easy clean up unlike powder. heating back windows wet is just insane. takes way too long. and white/gold cards are the way to go. good vid though. cheers
good job
Thank u for the vid
Why ebay.com.au of course a 76cm x 6m roll pending on the seller at a 35% tint starts around $22 with $10 postage
WHY!! Look so easy. And I still have those Buble.
Why is this so fucking hard to do!! Already wasted 2 rolls of tint, fuck this
+adam smith Fuck you homo, I'll make you open mouth cry then put you in a coma.
what kind of tint is this
3M Carbon CS35
thank you
