The thing I notice with tinting is, you can't be too comfortable and get sloppy, but you also can't over think things and panic. He makes it look so easy, especially on a window that makes that much film bag up in certain areas. Thanks for the tips, you've helped me learn so much!!
I remember a couple of years ago, when I was learning to tint windows from your live streams, it took me a few tries on the windshield of my 2010 Chevy Silverado to not over shrink the film! What I finally realized was keeping air between the glass and the film so I could see what the heat was doing to the film so I didn't over shrink it! That was the game changer for me on being successful on shrinking a windshield! repetitively watching your live streams made me go from thinking I couldn't tint to understanding how to tint! Doing the shrink on the front windshield was a challenge but learning how to successfully cut door windows correctly was another challenge! Watching how you shifted the film on the glass to get it cut to the proper size, not only from side to side but also on height and get a nice clean cut on the top edge and tucking the film at the bottom two staging it. watching how you squeegee the film when you are pushing out the air and slip solution, especially on the back glass that has the defroster lines and turning on the rear defrost for a minute to heat the glass up for a minute. Success is knowing the details, and I think that is something you grow in more and more as the principals get stuck in your mind, so that you automatically think of the different steps as you're tinting! Thanks again for sharing the knowledge!
One thing I have noticed watching your videos is how nice the tint lays down the from heat. What film do you use. I am starting to realize how much of a difference that makes.
Hey there, I've been tinting for quite some time now. I'd say about 4 years as my full time job. I'd like to learn some new tips and tricks. Do you offer a school that I could talk my job into sending me to? I work full time tinting at a Nissan dealership on the north west border of Indiana and Illinois. Thanks!
Thank you buddy, your video really helped me to do my whole car by myself. At first I thought never in my life, but looking at your detailed explanation I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it is possible. 🎉
What film are you using? Looks like it is flexible and not easy to be burn looks great! I'm also a tinter here in the Philippines and we are using 3m tints but when close too much the heat gun in the tint it burns or we say it over cooked.
How are u able to squeegee down when the bubbles go across?! I have multiple creases from trying to get out bubbles like that, bad material? Yours looks so soft
Question: the advice you give about corners; does that also work with curvy windshields. I find that sometimes it’s a pain to shrink corners on windshields that are more curvy.
I've used ivory bar soap before but it has its issues. I had the same question about this video that you had wondering what he prepped the glass with before the heat shrink. It doesn't look like he put anything on the glass. If you notice the top, there doesn't seem to be anything smeared above his tint line, It looks completely clean.
I did a little research and figured out the best method. Spray a new dryer sheet with only water and cover the window with it. Let it dry before you lay the tent down to create your "H" pattern and complete your shrink
We stopped wet shrinking 20 years ago. Most guys don't even card back windows down like this. This was kinda like watching a monkey fuck a coconut. This window is literally a 2-3min shrink.
@@tintshady2049 took me 3 hours and I still fucked up. I think i have low quality tint because when I try to push it like he does it just clumps together to itself...
@@piizzacat Yes, he's dry shrinking. I had my comment ass backwards. We don't wet shrink anymore. Some guys might do a "wet check" which is done after an initial dry shrink.
I feel this. They make it look so easy but I just can't get it. I got one close just now but still had a couple fingers behind the 3rd brake light I just couldn't get so I removed it
Almost all Auto glass is curved. When Film comes off the roll it's completely flat so if you took Tint straight off the Roll and tried to lay it without shrinking, it would finger up and crease everywhere and It will never lay right without shrinking.
How does the tint hold up on the outside? I see you're in Detroit so would this hold up on a daily driver like in winter where you have to brush and scrape snow and ice off? I hate the way inside tint always seems to lift around the defogger elements on the inside of rear windows.
Dang dude you got a lot to learn about shrinking number one swirl your heat gun number two put on a white glove and you walk your fingers down and then you don't burn your fingers from the heat gun hitting your fingers. Plus you can tackle the bigger fingers by waving the whole heat gun over the bigger fingers and they'll disappear easier.

People that have never worked around tint don’t understand how big of a deal it is that you’re doing a demo on a charger lol.
Really ? I’m a New tinter and just watching videos on stuff that I might run across
Deadass
😂
nah fr 😂😂😂😂

To be more specific. A school that I could take with you directly

Use less heat on the heat gun
What card are you using? Mactac?
Que temperatura se utiliza?
Always making it look easier than it actually is 😂 awesome video! 👍🏼
Watch my videos you’ll learn
Hi, what should be the temperature?
Can you please show the whole process and tool you use? What’s the white stuff under the film?
What was that string you were using to cut
How are u able to squeegee down when the bubbles go across?! I have multiple creases from trying to get out bubbles like that, bad material? Yours looks so soft
tips for a back truck window? i’ve gotta tacoma with no rear slider so completely flat
For the back windows should they have some sort of play side to side when rolling the window down?
Can that be done with any quality film? I would like to learn but I don't want to use expensive materials
Window tint films are all pretty cheap

Hi, i'm a Window Tinter from ( RW Folierung) in Germany and i got a solution to make it easier.
@@deathnote4717 And that is???
@@XFBO Email me... i'll send u a sample
i need help on the forester back window it’s so curved on the sides. thanks
@@chastynroyer314 leave extra film on the bottom and pull on it while shrinking
Making it look so easy.
You on your first setting on the heat gun
Great Tutorial!
People! What a squeegee are you working with?! Ty
I’m going to do my first charger tomorrow,kinda scared,thinking about calling it off but at the same time I want the challenge
HOW DID IT GO?
What temp is the gun at
Where do you buy your tools?
Do you spray anything underneath before?

@@tintshady2049 Isn't dry tinting what he did? @Mario Martinez?
@@piizzacat Yes, he's dry shrinking. I had my comment ass backwards. We don't wet shrink anymore. Some guys might do a "wet check" which is done after an initial dry shrink.
Excellent.
I love watching this stuff 💜❤
Matt uploading early
What brand/name is the handheld LED light you use? I’ve been wanting to get one exactly like it but don’t know where to buy it
Harbor freight
Thank you, great video!!
Thanks for the vid
Good work
So no water is needed on the rear windshield???
He's dry shrinking it, before the backing is removed and soap solution is added.
i dont understand how people do this mine folds everytime when i try to push it down
I’ve tried this 5 times already and failed all 5 times. It’s definitely harder than it looks.
Dont worry,6 times today on a Micra😂
I feel this. They make it look so easy but I just can't get it. I got one close just now but still had a couple fingers behind the 3rd brake light I just couldn't get so I removed it
Absolutely.
Hi...new to this...whats the purpose of shrinking?
Almost all Auto glass is curved. When Film comes off the roll it's completely flat so if you took Tint straight off the Roll and tried to lay it without shrinking, it would finger up and crease everywhere and It will never lay right without shrinking.
That back window is the king of peanuts
As soon as you do the install turn on the rear demister so it all binds up which helps get no peanuts.
@@gav6808 or just learn to shrink it right...
Going over the defrost lines thoroughly multiple times with steel wool does the trick for me

You transfer this to inside
@@elias-zi3bd Oh okay. Thanks
Good morning
I need this video im fine doing side windows but the rear is a bitch
Thanks. I'm sure I'll still fuck it up. AGAIN.

oh GOD not that voice again ~
See how long that needs to be replaced. Tint is not made for exterior use If you are good enough its done from the inside
This made me LOL
Yep this guys need a practice
bruuhhhhh
Shrink on the outside then transfer it to the inside. Just so you know. It’s not going to stay on the outside.
Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.
