Heard a rumour about window tinting

[the evil twin]

What scares me from diy, is the old bubbly fading peeling off look.

A good facial defoliate, then a soothing milk scrub and aloe rinse will fix that problem... then you def won't want window tint so you can show off your new look at the lights

It's scary that you know that information...

What scares me from diy, is the old bubbly fading peeling off look.

My professional installed tiny is already pealing and only around 5 years old.
Factory tint lasted 18 years.
So something has changed and self tint is on my to do list

I'm still trying to get my head around the different tint qualities. Apparently the one with metal film is the best/blocks the most uv, but is the most expensive?

It can sort of be compared with polarised sunglasses vs cheap ones, which are just dark plastic.

So are people buying the best diy roll of tint, or just cheaper stuff, and re-doing it regularly?

Do you need to take the door trim off to diy the tint? What about the rearmost side windows - do you remove the trim to fit that? Is isopropyl alcohol the right stuff to use to clean the window first?

Jump on you tube. Lots of diy videos. Se good some crap.

The process I'll use to remove tint is heat glass up to 40ish degrees, and peal slowly. Gleaning glass with a glass blade and citrus sticky cleaning agent..

The rear windows with de misters in them don't use the blade. Just heat, peal and clean.
You can use a scotch brite pad and run along the de misters to clean excess glue off but that's it.

All in the videos though

I have one cargo area limo tint my son scratched with his push bike that needs replacing.
At the same time I think I might get the passenger behind the driver limo as well,
cant see out of it anyway, plus my Engel is there
