Shyne151 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 If I have to do any cars at work this weekend, I'll take some pictures along the process. We've been trying to not do tint jobs on the weekends anymore, because there is only two of us installers and a tint job will take one of us away for awhile... and we end up losing money having to turn away jobs. So it might not be till I'm out of school in a couple weeks that I do another one(I only work weekends). hmm I guess I could just do the front windows on my own car. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

Microfiber is what you want. Forget to mention.. you should first scrape the window with a razor blade and window cleaner(we use tint safe so its fine)... Then clean again with window cleaner.... douche the fucker in solution(baby soap+water) and apply tint. Remember to keep your fingers VERY wet to keep dirt from getting on the tint. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.
