Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great shade, dark, uncomplicated

Shade: 5% damn dark. During the day there are no problems with visibility and there is not much light. Didn't notice much of a difference in heat protection, but heat is only an issue in the summer. This can be an issue on the darkest of roads at night, but other than that I haven't had any issues. It's like wearing sunglasses on the side windows at night. Not sure how to apply tint to a window and hoping someone can guide you? Willing to trust a stranger's way, even when I say I can or, more likely, I don't do it right? As I did, and I'm clearly not a pro at this, removed the side windows, even pocket windows. A little more work, but worth it in the end. After leaving, thoroughly clean both sides of the window and dry thoroughly. I'm lazy to a degree so I bought the solution they offer. It's just baby shampoo and distilled water. But it's so easy to buy :) and one spray bottle is enough for two glasses of a 4-door, no problem. Spray this material generously over the entire inner surface of the jar, then apply the colored film, which you previously measured and precisely cut and peeled straight from the clear film, sticky side down. Use a squeegee or something hard plastic with no sharp edges to smooth the surface from the center to the edges and squeeze the juice out of the spray bottle. Once that was done I used a razor to trim about 1/32" of the tint off the actual top of the window. The reason for this is so it doesn't experience as much stress and friction against the window jamb from where and when it does rolls. Place the window tinted side up in direct sunlight for 30-45 minutes. Spend the last 45 minutes in the sun and it should be completely dry. Replace the window, roll it up and leave , if possible sit for at least 24 hours I would definitely drive at least 12-16 hours without rolling Let the tint dry Bam You just tinted the windows.
