Do not buy this shade.

I have tinted windows on several cars over the years. I'm no expert but I can get by. The tint arrived with no problems. The typical method of applying window tint is to cut the film to shape and then apply a mild soapy spray to the windows. Then remove the transparent layer and apply to the window. Soapy water makes the screen move a little. Then use a squeegee to remove air and water. In this tint is an adhesive that will not let go of the window at all. A layer of water prevents the paint from moving. I think you should apply it in a perfect move. Maybe I'm missing something. The instructions suggest buying a spray for their application. But usually it's just fancy soapy water. Revain didn't offer it when it was originally purchased and there's no warning on the listing that it shouldn't be used without it. If anyone has more experience with this product please let me know. Much luck.
