Absolutely awful finish

Absolutely awful. Very difficult to use and impossible to perform without making mistakes. I recently bought 4 different Gila films and put them on the windows in my house with great pleasure and I really liked them all. However, this product is HORRIBLE! The attached photo was my second attempt at applying foil. After noticing all the imperfections on the first try - yes, I was finally able to apply it successfully - I tore it off and tried again from the unused part of the foil. On one shot…

Radiator, installation at eye level with other tones

Bought two rolls, mainly to lower the temperature while driving (Hawaii). One roll was enough for the CRV windscreens, the second for 5 Miata windows. 35% was ideal - noticeably cooler, light enough, night vision does not deteriorate. However, the installation turned out to be a bit more difficult. After watching a YouTube video I installed it using a mixture of water and baby soap. Steps: 1. Clean the interior and exterior windows.2. Wipe the windows with a mop, wipe with a microfiber cloth.3.

Pros
  • Protective screens
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Good stuff but if you want really dark use 0%

I have some experience with car window tinting. I was tutored by a pro and built about a dozen cars. Then I changed jobs and didn't fix anything for about 2 years. I needed to tint a window in my house so I decided to just grab some and give it a try. This shade works very well. One star deducted for several reasons. First I ordered 5% and it says so on the box but it doesn't seem to be 5%. I've attached a picture with the windows side by side and let me just say that the hue in the photo…
