Man you are a teacher for real. I appreciate you! I have watched at least 20 different videos like this and by far you have gone into the most depth and have made it easy to understand. Keep ‘em coming!!
Excellent -you take it slow, explain everything clearly, and your way of speaking is really helpful. I kept waiting for you to say, "We have a happy little peak living over here, wanna make sure we get that...
Thank you, I never knew the golden rule about tint only shrinks from edge to edge, I think this is where a lot of people make the big mistake.great video.
This is the best video I have seen so far explaining how to properly shrink window tint. I love how he not only shows you how but explains WHY he does it the way its done.
Great tutorial. I'm a home tinter. lol. 4 failed attempts using Lexan film on a VW Golf R back window. Your tips made #5 a complete success. Thank you, thank you , thank you.
I’ve watched every video on here of how to shrink a back glass and I haven’t been able to get it. Perfect. Yours really helped out a lot man. Thanks for making the video.
This is how to teach people something. You are the one i can see that you show everything you know. Did not hide technical. Many thanks for your helpful tutorial.
After countless videos and too many attempts i successfully wrapped 3 back windows, 2 sedans and an SUV after watching this video. the key was understanding the peaks and breaking the bunched up parts.
Thank you for this video! The explanation of looking for peaks and when it platos across and creates a line to push your finger through it to create peaks is really helpful and I think that’s what I’ve been messing up on
tried tinting my window a year ago, came out horrible so i gave up, today youtube suggested your video, and i am glad it did, great instructions. you have a new sub
This video was a TON of help. Im in the process of trying to learn how to tint and im pissed off and pulling my hair out. This video taught me EXACTLY what im doing wrong. When i have the energy to try this again im sure this will be the fix to my problem. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Haha me too! I'm a professional car wrapper and thought tint would be childs play, I was wrong! I totally understand the energy thing, when something beats me this bad, it sucks away the will to try, the excitement of trying a new thing is gone lol
dude! finally! big help, a lot of channels keep the important details to themself unless you buy their program i know exactly what ive been doing wrong! several solutions here
@@kenssalvador7253 no need to wet the film at all.Use the heat gun flat out warm it up for about 5 secs,dont hold it too close and also keep the gun moving.
Seriously the only and best video I could find on what to apply the dryer sheet to the back window so it could be shrunk properly. I had a hell of a time today with direct sunlight in the wind blowing. This video gives me a lot more confidence on these curved windows.
Excellent! did my first window tint it came out great! ... and I did it to my rx 8 rear bubble glass. excellent advice on listening to what the film dictates I let the film do the talking and it worked great.
Awesome! Thank you for the step by step to look out for. Trying my 3rd attempt on back window. 4 hrs later and I have a perfect tinted back window!! I found using a glove instead of a hard card helped with heat control on film.
I'm very impressed with your skill, I'm thinking of doing a final re-do over with my rear window tint once again. My mistake was the corners plus I have air bubbles at the bottom. Plus my tint doesn't cover the full rear window. I got to do two tints side by side more like across".
I got your superior charcoal to do my personal vehicles and I am at my wits end trying to shrink to my 2017 pathfinder. Think I've used half a roll trying and got frustrated so much after failing and left it looking not so good. But now after watching this video I'm going to strip it off and try again with your methods. Maybe you can show doing a rear window on one since no one else seems to have a video using the 17 pathfinder. Thank you
Bruh, thank you SO much! I have watched many many vids on how to tint a back window and have attempted it just as many times, but I would always end up creasing it. I could never get the sides tacked down and could never figure out why. I don't know what magical words you said that finally clicked inside my head, but I am SO happy to say that after watching your vid I *finally* tinted my back window in one piece and without any creases! Thank you so much for being you, i am truly grateful 🙏
Got to get that dialed in. I'm good though not great just yet. Though I'll get there! Practice makes perfect!🙌 Video gave me pointers. Good looking out.
Nice video brother... best explained onw out there thus far ive done most of van and was running ourta film and now i know what ive been doing wrong twice so far because i ran it opposite way from the others so i just kinda picked up the right way by accident tbh but ill take it... lol god bless brother
Enough cannot be said about your teaching skills you made the theory of backglass shrinking understandable to me more than any other I have watched. As a 50y/o disabled dude I have sunk everything into the tinting gig like $450 investment and made only $50 but enough of that THANK YOU!!!
Great tutorial, after watched tons of video "how to tinting window", this is the best one tutorial. Sorry if this sound silly, but can I just heat the film from inside during installing/applying it to the window? or is it mandatory to heat it before installing? Appreciate for your answer. TIA
This was the most easy to understand film shrinking vid, the other vids tell you HOW to do tint stuff, but not the WHY. I got too close to the non factory edge and immediately a horizontal finger appeared just like he said! Luckily the window wasn't that curved and it still worked fine, but we'll see if it lifts or peels later because I shrank the wrong edge. It's hard to do the top and bottom without hitting the wrong ends!
Thanks for your detailed video, when I had my training that never explained how to how to shrink. He showed how to shrink and he started sitting in the chair, he never check our work if we do it right or wrong. What kind of card you use for shrinking? Is there a specific card to use for shrinking? Thanks in advance.
Do you recommend doing this for the driver doors that are only slightly curved? Like is this shrink method a must for all window tinting to get the best results?
Hi, yopu make this look easy but i am struggling with this - i have tried to heat shrink a rear window 3 times and each time I get creases along the top and bottom what am I doing wrong ?
Go slow. Watch the film. If it gets too hot move to a different area. Don't get the glass too hot. Try blowing a little air under the film to let it dance on the glass a little a few times while shrinking. Leave a little extra film on the top so you can pull a little on the film while adding a little heat. Hope that helps. Practice, practice and practice some more.
I just bought some tint from you guys, shouldve asked this before but i bought 2 40in x 100 foot rolls of the 1 ply to practice with. Will that be okay to use to practice shrinking? I figured i could use this, then get the superior charcol after i get used to tinting so I'm not wasting the good stuff. I also mentioned your name in checkout, thanks .
Can you do a video of your 1 ply tint vs the superior charcoal for shrinking? I bought your 1 ply and could not get it shrunk perfectly on the windsheild. Between deciding to pay someone, or buying better tint, I bought more tint from you guys which is the supior charcoal
What happens if youre installing the tint and you find you didnt shrink it enough? Can you use the heat gun inside the car to remove small fingers or is that a no go?
Great question. Try not to let that happen. But it will from time to time. Do not bring the heat gun inside. Rather, heat the outside where the finger is till it's too hot to touch. NOT ANY LONGER THAN NEEDED or you can crack the glass. Then try and push the finger out. Best thing is to double shrink the film before installing it making sure it's a nice tight bottom or top edge. Video coming soon.
Man, that is what I call a tutorial for noobs like me. Fantastic. Just don't know what you used for the tacky part. What was that? Keep it up dude! Will follow!
Superbe vidéo , je te suis sur tiktok , maintenant je vais te suivre ici aussi. dommage que je ne comprend pas l'anglais . tu utilise quoi comme lingette que tu mouille pour rétrécir le film ? une lingette adoucissante ? merci et continu comma ca
Hey Kevin, got some films from you guys, Im new tinter and this is my first tint purchase! Could you have a video on difference of films from high end to economy ones like ceramic, carbon and the regular economic films. Thanks for videos and informations, peace.
Of course my guy! I’m super happy you gave it a go! Keep watching. More to come! We do have a vid posted me showing the difference between the films and how they shrink. But we have more to come. Stay tuned!

@@kris54241Only thing I know is that mine did block alot of the heat. Its like night and day and I only put 70% tint on my car. Can't even tell its tinted. Also its thicker then the cheap stuff. If you really wanted to you could get one of those tint solor testers off of Amazon or eBay.

Finally, a decent video explaining how to shrink tint
Amazing...haven't tinted in awhile but this one video showed more details and the 'why' to really understand how shrinking behaves. Thank you so much!
the visuals were good on this one
Back windows and front windshields have been the toughest challenge this video is very helpful for me thank you so much!
Easily the best shrinking video, a lot of detail on what to look for and how to handle the material.
After countless videos and too many attempts i successfully wrapped 3 back windows, 2 sedans and an SUV after watching this video. the key was understanding the peaks and breaking the bunched up parts.
do you shrink with the clear film protector on the tint still?
I really appreciate not just the how, but the why, in your tutorial.
Out of all the videos that I have watched this the best ones.
Clear as water... Thank you sir for taking your time and doing this video.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for making this video! I’ve watched so many that didn’t teach me a thing I almost gave up

Question never done it before and to shrink the rear windows do you need to wet the film or you dont have too
@@kenssalvador7253 no need to wet the film at all.Use the heat gun flat out warm it up for about 5 secs,dont hold it too close and also keep the gun moving.

I'm really appreciate n grateful for the videos you made. It's was very lot of important details. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for the step by step to look out for. Trying my 3rd attempt on back window.
4 hrs later and I have a perfect tinted back window!! I found using a glove instead of a hard card helped with heat control on film.
If you dont have a card you can use a rag.
I realize it is kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online ?
i felt like wearing a glove while holding the card duue to the heat.
I appreciate you taking the time to make all these videos.
I'm happy to. Thanks for watching.
Sir you di man..littery did my first successful shrink earlier today after just going half way through this video 👍🏿 best shrink vid

Bro!!!! The best vidoe I ever saw on this great knowledge thanks for this wish me luck
Not even my trainer for tint and ppf could teach me how to shrink correctly in person and you did it for me in 5 minutes over RUclips thank you😂😭
Really love this guy! So easy explaining I’m getting my heat gun

Yes. There’s a difference. This is a 1.5 mil. And that’s the thinnest I’ll use.
