BMW F10 M5 : Xpel Prime XR Plus Window Tint - Mobile Tint Installation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Martin from Alligator Window Tint and Detail reached out to me about doing tint on my cars. Luckily for me, he's fully mobile and came up to OG HQ to work on the M5 and Corvette. He installed some Xpel Prime XR Plus on the front windshield of the M5. I've never used Xpel on any of my cars, so I'm looking to see how it compares against Llumar Air Blue 80.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
That guy is a consumate professional. Quick, concise, educated answers. Tons of knowledge. Mad respect to guys like that.
“Don’t worry about wiping the paint, in other words DON’T wipe the paint” 😂🤣
lol
10:56 - “Dang that hood feels freakin amazing” -Matt
Dual purpose: he can be your window tint guy and personal trainer
Im a window tinter and this was quite entertaining to watch. He nailed it in every way!. Great work.
couldn't help but laugh at the guy in the background pumping decon soap slaving away while Matt's having fun
3 day drive to Flordia from AZ may be worth it to have this guy tint my cars. I can't for the life of me find anyone who is OG level out here.
Great watching someone who really knows what he's doing!
That guy is legit. Look forward to seeing the full job on the Corvette.
Martin is a OG man for sure.
This guy is always donating money in other tinters stream. You hear Alligator window tint so much! Good to see this guy is as cool as he seems
Martin is very skilled. Top notch installer. Sometimes it's more about the installer than the tint. Excellent work on display here + he knows his product very well.
I see that man pumping a jug of OG decon soap I just ordered in the back. I would love to sit there do my job and get all of the information being splurged while doing so. Awesome
I swear it can be the simplest video as this from Matt and it can help with late night depression. Thank you
heart is pumping seeing him do razors cuts on the car
Def wouldn’t recommend this method as a beginner unless you like starting over. This dude was really good working everyday to acquire this level of craftsmanship. Good stuff.
LOL! "Not the droids you're looking for..."
Fantastic job alligator.
Damn, Martin really makes it seems easy.
love theses videos. It's always interesting to watch someone with knowledge in their trade
Awesome video, looking to replace my front windshield tint.
Guy knows his stuff
as im building my window tinting and detailing business this pops up. nice!
edit: and thank you asking so many of the same questions ive been wondering!
Let the man work
That looks like a right ballache of a job to do. I don't envy him, I'm guessing the best/easiest time to tint the front screen is when you are having a replacement and they can do it before it's fitted.
Used huper optik on my 7 series in Las Vegas and I’m watching this to find out if xpel is going to match what I had with huper, by far bar none the absolute BEST window tint I’ve ever had
Here because the model 3 tint video was so good I needed more...
Did I dream about this video last night? Did I travel to the future? I am confused
Wish I had someone like you here in SLO California.
Amazing work!, don’t wipe the paint 😂 , that was funny. Can’t imagine doing 5 cars, insane amount of time and under a typical garage...geez Niagara Falls, 😂. Great video 👍👌
I like the line @ 5:20 ...."I tend to get a lot of cars."
Surprised the tint doesn’t pick up any lint from the towel on the dash.
Microfiber doesn't really shed in My experience, that's likely why he's uses it.
Dirty is your daddy. Great video. Thank you
Solar Gard has a really bad "milky haze". I've always been a fan of Llumar. Supreme clarity and great heat reduction.
I'm getting XPEL Prime XR Plus 70 on my 1991 Mazda B2600i Cab Plus as I type this. Front windshield, doors, cab plus windows and back glass. I need to as that thing has ALOT of clear glass on it. And I want it to look "stockish" looking instead of dark. Plus it will help that AC system work a little less hard.
Awesome! Not for me on a windshield. Sunglasses 100% optically correct. Great video.
Glad I found your channel. This was good stuff.
Mobile is neat !!! Distilled water is bomb too !!!!
Just got mine 15% app the way around and 70% for the windshield. Still feel the sun's heat, not as much but def still gets really warm. It's not working as advertised
very nice me from nepal i am also window tinter
The installer is a consummate professional. He needs a video like this with a professional reporter or just narrate it like Bob Ross.
Will he drive to Texas? lol It was very satisfying to watch this behind the scene. I have had XR Plus on my windshield in my previous car. About to to try Crystalline soon. Interesting to hear Crystalline is harder to shrink than XPEL. Hope my tint guy will be good like Martin here.
This video was on a couple of days ago?
73henny unfortunately I made a mistake with the audio during export.
Amazing work
Crystalline is the shit! I love it!
I've had it a few times. I really don't like it.
Does ceramic windshield tint affect a front mounted radar detector ?
nope
Correct!
Randy Humphries is in Florida. One of the best tinters in the country
I’m also mobile. Been mobile for the past 10 years.
Fantastic video !!
Is this 70% or 80%?
70%
@@ObsessedGarage dang it... i ordered 80%
Alligator tint!!
So you don't have to shrink the film if it is going to be installed on a flat pane of glass?
No, you don't have to.
How much of a difference does the heat rejection tint make? I just got mine done and wanted to see how it was done. I haven't noticed much of a difference since it's been cold and rainy in CA. Got everything besides the sunroof done. Honestly watching this makes me want to learn how to tint and do PPF work, etc
It's pretty remarkable the difference. The main benefit is the wear and tear it reduces on your interior.
18:50, would you get away with not putting a microfibre rope in between the windshield and the dash? My tiny guy didn't do that and it freaked me out that all the water is going under
The shop I work at has never done it unless it’s a new charger you should be fine.
@@LZ_Mobile_Tint Old comment, thanks for the reply! They also told me they have only had a problem with a CLA where a receiver for the keyless entry is right around the area under the rear windshield.
@@es3502012 old reply but they are being honest about the CLA they can be funky with the back window most of the time.
@@southerntintandautospa5484 Bravo, you or someone in the industry you know of must have encountered it as well then. Appreciate the input😄
does your windsheild mirror your dashboard facing the sun? Mine does but its new.
Good guy
What’s the lifespan of this?
I wonder what tint he recommends
First, love your vids!
All that water in the interior makes me nervous about getting my tint.
maybe i missed it, what percent did you do on the windshield?
70
I had a bit of anxiety watching him rest the box on your mirrors but man what a great job.
He said the V-word...
He does it by dragging that box across your polished CF mirror caps...
So is this the 70%?
Correct
He did a great job. Knows his craft for sure. Oh I felt you cringe when he said the V word there a few times 😂
What happened? This is a reupload.
Harv the audio was messed up in the original upload
I have difficulty night driving and want to get Xpel Prime Plus at 55% for the side windows. I already have 70% on the windshield. What do you think of the 55% for me on a Jeep Cherokee?
I think 55% is a bit too light. It won't do as much as I'd like during the day.
@@ObsessedGarage I APPRECIATE your advice. I will go down to 45%. Thanks, loyal subscriber.
@@Ojeramup12 Go 35% 45-55% is virtually no difference.
Go see it in person, go to a shop and ask if they have any cars with 35%.
I used to have 35% but I hated the feeling of still being distinguished in a car, people can still clearly see you. So i went 20% this time around.
I'm debating over Llumar Pinnacle or Xpel XR - any experience with Pinnacle? There seems to be a huge gap in pricing at my local installers.
I like Llumar more.
@@ObsessedGarage Even though you most recently went with Xpel on the Model 3?
The scratch resistant coating on Xpel is far superior to llumar.
Why not use a portable steamer? Its much gentle than a heat gun on the film that wont cause heat stress.
5:07 does he use fabric softener or did he mean to say baby shampoo??
oh i just watched it back and realised he's talking about the "dryer sheet" which I have no idea what that is. never heard of it before. wonder if we can get them here in Australia.
he said vette
Does he have anyone that could do this in Jacksonville, FL?
Martin will go there. The tint school where he teaches is there. You can schedule him.
@@ObsessedGarage Thanks!
@@ObsessedGarage Martin was just here and did my truck and Jeep. Great guy and even better work! Thanks for exposing us to an OG level tint guy!
4:55 What coating did he mention?
acelakid94 modesta
What % of tint is on that car?
15% and 70% on windshield
@@ObsessedGarage thanks!
I hate wet shrinking film 😤🤬
Dry shrinking all the way 🤗
Bryan Cardenas yes but dry shrinking side windows is rather pointless for the most part, the fingers to shrink are far easier than any windshield which is why they dry shrink windshield and back windows
That front tool carrier/bumbag is making me very nervous.... it freaks me out because all I’m thinking is it’s hitting and scratching the paint.... but I’m anal.... 😄😩. However, he’s good.
When he was jamming that soak rope in place i was praying he didnt scratch that dash.
These intros are so noisy and irrelevant.
my boii johnny sins
would closing the car and running the cabin air filter for a few minutes help reduce particles in the air? i wonder.
Amazing video!!!
