Martin is so comfortable and smooth in front of the camera, to bad you couldn’t find a position for him in your channel. I could careless about tint but love watching these videos.
It’s so nice to actually watch someone who is skilled at a trade and takes time installing a quality product. Something I unfortunately rarely get to witness.
Xpel is best film! I love them so much. High quality film. I have this on my previous Lexus Rx. I love it. Hot day 90-100*F Never get hot into the car. High recommended film Xpel Plus.
Wish you could tint the windshield here in Australia. Makes sense for such a hot climate. But nope! The nanny state says its too dangerous to drive with a tinted windshield. Crazy.
Even some states in US don't allow it. Just do it anyway. If you do a 80% or 70% tint, it'll hardly be visually noticeable. I'm in NSW and I definitely plan on doing it.
Could Martin, in a future video or update, go a bit more in depth about his technique for placing the film inside while removing the protective film layer? I think I understand it but... Not really.
I live in MA and we have an inspection stocker thats placed right on the windshield. I currently have LLumar ceramic tint, any recommendations on how to remove the sticker before getting a new one ?
Hey Matt, do you get that rainbow effect looking out the xpel tint with polarized sunglasses? I have Xpel prime xr plus on all my windows (except windshield) and I love it, but don’t have polarized glasses to test it out lol
@@bringyourwoodscrews I think this happens regardless of the brand of tint. You can get the rainbow effect looking at screens too with polarized glasses. Now... should I get my windshield tinted and sacrifice polarized glasses? haha
@@daaneel I love polarized glasses but also love my 50% tinted windshield. Tried to live with the combination for a couple weeks but it was too much. Needed a new set of shades anyway, so bought a pair that just stays in that car. It's the only one with the windshield tinted.
Nice pro job-since he does not appear to be wearing gloves of any kind, wonder how he prevents fingerprints from being trapped on the inside surface of the film.
Xpel Prime XR Plus on Matt’s two loves in the M3 and GT3RS so it must be legit :) Initial impressions of the tint? Debating between this and LLumar Stratos. Do you still believe Suntek and STEK have the upper hand in clarity of PPF vs Xpel Ultimate Plus?
My initial reaction is that it's very good. Whatever you do, don't put their anti-static cleaner on it. That smears like crazy. I think STEK is the best clarity. XPEL is still far behind the Suntek and STEK.
Would any sort of tint mess with heads up display equipped vehicles? Thinking of getting the F80 done and I believe I only have access to Suntek Window Film.
@@Psgamer-vu2hp I have the fronts 35% thinking of doing front windshield 80% or more. Zero police interference. I've been to Greece, Italy, Balkans, Germany no issues. Don't go below 35% for the front windows and less than 80% for windshield. Sun kills me and the car gotta do something about it. Nobody will pull you over unless the front windshield is dark. Do nanoceramics so it's clear as glass. IF you must go fake an eye prescription to have it tinted.
But yet surgeons will cut you open with a surgical knife....because they are trained to do so.... Just like hes trained to work with a razor blade around cars.
Donald Duck005 Interesting but weak. How do you keep from cutting the exterior glass if you are pressing against it with the tip of a razor blade. Logic says there will be a mark on the exterior glass.
@@bertraminc9412 the razor doesn't cut the glass. Go back to what I said about being trained. You don't cut downward, he has it at an angle so the blade slides across the glass, not cutting into it. Do you watch a surgeon do his work and critique it? No because you have no clue what a surgeon is doing.
@@iluvmyeski How do you know that I'm not a surgeon? Of course a razor blade marks glass. Metal is harder than silica by far. Anything harder than glass will mark glass if it's rubbed over it. You may not see most marks with the naked eye but it will in fact mark it. There are many ways to protect the underlying glass but none are used here. That's because the industry is high volume, low profit. You just have to either discuss the process in full detail and demand steps ahead of install or find an installer who understands this and protects the glass. This is the same as DirecTV coming out and pounding a pole into your front yard to install your satellite dish... if you don't call their bullshit and tell them to install a proper bracket on the side of the house and not on the roof, you'll get a fucking pole, right in the middle of your lawn. If you don't insist on it the installer will do what he does on every other car to keep the speed and revenue going. And no amount of "training" as you say will prevent mistakes and errors. He may not have marked this glass but he's certainly marked glass before and he will certainly mark glass again. That's the nature of fast installs with razor close to glass. I've had my window cut by many installers of both windows and tint. Matt seems to understand this and is ok with this process or he wouldn't have done it. If he had a problem with it he would handle it. My comment doesn't have to deal with anyone standing in front of me, working on my 230k car so I don't have to worry about it. This guy is not taking proper steps to protect the car.. he is a high volume medium level care/preparation installer of good window films and in this case installing on a top quality sports car. His finished work may be good but his prep is not well thought out. Only people who work hard all their lives for large earnings and cars like this appreciate what it takes to properly care for a car like this. When you hand it over to someone who doesn't share that feeling, this is what you will get if you don't discuss it and demand proper preparations steps. Matt is obviously aware of this and is ok with the entire thing. Actually, with Matts OCD, I'm very impressed with his restraint and patience with this kind of thing!

This dude is a pro. Refreshing to see some who not only works hard, but smart.

I love this guy, he's such a pro
I'm gonna have to check this guy out. Only a 3 hour trip. Thanks for sharing....
Dude is good at what he does. Matt let’s get him to Atlanta!!
He is a pro, wish I could come to Florida and have him do my car!
A good reason to take a vacation there.
Don't he's super expensive
@@christophebuisson7536 He has found his target niche of customers.
If you go to a tint shop with good reviews, you will receive the same exact work.
Nice job done by a professional! Need to find someone like that in CA!
Very informative video. He is very good and very composed. Looking forward to the radar detector installation video. Mark
Xpel is best film! I love them so much.
High quality film.
I have this on my previous Lexus Rx. I love it. Hot day 90-100*F Never get hot into the car.
High recommended film Xpel Plus.
Uncle Fester is very thorough
I'm always checking the shelves for wolfs
I tint professionally as well. No matter how light you cut on windshield it will scratch. Use a marker first then cut on wall or table

Do clear tints . Nanoceramics are the best but if you can't afford them, 75% and up is pretty much as clear as normal.

I wish he can come down to West Palm Beach, nice job!
I may have commented about the box on the mirror... 😂
Time to change your intro and include the reving of that C7 monster
What kind of light are you using? XPEL light or different brand?
50 is too dark - you're right to go lighter Matt. I did 50 on my Land Cruiser and could barely tell the headlights were on at night.
your eyes are bad
@@iluvmyeski Shouldn't you have told me the headlights in the Land Cruiser are bad? Doesn't matter both would be wrong.
RobRed's Expedition Lab yeah your eyes are bad.
i have 50 on my windshield and it is fine at night. mo problems at all.
20% all day here

Had to purchase new shades (non polarized) after tinting my windshield.
I don't often wear sunglasses, so I'm not sure.

Is the film on backwards?
At 9:45 he removes the backing film and it is facing inside the car and not between the film and the window
Thinking the same thing. He must turn it around off camera after the backing is removed..
Nice pro job-since he does not appear to be wearing gloves of any kind, wonder how he prevents fingerprints from being trapped on the inside surface of the film.
He sprays his hands down with slip solution.
@@ObsessedGarage Roger that.
Obsessed Garage slip solution = Johnson baby shampoo. Couple squirts in your bottle works great
That was awesome!

I've never owned a vehicle with a tinted windshield. Does 70% really make much of a difference?
Yes, it takes the edge off. I find it to be very good.
A pro no doubt
I'd love to see you try a 50%...
Spoke too soon...
Would any sort of tint mess with heads up display equipped vehicles? Thinking of getting the F80 done and I believe I only have access to Suntek Window Film.
It does not.
What does he cover the Alcantara with.
Leave the sticker on Matt! It’s 15hp!!! Don’t do it!!! (We know you will)
No chance...
This dude is good. So what does homeboy drive? :D
I came because I saw that soap thing
Theres gonna be specks in the film installing it like that
How are you liking Xpel tint?
It's okay.
Obsessed Garage is it worth getting the Xr Plus compared to the Xr? I’m getting my M2 Comp in a couple weeks. I know there’s a big price difference.
You should hire him...
Matt s private PT. Looks jacked.
He has his own business. why would he want to work for someone else.
Which radar do you use
Uniden R7
I've got 20% on my windshield
Bling...Bling...
very meticulous and calculated. you can tell this guy takes pride in his work.
Why cant he be in Ft Lauderdale area?!? I dread taking my car to anyone knowing it'll come back a mess.
Man this kind of work you have to be extremely careful with who you let do this. I can only imagine how quickly this can go bad.
Anyone else thought he was moving a bit too fast with that razor?
Isnt this illegal
Ps4gamer7438 They covered that in the last video. It’s a “gray” area in the law.
Depends, if you're the droids they're looking for then yes
shiznut123 thats amazing, too bad in EUROPE i only have in the back windows not even the front not think about windshield

Be careful, bank still own that car, don't scratch it
christophe buisson shut up guy, you have a leased Hyundai Sonata.
That's not how financing works. I own the car. The bank has a lien. Just like a home, or commercial credit line, or any other capital that is raised.
