100% agree. I too have seen so many that claim they can tint or wrap a car but once I put them on a car it takes all of 5mins for me to tell them thanks but no thanks! Personally I find the good ones have two traits over the others. They love working on the hard cars so never shy away from them...

No, and not going to argue over it either even if Lloyds is trying to suck me into it :wink: I would pick XPEL over any other brand including Suntek. I simply answered someones question and based on the data available its a no brainer. - - - Updated - - - Love the stealth! - - - Updated - -...

Yeah, thats beautiful! Nice work.

+1 It can also be repaired. By applying touch up by a skilled detailer it can also be virtually unnoticeable. It gets filled in, sanded down, and polished out. Once done have them apply XPEL so it won't reoccur. If you don't you will have more than one to worry about later. Paint is soft on...

+1 +1 Thats price is for a full car. NWAS being one of those I am sure as they do outstanding work, I have seen it with my own eyes. No way Tesla can match that level of work. I do believe Tesla outsources their installs anyway so they technically offer paint armor but do not perform the work...

Warranty on XPEL is 10 years vs 7 on ClearGuardX. XPEL is proven to be best in class while little or no data exists on the other brand. I can't verify but was told by a very credible source ClearGuard failed (peeled/delaminated) within 3 years of install. Again, can't verify that but I take this...

Tint is not going to shrink once its installed and requires high heat when done anyway. Once heat gunned it will stay right where it is. The gap should be very small, anything over a 1/16 of an inch could be done better. Shaving it would have no gap but on a frameless door that rolls up like the...

Spot on Moe :biggrin:. Never met you but I agree 100% with your assessment. I wish I had your choice of words from the get go and maybe all the back and forth would not have taken place. Keep up the good work as I enjoy seeing it!

Yeah, i use a waterless car wash on the outside with spray way glass cleaner on the windows. I also wrap the interior in plastic so no water gets on them. Most shops I work for do not do that level of work. You can browse yelp reviews all day long and find people complaining about that kind of...

The ripples and smears are just the slip solution (Dish soap and water) used to install the film. Leave it outside for day and you should see them go away. You will notice they are less noticeable around the edges of the windows and rubber seal as those should be heat gunned so drier than the...

Tyler, I went back through some of your posts as I want to make sure I am seeing my posts from your perspective. I am a bit OCD at times so forgive me, I just wanted to make sure I was not in the wrong or could not see my behavior as I will man up and correct that if I did so. I am also not...

Not sure where I demanded anything I simply said they should back those numbers up. The discussion is about tinting a Model S not me, but its apparent a few of you even when asking me questions if you don't like the answers I provide even though they are 100% civil you get hostile. I simply...

I just reread my last posting and I don't see anything as to what your stating. I spoke subjectively and with truth so no need to get all internet hurt for no reason. Isn't a forum all about discussion? Where everyone can share their opinions even if they don't share your view? I certainly never...

I am not going to get all deep into pricing as that is a touchy subject for tint shops so don't want to offend others. Its a highly guarded trade secret and all and you don't know the handshake :biggrin:. Even in the back room on the tint forums nobody talks pricing, never understood why...

Not sure how you read that as defensive or how I am promoting any other specific product? I have many brands I would use on my own car I feel are great films, I don't carry all of them either. I am American through and through and will only use products from America whenever possible, proud to...
