How to Tint a Back Window

[@99shadows66]

After watching this video I have decided that this art form requires a lot of patience which I don't have. I am making an appointment with the local tint shop and letting them tint the windows on my car. Thank you for showing the world that the price tint shops charge to do this job is very fair. You are a true professional.

[@jasonjones3]

4am and I'm sitting here watching you tint a window... well done sir, I even watched from start to finish.

[@FancyPants43]

LOL 5:40 in the morning for me. Best video by far that I've seen on KZbin. Great attention to detail and highly informative. 👍 Kudos!

[@strosdetailingchannel]

1:45 for me, great video watched from start to finish.

[@josecastro1549]

3:26 am for me

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

I had no idea it was almost an hour till it finished and awoke from my zoned out state thinking about bubbles and defroster lines

[@jackjones6536]

3.40am here and I'm doing exactly the same lol

[@paulerice3342]

To be honest, when I noticed this video was an hour long, I did not want to watch it. However.... MAN AM I GLAD I WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO!!! Thank you. All my questions were answered in the video and your tips/skills has shown me how to do it RIGHT.

[@flyingmunk8956]

I just got doing my back window after watching this video. A couple tips 1. Dont buy cheap crap from your autopart store. You can get better stuff online for about the same price. Its worth it. 2. Take your time. This dude is a professional. Even at his slower pace for this video. He makes it look easy. Dont rush. 3. If you can take out some trim and your deck lid behind your seats. Do it. It was easy for my car and with the little extra effort made it more easy. 4. Seems like for me. Heat up the whole rectangle. Seems to make it less likely to get a wrinkle. I think that is what happen to me. Mine turned out pretty good. I have 1 wrinkle in it. Looks good as from 15 feet though. Lol

I came here to learn about tint and I’m walking away more prepared for life. I don’t have problems. I have rectangles. Thanks for the very info to video!

[@bozwayed]

Never thought that windows tinting could be so mesmerizing. Thank you Ralph for making this video. You are a true teacher and professional.

[@DuckyBee156]

After 4 FAILED attempts.. THIS VIDEO... Is what I needed to see before attempt 1... Made a pain in the arse job, a very simple and somewhat therapeutic ordeal.. Thank you!

Tricks of the trade!! Golden info! Thanks for the knowledge

Lmao I feel the same thing I’m trying to “study” and this man does it well just very different😂

[@hblaaa8011]

the blue dotted pen thing didn't work the second time u drew the rectangle on the window.

[@hblaaa8011]

me too

[@nealebrown167]

I have been tinting for well over 20 years and have jumped on the net to see what others are doing! You sir have nailed it exactly how I like to do the job. Too many others do a "5 minute job", you and I know the result is not the same. Great Work and great teaching skills!

[@JDJD-mw9rr]

Could you tell if that was 5 or 15% tint on that lexus?

[@seanphillthephotosgrimsley2888]

Today was day 3 of tint training for me and we worked on the back glass. I did 2 cars. A Dodge Charger and a Kia Forte. They kicked my butt. Tomorrow I do it again 😁

[@jfdesignsinc.innovationsid1583]

This guy is unbelievable ... a legit true professional at his best

[@ms.mystique4388]

You’re an awesome teacher! I love how your explanations were clear & concise. I never thought I’d be thoroughly engaged watching a tinting video but, watching your techniques along with your instruction has been very pleasurable. Thank you for taking the time to show us how it’s done by a true professional, you’ve definitely gained a sub. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@ulyseknight7674]

The difference between top and inside now which is the part that goes to the glass and which is the part that peels off how do you tell by looking at it

[@drue6360]

This is artistry, this isn’t just tinting a window.

[@thefunexaminedlife1145]

Great video. Thanks for taking us all the way through it!

[@jremeee2011]

This is the most knowledgeable window tinter in the world

[@cyberfrostgaming7704]

I just started my new job as a tinter and I'm very happy I come to find these videos to help me see what others do out of practice very professional and very informative

[@larocmedia]

Absolutely the best video on how to tint a back window that I've seen so far! The technique is spot on! Thank you!

[@imdeplorable2241]

I agree. I swear, after watching this video, I feel like I could do this myself, even though I've never done it before in my life. I think that is the sign of a true teacher, a real expert, and true professional. Excellent, Excellent video. 👍👍👍

[@puppy2ful]

Rarely do I sit through an entire video of this length without getting distracted. This had my entire attention from start to finish.

[@JeffMedved]

I've learned so much here I think I could do this myself. But at the same time I've learned so much that I can appreciate the cost of having a professional do it for me.

[@wespetit6694]

Thx mate, this is 4 sure the best video there is out there. In fact, this is the 1 & only video u need to tint a rear window urself. 4 the first time in my life iv finaly did it myself whitout ripping off the film from the window in full rage and kick it away so hard and leave my car behind with so much hate. My window is so sweet now, thx to u m8. Ty ty ty ty ty. Greetz. From belgium

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Thank you sir.

[@thisandthat7927]

I watched this whole thing. Thanks for the detailed instruction. What I have learned is some things are best not diy and it’s going to be extra money well spent to have this done professionally.

[@kevincolorado93]

I appreciate how thorough you were and how well you explained every step. Really wish I would have stumbled on this before my first attempt at doing my back window.

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

What a fantastic JOB ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mycuzvinny]

This guy should do a tint Master Class on LinkedIn. One of the best produced, thorough DIY videos for tint on YT. He provides so many important details.

[@trentfranks4507]

I don’t know why my fellow tinters hate on Ralph. To the new tinters in the world understand there is a lot of jealousy. I learned how to tint from a tinter with 30 years experience. He and Ralph have very similar practices. Ralph is a better teacher so listen people this stuff works. Good content. This Lexus and the Camry counterparts are very tough back windows. My training car was my old 01 Camry. Kicked my butt, although most common cars in today’s market are cake in comparison.

[@flyingmunk8956]

Man this is a good video. It's worth the hour or so to sit down and learn. I feel way more confident now

[@tintville]

Dude your about the slowest tinter ive ever seen in my 15 years tinting. The time you took to do a back window i would have had 2 entire vehicles done. But hey... you gave it your best shot hahaha

[@tintville]

Guess that makes u a tint hack huh?

[@archl973]

I ended up sleeping past 1am watching. very precise and quality work. Thanks for sharing Sir!

[@conradmorin8965]

It is nice to see some people in the industry doing it right the first time and every time, all the while taking pride in their work, I really enjoyed this video and I found it very educational, and one can appreciate what is truly involved in its application; not as easy to do as one might imagine.

[@Blood_Red_Existence]

Nice video. It's good to see someone who takes pride in his work. I've had my car tinted a few times and it's always a turn and burn process. They just wanna get em in and get em out, and in the process do a mediocre job. I wish I was out by you because I'd gladly give you my money to have my car done correctly. Great work.

You perfected that window! Anyone with anything negative to say is a super hater, no lie about that! When you went up underneath or started heating up that tint. I was saying to myself that you have to mess up on something. But your skills proved you are a tint master! That back window had me sweating when you pulled it back away from the window. Lol Also, I haven't used a heat gun yet to tint any windows. But I need to learn how to use it properly. I'll mess around and burn a hole through it.

This is a tricky question... sometimes you can sand them to minimize that effect. If you sand them too much, you will sand them off.

do you like having your own tint business? I am really kicking around going to school for it I've been working in the medical equipment field for 14 years and looking to do something different.. I always had an interest in window tinting how do you like it?

[@bloodsweattones]

yes I like it. I have a full time job and have my tint shop as a side business now but my plan is to do more and more cars and eventually take the step to make this my fulltime job. It takes a lot of time to get experience and routine and taking everything with small steps is really the key for me. I am still a beginner at this but Im working my way up.

[@lonnybear1846]

did you go to a school to learn how to tint that's what I am planning on doing it's $1,700 for 5 days

[@bloodsweattones]

Yeah I went to a 3-day course here in Sweden. That gave me a license but 3 days is only tip of the iceberg. KZbin and trial and error is really the way to go. For every car I do everything goes a little smoother and the result a little better. They say that you can see yourself as a professional installer after 1000 cars. Just 990 to go 🐙

[@ChipWood127]

Sir, what you discarded from the bottom trim could have been a glare strip, $15-20... The extra 3-4 inches on each side will add up to a roll before you know it... I get an extra vehicle or two out of a roll than most of my comp... Ain't pickin on you, bud. Merely an observation... When I do the doors, I always find myself saying "Snap snap, double snap," ever since I watched that video.. Now I envision coming up with a dity that has something to do with rectangles, and maybe even triangles since you kept saying it... LOL! Hey, awesome phenomenal video, Sir... You really helped me with this one... Old school and completely self taught, I was doing every thing problematic that you went over... Especially working one finger at a time and having the pinch issues... Thank you so very much... Chip...
