Walmart Ceramic Tint Should Be ILLEGAL!!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

😱 "You didn't give it time to dry!" I ended up leaving it on for the week, the haze never got ANY better. I've tested dozens of films including other Black Magic tint from Walmart and thoes videos are on this channel. never had a haze problem in thoes. I am very familiar with ceramic haze and just didn't want to wait a week to post the video. If you think I'm just product bashing and don't believe me. no worries, it's only $20 to check urself. I would suggest their cheaper option instead, even cheap dyed films won't have this haze. I will be more sensitive to Walmart film testing in the future 😂

Really good review of the product. Back in my day, SunGard was the most optically clear tint available and all I ever used. I would just tell anybody if you’re thinking about tinting your windows clean them scrape them clean them scrape them rinse and repeat about 10 times and when you think your windows are clean, rinse and repeat about five more times. Beyond that, have a professional do it. Have a great day man.

I had my car professionally tinted with ceramic tint and wasn’t any hazing on any window.

If not to return and get all the tint replaced. Really wasn’t an issue with my tint install, was a few “bubbles” of fluid that quickly dried out and were a non issue but really the tint is super clear.

It definitely could be but I suspect it was the product. It would be interesting to see if using a quality product to adhere it to the window makes a difference. I suspect nothing will change though due to how much heat it blocked out. The haze is likely why it blocks so much heat.

@@87teggy yeah thats what we are saying. It gets better a day or two or three after being in the sun depending where you live. The normal walmart tint (not ceramic) is Plenty good considering it costs basically 5$ per window. The most important thing is getting the window Clean, like scrape it with a razor blade Then wash it then use a microfiber and make sure its perfect. Then you have to use as MUCH soapy water as possible, i use dishsoap and water in an old spray bottle. You can separate the tint from the backing using tape on the corner and you peel it back and fold the tape so you have an easy grab to peel it off and you'll know which way the tint should face. It goes on the inside and I cut it large and install it and get bubbles out Then I go back was a razor and trim perfect. The trick is rolling the window down to do the top, then you roll it up and do the bottom and its IMPORTANT you don't roll your windows down for a day or 2 until its dried. Thats it.

[@420frankp]

My thoughts. Read the directions. I dont care how are knowledgeable you think you are there is always room to learn something new. There is no way that tint is that bad.

I believe you're a tint installer, because you look like one. But you don't know what you're talking about, or you're talking it to literally. Obviously you can have too much soap. If you add a cup of soap to 12 oz of water, it won't work very well. But adding 0.5 teaspoons to a tablespoon (6x as much) isn't going to make a difference. Squeeze in a teaspoon of soap and you'll be fine

Use Johnson's baby shampoo ( without conditioner ! ). It can even be the cheap store-bought look-a-like brand name baby shampoo. Use half teaspoon, for Windex bottle, shake well.( Only put enough shampoo to allow tint to barely move, when first placed on glass , doesn't immediately stick). Baby shampoo is the only thing you want to clean window tint with. Use 100% cotton t-shirt, some paper towels will scratch tint. Any car with factory E Coating, Glazing, will scratch very easily, when cleaning with razor blade, or scrub pad. (Ford vehicles 80&90 ) Windex removes tint. If window tint is purple and full of bubbles that means it has been cleaned with Windex. The ammonia in Windex removes the adhesive on tint.

NOT SURE...this is the same thing we would tell our customers about the haze or streaking or clouds in the tint...give it a few days in the sun and it will clear up and it always did. In over 30 years of tinting we never did really figure out why the tint would do that because it did not always do that and we always used the same brand of tint Solar Gard now owned by Saint-Gobain North America. We are in Kentucky and it seemed the higher the humidity that day the better the chance the tint jobs that day would haze up. I see other post on here saying I used this brand or that brand and it was never hazy... I say ''SO ?'' what difference does it make if it goes away and never comes back...none . Now this guy says that he went ahead and left it on for a few days ? and the haze never went away then that would be a problem. Did he cause the problem by using so much of the solution that came in that little packet? I don't know. For a while, we were told to only use Dove dishwashing soap in our water bottles to help in moving the tint around on the glass but then it got to where the tint companys only recommend Baby Shampoo. If I was using a high output hand pump spray bottle I would use a cap full of baby shampoo in it and never had problems. We also sold tint over the counter, by the foot, for our customers that wanted to do it themselves. If any of you out there have been tinting windows for a long time...this will give you a hint about how long I have been tinting windows...when I first started tinting automotive windows the only color they offered/made was the silver mirror finish, it came with NO BACKING to peel off and no hard coat to keep it from scratching as easy and the glue that held the tint on the window came in a little plastic bottle and you had to mix it with water and spray the glue on by hand ! I also think that dinosaurs still walked the earth lol. Detroit Tint guy is at least trying to help those new to tinting a little help in this video and should be cut some slack but also taken with a pinch of salt. And watch out for the pros on here that still thinks he tinted both sides of the glass. BOZ

[@michaeljlyons3773]

For your heat test you left the plastic liner on the tint wouldn't that affect the results of the test?

[@theadventuresofzerotomillions]

I was thinking the same thing initially, but the likely answer comes from the glass. The film limer was a fraction the thickness of the auto glass, so the numbers can be presumed to be offset.

[@BraxEvans]

The heat reduction test wasn't accurate due to the air gap. If you actually stuck the film to the no tint glass you would probably get different results

[@winstonpoplin]

Exactly. Physics.

[@dinadeira]

No he wouldn't because its not measuring temperature, it's measuring the heat output (basically the light energy from the lamp). As long as the tint is in front of the lamp, it shouldn't make much of a difference.

[@StreeterBS]

Yeah, air gaps are specific to lessening conductive/convective heat. That test specifically measures infrared radiation, and air gaps have no effect on radiation heat.

I put Black Magic tint on my truck back in 2013 or 2014.

That's crazy. I've used that exact tint on 3 old vehicles and have never had that type of haziness. Not even close. I'm not sure what went wrong here, but that cheap tint is not as bad as what this video makes it seem. It's definitely not pro grade, but if you don't want to invest much on an old junker, you most likely will not have that milky color using this tint. Something went wrong here

Try actually tinting the glass on the tester, I could imagine the film and air in between has something to do with your low numbers as kind of acting like a reflector between the glass and film.

[@wisdomfox857]

Has alot to do with im guessing his getting paid by the company to do this

[@dinadeira]

No that shouldn't affect it cause he isn't measuring the actual temperature which would be affected by the air gap. He is basically measuring the light energy which should be basically unaffected by the air gap.

[@BPoweredLove]

2:25 With what little I truly remember from my thermodynamics class and more from just real-world experience, I'm wondering if there's a significant amount of heat reduction due to the barrier of air (an inch or so?) between the glass and where you held up the tint. Maybe not. I'm not sure.

[@largesizejellyfish3014]

Its measuring the infrared.

Yes that was bugging me too. Air gap = massive heat reduction

[@aegiscaleb]

Great job! I did the same with the mirror tint, but used the tinted security glass in order to help prevent a break in. It doesn't go into the framing which would provide the best coverage. It does do a great job as we get sun from our windows on the west and east side.

[@lechoix88]

It's normal to have a little haze on car windows for a day or two during the curing/drying period after a film application... sun and heat will tighten the film as it dries (or you can use a Light Booth, or drying gun to speed process up). I've always used 3M products, never had a haze issue on any of my tint jobs. Have to say, the Walmart product DOES NOT look safe for use on automotive windows!! Like you're looking thru sunglasses with cheap lens.

Baloney. You never get what you pay for. If you pay higher than average you always get less than you pay for, and if you buy the cheap stuff you usually get more than you pay for. If yo pay more for a product because of the brand you're a gullible idiot.

[@olesart-orlandoramos4338]

* NOTE: With all do respect perhaps you should post a disclamer that in all honesty perhaps part of that haze is the result of the soapy solution that has yet to completely evaporate and also your quick rushed job and not properly and effectively sqeegeeing everything out! Just saying! Am certain after fully drying out it is not as bad. Obviously you cant really expect the equal result as that as professional & more expensive film. Logic & commonsense folks. Just saying.

[@amzarnacht6710]

It'd be damn nice to have optically clear film (0%) that provides that 70% or more heat reduction. The car manufacturer already tinted the glass slightly and it does 'okay' but more is always better so long as it doesn't make things darker.

[@awo1fman]

Yes, and it's easily possible since the visible tint has nothing to do with infrared transmission and vice versa. I tried to get professionals to tint my windows, but none of them carried any tint that was legal, much less safe for driving at night. So my windows are still untinted. The auto manufacturers still haven't figured out that glass roof panels don't need to be so dark that they may as well be solid metal, either. And they still let too much heat in because visible tint is irrelevant. Give me glass that I can actually see through, and just put a coating or layer on it that blocks infrared. It's not rocket science! Meanwhile, they *have* finally figured out that UV is what causes most of the interior damage, so contemporary auto glass *does* do a decent job of blocking that...

[@chrish7336]
