[@Ammonymity1776]

I have tinted my own personal vehicles for years. When I started back in 2002, I removed the whole window! Hahaha but your video came across when I was refreshing myself on tinting because I just got a 2021 sierra denali and the tints are the first thing I have to do! You make such great videos and instructions are simple and presented perfectly! You have me as a subscriber now and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it man! You're a great tinter and a great KZbinr, keep it up! 🤙🤙🤙

[@jamshidsamavati3909]

[@kennywalsh1017]

I’m new to tinting and just got a job tinting for a dealership , your vids help a lot man. Thanks!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

+Kenny Walsh Great to hear!

[@Marrda]

they don't have a plotter and cutter program?

[@Gverrerob]

Are you still tinting for dealerships?

[@Sarah-hp2ty]

I'm so glad I found this video. It's best tutorial I've watched so far, I feel like I learned more in the first 2 minutes then the hours of other ones I've watched

[@zaqlone]

Fr tho

[@zaqlone]

No time wasting

[@michaelcordero39]

I do Window Tints in Fort Lauderdale. For V-Kool, Mainly Yachts and condos, started off doing cars 7 years ago. Keep up the great work and keep spreading knowledge, all your videos are helpful man! I support it.

[@bradschieber3162]

TintStuff, I have been watching all your videos since 2011. I learned everything I know about window tint from your channel. Thanks for posting such informative videos on such subject! I have been tinting windows for 6 years now going on 7! So rewarding seeing happy customers!

[@marilourivera4242]

Please, what tint paper to work with and what is the name of the company so that they send it to me, thanks

[@snguyn796]

perfectly explained on moving the tint over 1/2" and then back 1/4" to leave edges covered. well done.

[@RufusTBiscuits]

glad to see that you are back!

[@langhoatu81]

have not seen u for ages..i used to learn heaps from you..thought you dont do tinting anymore :) welcome back !!

[@consumerwil]

Dude.. its been like 3 years since you last posted... Glad you're back!!!! I use your techniques when wrapping my RC model boats :)

[@bryanwisniewski7244]

Glad your back. Almost worth driving to Michigan to have you tint my truck.

[@bransonzimmer452]

By the time u made it back to Michigan ur tint would be pealing lmfao

[@chriss9741]

Your videos have helped me alot in my journey of tinting my own.. i stilk messed up but they have helped alot

[@usa5655]

videos are getting better and better!! cant wait for the next vid!

[@FadeToBlackLLC]

Glad your back making Vids Matt

[@landon5098]

Thank you for all that you have taught me, i love the lessons and i love the tools you suggest. Keep it up👍🏼👍🏼

[@nomo576]

Thank you I'm just getting with new biz! Really appreciate your content!

[@danyo8023]

Im glad to see you back! Im sure like others, I to myself thought you died or something. Iol. I just so happened to look up tint removal vids for the rear. And mentioned you to my gf and decided to check out your page...and BAM...youre back! lol I look forward to more awesome vids man! Keep em cominnnn!

[@cuttingedgetint1250]

I use a marker for the sides. Then just cut 1/8 of an inch outside each line. That way you don't have to keep moving the template over and over again.

[@wolfy9005]

Did my first car yesterday, this would have saved me so much time had I found it. On the bright side, I can use it to fix the one window I messed up, and a window on the other car which is messed up. Not looking forward to removing the old tint.

[@EhvoOnGo]

the ad on this video dissed tf out of you 😂 “it was like youtube tinters just want to make money from yt and give you irrelevant info” 😭

[@DetroitTintStudio]

😂😂 what channel did the ad come from?

[@EhvoOnGo]

@@DetroitTintStudio for the life of me i can’t remember it was some almost bald dude talking about a course they were selling and he was like “these “tinters” just want to get a few bucks out of you” as he was scrolling through tinters videos and like 3 of yours were on there 😂

[@JBIRD575]

Great video glad too see ya back!!!

[@phboy78]

I love your channel, I’m just starting out and these videos help a lot!

[@yusufjamal7252]

Man i gotta job in tinting, your videos are helpful however in middle east things are different, we apply from down to up instead!

[@Dwbiege1987]

Your videos are awesome bro. Good work. I’m a fan of your talent!

[@urreafranklin494]

You make it look so easy!! I just did my own tint on my Durango.

[@ThermiteEngineer]

Because he did it to the outside of the car bruh, it should be applied to the inside

[@vispectra158]

@@ThermiteEngineer He didn't apply it anywhere yet.. He just cut it to the shape of the window before installing it to the inside. Also needs to be shrunk before installation.

[@scbeach1]

Thank you for the video and tips, I am beginner level still learning

[@charleyavalos100]

Appreciate your help in the demo for the side windows

[@Shifty379]

I've found this very helpful and I'm able to cut door glass so much better now. However I'm having trouble with my tint peeling at the top of the glass over time. I wonder am I putting my tint seem to close to the edge of the glass?

[@skouria3135]

Thats exactly what is happening, As soon as u lay it you can run your finger over the top to see if it snags.. If it does then you know the seal will pull it up too. When you lay your top edge let it be around an 1/8th of an inch from the top edge.

[@منوعاتثقافية-ب2ل]

Welcome back

[@msokes9]

Love the explorer. Got a ‘14 myself with 15 all around

[@nelsonpun]

wish i watched this before trying my own tint! I did the top cut first and i think that screwed me. Still ended up with an ok job for a first time. Not cutting that bottom and using it as the guid looks like a much better way to go

[@shempshoegrew4090]

Thanks! Love your vids!

[@petethevolcano]

Dang dude. Nice cinematography! Are we looking at a lot of 60fps shot footage used in the intro? Looks good.

[@TheBalloonTwister]

Very useful. Tricks of the trade. Thank You

[@emilydonley7815]

Finally back

[@isaaciriemusic]

Thanks again I had a pretty stressful situation because I wasn’t cutting right!!!

[@lonnybear1846]

Glad your back..do you have your own shop?

[@klpanawzad4634]

Waw i watched your vedio published in 2011 now watching you in 2018 ..

[@JBIRD575]

Try a black sharpie on both sides alot easier!!! And cut on a glass cutting board on your wall...!

[@jervy007]

You made it look to easy.. 😀 nice tutorial vid.

[@lohengrinknight]

Perfect! This video answered my questions about cutting tint film.

[@iced_out_hello493]

So in America use tint the out side? In New Zealand we tint the inside of it not out

[@daschiznit2828]

Hey Matt I was wondering what kind of razor blades you use it seems the ones that I get don’t cut as effortlessly as yours. Also what squeegee ? Iove the vids man glad you back btw. Fellow Michigander here lol

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Olfa or NT stainless steel blades. Blades for glass must always be stainless steel or the scratch. amzn.to/2D63SM9 How bout that 50 degrees to snow storm weather huh? lol

[@greentechnology7346]

Is the liner side always on the outside of the roll? and the tint one on the inside of the roll? Nice video!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Usually yes but some companies roll their film the other way. I will often peel the corner of the film to double check which is the liner side before cutting my film if I'm unsure

[@DigitalBathInAZ]

I came for the Ronald Jenkeez! I am dancing my ASS off whilst watching this video. I don't have a car so I have no need to tint. I don't even know what tint is used for. I just want to DANCE TO RONALD JENKEEZ!

[@ryanh3285]

Are pre cut tints a better idea for someone tinting for their first time?

[@DetroitTintStudio]

What would you like to see in the next video?

[@terrencep2912]

An explanation on your disappearance! love the vids

[@momentumtintdetail]

TintStuff, love the new shop and setup. If your taking requests, how about a non-arched eyebrow (sun strip).

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Thanks! i'll see what i can do about that one. I actually haven't done one without a plotter and even that isn't consistent

[@kylewasinger5705]

I know you’re covered it before, but how about shifting windows in some of the more complex vehicles? Or windows that are half covered by frame in the outside, and have a completely different shape on the inside?

[@seanashcraft6552]

Do a video on thick defrost back glass that cause “peanuts”

[@kevinestrada4294]

Wait this might be a dumb question sorry I’m verily learning ,so you don’t have to shrink unless the window curves ? And about windshield I watch your videos and you don’t have to add water and soap to it right just probably a soap bar and let it dry correct ? And if there’s bubbles try to even them out than heat them if they keep coming out or no ? Thanks

[@carmensanchez1414]

Have you ever thought of wrapping the end of your knife in electric tape so when you ride the top edge you don’t leave a cut in the top of the film all the way across

[@DetroitTintStudio]

It doesn't leave a cut in the film. i'm not putting much pressure against it. Also the liner is protecting the film in this instance.

[@carmensanchez1414]

TintStuff nice! Please post more videos! Would like to see more videos posted daily! Love your work!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Thank you! I'm working on it :)

[@sicc0707]

Haha. when i was wondering the same thing i would leave a mark on the top edge. I was going to ask about that but you beat me to it.. i had to changed my technique so i wouldn't leave a mark.

[@luke3275]

I’ve got a truck that i just bought with a home done tint job. It’s not bad on the side windows, but the windshield tint goes down way too far. If I just wanted to cut that higher, would it be roughly the same procedure?

[@brianmogle1121]

Great video

[@stephaneeganelle3438]

Quick question ! Where do u get your tint .. or what kind of tint to get for a begginger I’m 15 & I wanna tint .. just wondering what type of film to get and what sizes & how dark 💞

[@terryburton971]

Cool video man

[@joev8275]

What slip solution do you use? Or how much baby shampoo do you use with however much water?

[@danieltegas2217]

Nice work awesome.

[@legacyhealthcenter3442]

Very helpful information. What is the Name an Model of your plotter?

[@Mocredible]

Do you really have to shrink the tint of you cut it correctly?

[@jayinmi3706]

How about the Tint Stuff Official Drinking game? Every time Matt says "Put out a little blade," you drink. lol. Nice job on the Videos, Matt.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

+JayinMI thanks! add "alright" and "ok so" to that list! 😂 I've been editing out so many.

[@rhal44]

Ggood work 🔥

[@mansourbenhammou7751]

WE NEED ONE VIDEO WITH VW GOLF5

[@uniqueakyra777]

What to do if the people that tinted your car got all kinds of particles under it like short hair or small pieces of dust

[@StarWarsKrew]

nothing you can do, it will be stuck

[@thebarbar100]

What size film should I buy to tint the 4 side windows of a Toyota Corolla and the back window as well

[@tintst3298]

what blade angle , force and speed settings are you using please also what thickness or ply film you using thanks

[@panda8409]

What is the name of the white tape that u sometimes use ? Or what kind is it

[@juangarcia3847]

Great job

[@iistrafedgaming956]

[@KanakaUso96792]

Thank you 🤙🏽

[@linkkey7923]

Why after I cut small side I move tint over them cut

[@ashleydixon4761]

niceeee. just how i would do it!

[@TintWorksKelowna]

Great video! What sprayer are you using? It seems really nice. Hard to find a quality+ reliable product in Canada!

[@saladk82]

Awesome!!

[@kwelian1977]

How much should I get to tint a sedan for e.g. a toyota corolla?

[@abcmetal]

What I wonder since I have followed a how to diy training... that some tinters say you have to completely remove the window to get ''the best cut'' and the other tinters say thats bullsh!t. So... both say the endresult is the same for their technique. Is it just a objective meaning or is there a real theory behind both. Just dont see myself demount windows the whole day... would like your style more.

[@ThermiteEngineer]

Why you apply it to the outside of the car

[@ThermiteEngineer]

Now everyone finna put it on the outside. Mr big brain over here

[@Flombus]

How do you prevent the blade from grabbing the rubber gasket on the exterior? I have a bad problem with my blade cutting into the seal and it gives me really wavy/inconsistent edges when hand cutting which forces me to rely on a plotter.

[@JBIRD575]

Were you getting chunks of baby shampoo in your tint jobs is that why you got new filter???and hose???

[@marilourivera4242]

Please, what tint paper to work with and what is the name of the company so that they send it to me, ? thanks Sr.

[@damienminton4231]

What tint do I get, my back window is 26inches from top to bottom. I want to tint my own windows but I do not know where to get that size tint rolls

[@supplementkingbrand293]

If using a cutter what software do you recommend? Thanks 🙏

[@DetroitTintStudio]

+sahagivet water and a little j&j baby shampoo in this video

[@sahagivet]

Sorry I meant like what kind ok sprayer are you using.. lol

[@DetroitTintStudio]

3 gallon spray tank with a flexible hose and a brass spray nozzle. they sell them on most window tint tool websites.

[@MegaHowtoMan]

Can you recommend a tint? 2 ply?

[@sun9912]

Black

[@espressdealgustavo345]

Nice 👌

[@JBIRD575]

How do you prep the glass razor blades or white scrubby pads???

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Usually a plastic "Gator Blade" but ill use a razor blade if there is adhesives from stickers or other stuff

[@JBIRD575]

TintStuff thanks any paper towels for dirty Windows and seals?? Blue shop towels??

[@DetroitTintStudio]

+JBIRD575 I like fluffy microfiber towels. I think we have a bunch from Costco

[@JBIRD575]

TintStuff ok thanks do you wash microfibers before you use them or use right out the bag also no dryer sheets rite air dry only???
