Ha, this guy made this look easy. I used to do tinting when I was younger and it's a definite skill to do it well.

[@ToddKonitzer]

Ok I am the guy talking in the video. Renee didnt want to talk because he doesn't like to talk on video. So off camera Renee would explain what he was doing and edited it out. The owner asked me to do explaining. I think it is a great video for DO IT YOURSELF tinters.

[@libertoir808]

Amazed how few people bother to watch this excellent video before adding ignorant comments.

[@Summerseagle]

Best informative step bye step window tint video I've seen so far... !

[@amoney2007]

The man doing the tint seems like he is having a bad day and is annoyed AF with other dudes questions. lol.

[@toolbar71]

[@Mrsquick]

[@jeromeaskew4856]

[@94SexyStang]

Good video guys, slow and steady!

[@danolt87]

Thanks a lot ! That's something that I've been searching for a long time! Great job and very edducative! Now I know how to do this! As about the others that use to comment criticizing, take my advice : if you can do it better, show us, orelse, just shut up! Thanks again !

[@raiderman28]

that is old school, nobody does wet shrinking anymore. everything is dry shrink now, it keeps you from boiling the tint and damaging the hardcoat. You would wet the glass and scrub it with a bounce dryer sheet, let it dry and wet only middle part. then work from middle down and middle up like he did in the video. it's actually much easier to dry shrink, and if you crease film, you just lift and re-shrink and you can get most creases out. good video !!

[@cherryamescat]

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

[@panikdrumrguy]

Ive seen people use a hairdryer to remove a dent out of a plastic bumper, yea it will work but it will be more time consuming.

[@johnagorman]

[@cincomorales]

Great job i love it! If you were close i would it take my cars to you!

[@ravynx]

Awesome, they got the marketing guy to try and explain techniques and solutions on window tinting... "nailed it" lol

[@antoinetinker690]

[@HassanAlheibi]

Nice job I learned a lot from you guys go ahead. Next time if you don't mind put the camera inside to se all the details .

[@motolola]

In the case of some cars, There is the break light inside the mirror, which adds more complexities for DIY

[@sergiodavidacostaramos6116]

Great Video Guys. thank you for the help

[@BMACVAGS]

Good video, LIKED!!

[@OJtheOZ]

Nice very helpful video

[@tintdaddy]

Nice work.

[@quean2010]

First off if you know anything about paint you know the clear is the protection layer. It keeps the base color from fading and protects it from chips, scratching, ect... Yes he may be unprofessional by placing his tools on the car but does not hurt a thing. Ever heard of color sanding. Its were you purposely sand the clear (scratching it) to buff it later making a mirror like finish. Scratches in clear no big deal, scratches down into color bad deal. Still he should use a protection pad. As far as the plotter machine goes for cutting tint. Waste of time! You still have to shrink the film and final cut it to fit. Saves you no time at all. You have to go through program, pick windows you want done, load film and wait for plotter to cut out. Could have half a car tinted just as good if not better by the time machine gets done.

[@Rajgaragesautocares]

gas heat gun work?if work then what type of gun is commanded?plz i need reply of this question thanks

[@buzerk51]

What did you use to shrink it some people use baby powder I've seen others use deorderant help please almost got one today but having trouble on the corners? ??? HELP PLEASE !!!

[@Playa6936]

That was so awesome

[@HolbergEM]

LOL...That dude is not happy at all;)

[@luiscuevas111611]

Great video:)

[@nathanpoole3515]

Oh this is the proper way

[@CrazyforCruiser]

I saw you used computer to precut the tint for ultima but then when it came to tinting you used a new sheet from the roll to tint the back glass?

[@c5quared626]

they were just making an example of how inferior hand cutting is. didnt you see the side by side comparison. i think he did pick up the hand cut mind you. the customer will be piiiissed

[@mchs-ml1yc]

Why do I get peanut bubbles in my rear window tint I cleaned it ???

[@mrotim21]

hey, I would like to know where I can buy the computer program with all that measures ? And how much is it cost?

[@sdsoler]

right rene??

[@briancurry5850]

which side of the tint do shrink on a back glass

[@sam111880]

hey, got a thought can you uses the window tin to make sun glass from regular glass

[@birdman3931ny]

well done

[@caddi70]

I tried to pre-shrink my mirrored tint for the back and it wouldn't shrink. I did the best I could then I installed it and it still wouldn't shrink. I gave up and pulled it off. I guess I'll go old school and do it in halves and put the seam behind the defrost bars

[@ZakDeckich]

decent window tinting but know have to get all the scratches out on the trunk.

[@Ron-h4l]

looks easy with the precut film

[@thetalentconnect3027]

Can I get by with using a cheap harbor freight heat gun?

[@keithc728]

What does the defroster do when it heats up?

[@jasonjackets1709]

whats the program called? to get the perfect car window specs

[@benfranklin1926]

Do not razor blade the back window you will destroy the window defrost

[@tonyduncil3115]

That's why your not tinting leave it to the pro I scrape daily

[@allewis6153]

A1 u for got to mention that u need to heat shrink ur computer cut patent as well

[@Swenser]

I've seen a tip that it's better to have defroster on throughout the whole procedure. Anybody do that?

[@ghost2132]

How much would it cost to get my saab 2001 9-3 windows done

[@arod8596]

200

[@clockwork_1773]

Which side do you put down after you wet the window to shrink it?

[@shawnarellano5730]

Clockwork_Ø clear side is up so when you shape and put it on temporary glass you peel clear off and walk it to car

[@EVILWS666]

Holy crap, watch the damn paint Renae

[@tristenfletcher577]

hey where did you get tha thing that hold your tint roll

[@LADODGERS32373]

Food4less

[@FolientuningTV]

Super 👍

[@traineespark]

what car make again? a Neece-on?

[@MrFixBroken]

I took my car in to have it done professionally, but they cut around the light in the back window. They said it was too close to the glass and they didn't want to be liable for removing it. Is this normal? I don't like it.

[@learnhowtotint]

I normally tint behind the brake lights - looks a bit amateur if u leave it.

[@sergioarmendariz1693]

Same here, but the computer cut has both options for a full back glass, and the back glass with the brake light cut out, I guess it depends on how confident they are about taking it out, usually if it has to come out, the lights are just held in by either a couple of screws of clips

[@thesilveralchemist]

Hewas surprised when he asked how long it would take for someone to do who has never tried it before and they answered 30 minutes. It probably took him way longer since he said an hour is they were struggling

[@travishunter161]

What percent tint is that?

[@juanparrilla7970]

wht heat gun is tht

[@kevinwatson1049]

any one know of a window tinting school in NC

[@gurminderbiling3101]

What's the thing his using at 11:15. The name of the tool?

[@christopherbayne5016]

15:00

[@Random-rt5ec]

Excellent video - I have 2 cars to tint and the local shop wants $300 each. I can buy the tools and quality tint for $120 saving me $480 - Of course the trade off is I will give up a full day of my time to install the tint.

[@deminovic2029]

Super

[@kevinworkman2742]

winging it NOICE!

[@FrisCosdf]

Right Rene?

[@champagneshowers1486]

what is that glass thing he lays the tint onto? is there a specific name for it?

[@OrswaiN]

I think its just a piece of plexiglass...

[@sergioarmendariz1693]

In the shop I work at, we just have regular rectangles of glass hanging on the wall, nothing specific

[@champagneshowers1486]

thanks

[@sergioarmendariz1693]

Just realized your post was from 7 months ago, ha sorry man, hope I answered your question if it still needed to be!

[@champagneshowers1486]

yea it still helped me out appreciate man haha

[@briancurry5850]

new company what should I charge for labor cost$ for a car not the cost of the tint live in Huntington west Virginia

[@wamiquef5192]

Yeah you don't "come back with a razor blade and scrape any debris thats in there" for the rear window. Say goodbye to your defrosters if so.

[@mastertinter731]

Not a bad video. However, plotters cutting out the film are way overrated! I have used most cutting software and I still have better cuts freehand. The only exception might be Film Design.

[@waynelambert9319]

💯💯

[@joetheboos]

why hair drier won't work ?

[@dbey8422]

It will work, it just takes longer.

[@gsukjdakid]

Hair dryer does get hot enough

[@fizahussain7819]

Why Doesn't That Renee Guy Talk?

[@puds682]

Renee should of done the video

[@koch4070]

Be careful of the shops who use computers to cut tint, no matter how perfect the computer cuts the tint, the seals shrink over time, I took an older truck to a guy who did it on computer, there was a 1/8" gap in some places. He said he can't fix it because he can only use what computer cut, so I made him rip it off. A bunch of fly by night shops opening up and using computers and haven't did it old school way like this guy, he knows how it's done but beware of new shops, they have no idea what to do if computer doesn't cut it right..

[@mayaroque6476]

gesus after spending 1000sounds of dollars u still have to cut the machine cut precut AND THE MACHINE DOESNT PREHEAT THE MATERIAL ON THE REAR WINDOW?

[@estebanvelazquez161]

That was the wrost , he really mest up that corner jajajaja much better way to do it

[@smolds87]

Razer blade on the interior is a baaaaaaad idea! your defroster wont work of you cut through the heating element.

[@ascendcuh]

plastic razor blades work

[@blakesweeney1023]

I've had the rear window in my car tinted for over 10 years. Used the rear defroster countless times through the winters and never had an issue with the tint.

[@eduardoalonso57]

I would be annoyed too, nothing major to be stressed about but the guy middle manned him, the guy doing all the work might as well explain his process .

[@ksks9344]

i cannot get why they did put it outside first after doing all the cleaning if need to keep it inside..cant we just clean inside and do it

[@Emmanuel_God_with_us]

You clean on the outside because thats how you shape the tint, and you need it flush on the window as you shape it.

[@RedxLilxSleepy]

yeah go inside to a limited space and shrink fit the film, genius!

[@iluvmyeski]

Manny Sun You never done it before and your going to tell someone who has been doing a long time how to do it.

[@scarinflictor]

Just to contour the film, its too hard to trim once inside.

[@husseinabboud3677]

So your just showing off your software snd mschine? Cuz this video was full of just you pointing out obvious.

[@rtarangelo1]

You use a razor blade on the inside back window bye bye rear window defroster

[@IraHayesIraHayes]

LMAO "used a pin and poked holes in the window tint" ROFL!

[@learnhowtotint]

Not my way but as long as the customer is happy.

[@DZEyoyo123]

You really shouldn't tint over the high-mount brake light.

[@Nooooooo163]

DZEyoyo123 how come? And what do you mean? Like just have a hole where the light would be?

[@charlieone604]

Good video but why didn't he cutout the space for the stop lamp?!

[@DeAltijdTeLaatGuy]

Man 30 minutes😂 bro that was 4 hours for me

[@nestyheartcther]

listen you dont scrape with the razor blade on the back window the interior>.. you just use the scotts , preferable the white or the blue one, ..they dont scratch...i advise you to go for course and learne it properly... even rene feels embarace by what your saying

[@jderck660r]

I thought they tinted windows from the inside

[@jackpamm2457]

yes they did.

[@nestyheartcther]

you havent saw many videos yet lmfao

[@fukoff666]

did u see that tinter just throwing his hard card onto the customers paint job? did u see him throwing his extension cord all over the car? not the way i practice at my business. hope the customer is satisfied with thier new scratches on the car. bad bad job.
