[@capris232000]

Ralph is No 1 for me and he explaying very well everything. thank you Ralph

[@arnoldguevara9371]

I really liked the detailed narration in this video!

[@oooooo3231]

you make this look easy. I'm still practicing on the side windows.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Keep at it and you'll get it.

[@giannisrousis3409]

Nice ....I really like it...I am thinking to install the same tint to my car does it worth it for heat reduction???? Thanks....

[@ruderocky1431]

gotta admit.. i like watching these vids bro

[@bryancoxttu]

As a tint enthusiast I can say I've enjoyed your videos for a couple of years now. Great content. You truly have a talent for tint. Ever consider venturing into vinyl wrap? I know it's a different world but it requires the same level of meticulousness.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Bryan Cox I have been wrapping cars lately. I should be distributing a major brand of wrap material by November.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Bryan Cox Thanks for watching

[@elixir220]

your skill makes this stuff look easy. would i attempt to tint? sure on an 92 tercel but not a 17 tesla. i enjoyed the video

[@petchy9088]

Thanks, good instructional explaining.

[@itzika2879]

Hi graet Video. Will be great if you make once a video about : what is considered to be a " forgivable error or mistake" by installation. In other words where is the border between changing the film ( redo the job) and where we can accept the error . Sure it depends on the client too. But would like to hear what is your opinion.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Good idea! I'll put it on our list of video ideas.

[@romanfisher1394]

How hot would you set the heat gun?

[@Rick-kp6wf]

Great steady hand.👍

[@igorsouza6626]

Don't know how I landed here - but Ralph is the kind of guy I want to grab a beer with!

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Let's go get some coronas and troll people in the tesla. Lol

Looks good buddy, talking about making sounds while getting into tight spots I tinted a 2017 Camaro they've made some changes and it's tuff getting in there and I couldn't reach the bottom six inches with my hand .

[@FlexFilmPlus]

I feel you on that one.

[@tehgusbus2716]

when you spray the inside of the windshield you sprayed the tint solution and not regular water right?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Gustavo Salgado I used pre tac to clean and tint tac for slip solution. Www.tinttac.com

[@jmtrotzie]

Excellent video. Why does the reverse roll method adhere when usually the reverse side is used?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

jmtrotzie Because I pull the release liner off simultaneously as I roll the film which exposes the mounting adhesive to the glass. It is like a magic truck in the video. You have to look very close to see it.

[@jmtrotzie]

Thanks Ralph. To me it looks like the adhesive side is facing you.

[@juniorlewis9173]

jmtrotzie If the adhesive side was facing the inside during or after installing, how could the film be stick to the glass? ... I wonder how do you expect the film to be held/stick to the windshield?

[@alejandrocuanas3284]

Do you offer training or tint schools?

[@arcangel268]

Ralph, What is the "benefit" to use the dry shrink method?..Thanks for your time, excellent videos 🔥🔥👈

[@FlexFilmPlus]

A more even consistent shrink which makes the installation go a lot smoother and faster.

[@JBIRD575]

nice video again Ralph 😀

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Thanks J.

[@MrRoberto0077]

Hces good job with the dye. Greetings from Venezuela I would like to learn things about your work, secrets, tools and other things

[@shturner1975]

How much pressure are you putting out when smoothing out the film with your card (while shrinking)?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Medium

[@MichaelSmith-ik9xb]

Good job man! Thankyou for giving a fellow fat man the courage to tackle my own windows! I was waiting for you to start commenting on sweatin going at the back window 🤣 all my fellow biggins had that 80 to 90 degree weather with the windex in hand/car wash flashback! 🏊‍♂️🌊🚿🚰

[@albertwillians]

Hey Ralph, where did u buy that lamp? I loved it. Can't find it on the web.

[@michaellangerman4615]

Hey ralph why do you need a valid business to get a sample roll of your film. I wanted to try a sample roll but i guess i cant now.

[@martysaz1010]

Hi, love your videos and I have a question I couldn't find an answer to in your library. How would you address a glare strip on this car? Would you put it on top of the windshield tint or make it a splice application like you did on the rear window demo?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

I only tint visor strips over 70% tint or lighter otherwise I will splice.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

If the film on the front windshield is lighter than 70%, I would just lay the visor strip on top of the film. If the windshield film is darker, I would splice it.

[@dilloncassell]

What percentage was the tint you put on? What were the heat and Uv benefits and potential cost of the film

[@FlexFilmPlus]

The Car Fanatic This film was Nanoflex 70. The specs are on my website. Www.flexfilmplus.com There are not many other products in the industry with this level of performance. Just like the car, the film is also hard to beat...

[@michaelmorris1293]

Did u ever do a 03 745li BMW

[@RaldasDetails]

Great video sir appreciate it! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mrteausaable]

What type of brand of film and what percent of the front windshield do you used?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Flexfilm Nanoflex 72%

[@mrteausaable]

@@FlexFilmPlus l plan to use 90% clear for the front windshield. Is this better than 72% ?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

@@mrteausaable Just remember... the lighter you go, the less performance. Usually in films that are 90% vlt, the performance drops drastically from what you can get from a darker ceramic film.

[@felixpereyda847]

Use license plates along the matrix dots ...all along the bottom of the glass an edges

[@ht1261]

How much $ this cost?

[@izmailovdavid]

Hey Ralph do you guys sell tint to diyers in small quantities?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

diztrin Not right now but we will have an option for you hopefully by next month...

[@juniorlewis9173]

Since you are having a slight issue talking while filming, I suggest you do your tinting with the aid of a friend or a tripod then you can do a voice over in post production. Hope you will like my recommendation.

[@Solar-Busters]

Ralph, I thought that tinting the windshield in Alabama was illegal ?

[@blaino1]

Off subject of a windshield tint. I've had two customers this week that had a door window that did not work. How do you handle that? One customer was not happy because I couldn't tint it. The other was understanding.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

blaino1 I usually tell them they need to get the door repaired. I will throw a piece of tint on their temporarily until they returned with the repair and redo it for free. If they do not show back up, I do not worry about it.

[@ninjakidjohnb.8996]

Hey Ralph, after watching this video (and others of yours), I'm going to try to put 80% ceramic on my Tesla Model Y. The question I have for you is, aren't you concerned about the amount of solution that goes down the front of the windshield? It seems to be a lot. Any problems with that in your experience. Thank you.

[@jasonb5670]

I just watched this Video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gomXdpeBnMR7l9E

[@JuanGarcia-qq5oc]

when you kick out the girl from the window lol she was just curious to see what was going on.

[@johngaspar4425]

the tint with no tint

[@Turbo-X]

Will that little finger pull in dust specs in any older car? What is solution than, to do a whole job again with new piece of film? I like your work and videos, but have no time to watch it all. Best regards

[@brendaleetv]

I thought front tint is illegal? Well, maybe here in Texas.

[@ig243]

brendaleetv it's not even dark at all. It's one of those clear ones. Can't get in trouble with the clear tint

[@dazzassti]

@@ig243 what's the point of putting it on.? I don't get it. Anyhow in the UK it's totally illegal, not only that if you had a shunt you'd be completely uninsured and good look at not losing everything you own including your house trying to fight that claim.

[@smooth235]

@@dazzassti 70% ceramic is totally legal on the windshield. The ceramic film is a non tinted film which is legal. It will add darkness to your vehicle if your front two windows are tinted

[@ruebenmikoch]

I just use the dirt on the window instead of any kind of soap. Works just as good and less work.

[@matthewomoto2197]

Mcgregor pr Mayweather?

[@cloutdoors5674]

Well done but for all that work and or money it seems like I'd at least want some 50% something that will at least shade things a little.

[@Had22s]

Just needs a little eyebrow and it'll be finished 😊

[@Had22s]

Not sure why you deleted your comment, but I'm sure if someone paid you, you'd do an eyebrow. I put one on all my cars after i tint the whole windshield. I found that 25% all the way down is prefect. Then i do a 10" or so eyebrow 15% on top of the 25%.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Had22s I deleted my comment because I thought about it... I agree with you.

[@paulvivier1984]

How would you do that. Tint the entire windshield and go back and do the browN

[@Had22s]

@@paulvivier1984 Yes. If you do the eyebrow first and then tint the windshield you'll have a line at the bottom of the brow.

[@kbmrlvids]

"932 degrees" thats so wrong lmao

[@kgpp2293]

You definitely have some good methods but some of the things you did were weird and unnecessary . I put it down to filming tho. I always do my hard pass first just work it slowly 2 pieces not 4. Anything after the first pass if it starts to dry you're gonna get ghosting and rippling itll look crap. You need to look into some other tools. Down here in australia no ones uses those turbo things... we have proper handels and we use 3m cars cut in half for sides and bottoms of doors

[@FlexFilmPlus]

You can't ghost nano ceramic window film. You can ghost sputtered ceramic window film. If you have priblems with ghosting, switch to nano ceramic technology. It is a standard two ply constructiin designed for auto. Sputtered ceramic is better suited for flat glass and involves multiple layers of polyester. If you heat it too fast or uneven, it will ghost.
