Here at Sun Distributing, we believe that the supplier of the window film should know every aspect of the business. It makes it hard when a tinter or tint shop needs support but their supplier does not know the business from one end to the other. I started as a tinter helper in 1989 and worked my way up to the point of distribution. Along the way I have put together a successful retail tint shop and know every hurdle that a tinter and/or shop owner could face. I believe that there is an extreme value to having a company with our experience in the industry having your back.

You are the first guy to explain the reverse rolling and show us slowly and clearly how it actually works instead of doing it quickly like some other guys do and we just can’t comprehend how it works. You made it very easy to understand. Thank you!

@robsnizzle7 2 года назад

That's CALLED THE CALIFORNIA ROLL.... we've been doing this for years here in CALI, it's a hell of an efficient way to tint the FRONT WINDOW being as it's a large piece tint. Another tip is before laying the tint onto the window before shrinking, lightly wet a "dryer sheet" and wipe the window down with it and it'll cut down on the static when removing the shrunk piece of tint that's ready to go onto the interior window. Works everytime.👌😉

@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736 2 года назад

he used a dryer sheet; he mentions it; he just doesn't show himself wiping the windshield down with it. He may look young, but he's been doing it for a living for 15 years now.

Great video and I look forward to the next live stream.

@tintguy8885 2 года назад

I've used the cali roll for 20+ years. 1 more thing is to tape the headliner to keep fibers and contamination out. You touched the driver side headliner with the exposed film and sure you have a bit of contamination there. I always tape up 4 inches or so of the headliner to keep it clean as possible. Good video!

For those who aren’t aware, I just found out that in Tennessee it’s illegal to tint your windshield. Been driving my car for eleven years like that and was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy this past Wednesday who told me that. Kind of pissed me off. I’ve been stopped for tint before and NO mention of the windshield. When I was stopped for it years ago the officer whipped out his tint card placed it to my drivers side window and told me it was below the legal limit and let me go. This recent one told me I’d be stopped over and over again if it wasn’t removed! I’ve seen many trucks and cars with darker tint than mine!

@ericsorenson1159 Год назад

Amazing how many people respond without proper knowledge. Windshield tint is illegal if it's the full windshield and not just to the AS1 lines; correct. However IF you have certain medical conditions with your eyes you can get a prescription/notice of windshield tint from your doctor that allows this. Also, depnding on the transparency of the tint for those that believe it makes it harder to see, alot of windshields are tinted with 55%-70% film, which inherently is basically as clear as the windshield is normally. It actually makes it easier to see by reducing glare. Yes, it becomes SLIGHTLY darker, but at those percentages, if you can't see properly through it you probably shouldn't be on the road to begin with. I do not advocate getting windshield tint but I've been tinting for 16 years and in places that are 90-100 degree summers MAN does it make a difference in heat transfer.

@joncharlotteschoen Год назад

I had the same question and had just posted a comment. Please don't spam me about that. Lol. I also had wondered how it's legal to tint your front windshield dark? I'm aware of the as1 line, and when I had my front windshield tinted I went about 8 in down, way below the as1 line. But I didn't care. But I was not about to tint the whole front windshield. Thanks for the FYI. 👍

@1RungAtATime 8 месяцев назад

But you know 99.9% with tinted windshields don't have a prescription.

@ericsorenson1159 8 месяцев назад

@@1RungAtATime 100% you are correct. But we do get quite alot of people that actually do too. But if we we're to reject windshields based on this, where i live you would lose about 20% of your revenue if not more. But also. I have windshield tint, and yes, no prescription. But we also tint the State Department Fleet Police vehicles and every cop ive asked said they would not pull you over for tint unless your a dick or doing something stupid. So to each their own. I like it. It doesnt impede my vision at all and i cant even tell its on there.

@Ricky_smoove 2 года назад

Yeah it’s only gonna happen with polarized sunglasses. It’s the ceramic material base it reacts with the polarization in the tint and can actually make it worse looking through sun glasses. Polyester dyed or carbon based film don’t have dramatic of an effect but it is something the shop should have made you aware of. Been tinting about 15 years and have seen it a handful of times. Maybe there’s a brand of film at there that it’s not as noticeable however in my experience with the films I use it can happen
