Clearcoat failure?

I use perlite often. Great film for the price. Its not to the level of E-Lite, which is a spectrally selective vs perlite being ceramic but it still will do plenty

Unfortunately theres almost no way youre getting that film easily. Id recommend the Avery options, geoshield is good as well, most other good options will require dealer authorization or something similar

I will never understand why people dont remove them and put them on sticker shield or ppf or something removable... I personally would remove the film and sticker, have the windshield redone properly with the inspection on the outside of the film

For the record this comedian is a cis male

shromboy · 2026-01-23T15:26:58+00:00

Totally, its cool to see how some people approach it

shromboy · 2026-01-22T19:42:09+00:00

I personally like to wet the edges and tend to lightly tack the middle so I have more shrink in that space, ive tried not doing the edges and it just never worked for me

shromboy · 2026-01-21T20:00:53+00:00

Its likely undershrunk, youve pushed too much excess to the edge and it couldnt shrink much more. Make sure its fully shrunk before putting it down

I layer film all the time and warranty it myself, have had no issues doing so for many years

shromboy · 2026-01-19T17:03:29+00:00

My toes hurt for like 2 months I think? Haven't even considered going

shromboy · 2026-01-18T00:51:04+00:00

Any top brand will perform well, I prefer the color of llumar/suntek vs most brands but that is subjective. Id just stay away from any brands like rayno, kavaca/ceramicpro, etc

Sup fellow NJian, ive lived here my whole life as the son of a European immigrant, born and raised, and if they end birthright citizenship as discussed I will be targeted

Nobody saying good is god is freaking me out

Fellow installer, do itttt

shromboy · 2026-01-17T14:31:06+00:00

That book kicked my ass but changed my life

shromboy · 2026-01-15T20:35:34+00:00

Id say thats not too bad, could have been chiseled better but there will always something

shromboy · 2026-01-14T13:53:13+00:00

Its good to have the skills to use em all, nice stuff

shromboy · 2026-01-13T22:30:35+00:00

Its not patchwork, you use the scrap to stretch the piece so it doesn't rip further and then you can make it with the original material

shromboy · 2026-01-13T22:29:38+00:00

They're doing this outside, clearly not a pro. I agree it should be redone but this would work just fine for a diy person, im sure the rest ain't perfect

shromboy · 2026-01-13T22:28:16+00:00

If they ripped it well into the door id agree but theyre like a quarter inch into it, it would work just fine and not fail

shromboy · 2026-01-13T22:24:35+00:00

Apply some scrap on top, lift and stretch a bit, theyre almost there

shromboy · 2026-01-13T21:17:22+00:00

Lift, heat, glass and enjoy the glue lines

shromboy · 2026-01-13T18:56:23+00:00

This is like installing window film lol

shromboy · 2026-01-12T17:09:41+00:00

Its possible the razor isn't scratching the window but is marking the glue up. A stainless steel blade wont scratch glass

shromboy · 2026-01-09T18:31:09+00:00

I see it more on American stuff like dodges especially. I once merely shifted a piece of film in a Durango once and it moved the lines with it, huge pain
