Frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 18, 2005

I see all these posts about (acceptable gaps, shaving, filing, and contamination) and I have to admit that it really frustrates me. Half the cars I do (new or old) usually come in dirty in side and out. and usually have roll-ups that shift 1/2" to 1" or on certain cars (mainly hondas) have really tight seals that love to pinch the film. I just don't see how it is possible to put out flawless tint jobs when these factors come in to play.

For example this last saturday I did an '04 nissan quest. The out side of the vehicle was so dirty that it looked like a delivery van because you couldn't see the windows. The inside wasn't any better (food, dirt, coke syrup on passenger glass and door panel, etc... To be able to put out a decent job I had to basically detail the enitre vehicle prior to tinting. It actually looked really good after I was done. But monday I got a really angry call from the lady because there were five little specs on the bottom corner of her drivers window. By the way it wasn't dirt, On the bottom right corner there is the info on the glass and below that the factory puts five little dots. Stupid Biatch!!!!!!! :inot

You could always have told her that given a couple of weeks under her care they wouldn't be noticed! :inot

It help's if a car is some what dirty to rinse it off before tinting,but if this is a continous problem start telling customers whe you schedule them that in order to give the the best possable tint job it is important that the car is clean when they bring it in :inot

Yeah bb2000 I see where your coming from-except it doesnt frustrate me-it amuses me! After tinting for almost 20 years I know these factors come into play.I also know the internet is the perfect place for tinters to brag about the quality of their shop and their work.You are only as good as the worst one youve ever turned out! No one can tell me they havent struggle thru some of these ol ragged cars!Ya know its a whole lot easier to type in a post about extreme quality -than it is to actually deal with that ragged azz honda with the shifting windows! Thats my view! ss :jerkit

or, if you do detailing, charge them (upsell) for your services... then you'll really appreciate it more... getting paid to clean up the filth so you can tint it a little easier :lol6

I don't have to do many of those kinds of cars. people that drive those cars don't like my prices.

There are worse things out there than Hondas with shifting windows. :jerkit

thats the weird part, my prices a fairly high compared to most my competitors. And allot of the cars that come in are new (hondas, BMW's, Volvo's, chevy's) They just aren't taken care of.
