70% LEGAL

May 11, 2005

Over here in England the tint law is 70% for front passenger and driver windows, most cars that come out of the factory have less than 70% visibilty so god knows where that law came from.

Im just starting out and am already noticing people wanting 35% as the lowest tint, some ask for alot less but its mainly 35. What do I do ? do I refuse to do front windows all together or just do minimum 35 and risk it ?? or what sort disclaimer can I give them to say it not my responsibility if they do get pulled ?

Its only really 4x4s and MPVS that want just rear windows doing so that more than halves the market round here.

is the law 70% total vlt? because if you put 70 on the windows its really like a 50% when you ad the vlt of the glass and the 70% film.

offer them 50% as a compromise? DOnt introduce a disclaimer...you are admitting that you tint !llegally!

What you can do is put a 50% on front drops as :lol2 will accept 45% and above vlt as for saying add a 70% to a tinted glass will bring it to 50% is total and utter :spit dont know how yous guys worked that out but it is wrong, if you are going to put a 35% on front drops tell the customer there is no come backs on you and only give them areceipt for " b posts back only "

Do the math, 70% times 70% is 49%.

its not hard you should try that equation some time!!!

this is when you need to be sure what the glass (%) it has, that is why you need a tint meter, with that you knoww what % the glass has and then you can do that math, you cant say "oh that's 83%" by just looking at a car glass. if you want to be specific do it right.

ok heres the thing in the uk police will accept 45% and above vlt now I add a sun-gard 47% or 48% whatever it is , its classed as 50% onto a car with 70% vlt now when my customers get stopped why does there cars read 45% and above still !!!!!!!!! using a meter wich costs over ?1000 so sorry still dont accept what yous say about working it out so can someone explain this to me as all this makes no sense maybe I'm missing something

you have to take in cosideration that the glass is not exactly clear so you need to figure out what the vlt on the glass with no tint is and the multiply it by the %vlt of the film your using.
