How is it to shrink?

Is it a up sale for you?

Is it worth having for Auto's?

Resd. Are they willing to pay extra?

Whats the most used?

The sales rep came by the other day. Sent me a couple samples Very clear. Seems to be high on Heat rejection. Kinda like the non Refective look to for Resd.

Just seeing what some that use it Like about it...

Huper accounts for over half of my residential installs and 20% of my commercial installs.

Yes they will pay extra for that value.

I have been using Huper Optik ceramic films for a little over 2 months now and I think it is one of the best films out on the market for CLARITY and Heat Rejection. I only stock the Ceramic 30%, 40% and 50%. The film is alot thicker than your ordinary hybrid films. It takes about 2-3 times longer to heat shrink and if very expensive. Cost is around 3 times more than hybrid films. I love everything about this film except for it leaves ghosting marks/heat marks. When you use a heat gun to form fit the film, I guess it changes the composition of the film or something and you can see ghosting marks under direct sunlight at a certain angle when you look at the back glass. Most of my customer's tell me it isn't as bad as I make it out to sound but I have to let them know that the film will most likely ghost.

The film is definitely an upsell and the average price to tint a 2 door car would be around $425-$445 range, 4 door car will be around $475-$495 and SUV will be around $525-$545. It all depends upon your area but here in the Bay Area, cost of living is still astronomical and that is why my prices have been steadily moving upwards the past several years.

If you carry this film, you'd better be focused on Quality instead of Quantity as most of the customers who request this film are very meticulous. I for one would rather tint 2 cars a day than to tint 5 cars.

Try the some samples your rep sent you. I have a feeling you will not like installing it but it does get easier with more practice. Good luck. :thumb

Me 2, for the simple reason that if the stuff ever heads South, it makes for fewer redo's.

This is true for any product.

Hats off to anyone who can get their price and stick with it. :thumb

I have Huper on the windshield of my Suburbon and MAN it was a pain to shrink. The heat rejection is outstanding for such a light film on the other hand I have to disagree with the clarity issue. I have installed alot of Solis/V-Cool and the clarity on that film is worse than the orange peeling that has been going on with SG. I hear that SG is going to be coming out with a similar film called Highlight to compete with Solis and Huper and am interested to see some.

Litespeeds comments on prices and upsell is very encouraging and I have been giving the ceramic film alot of thought. Do they sell a 70+ % VLT film?

Huper Optik

They only have 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%. They actually make a 20% but it is not really sold in the US but you can order it if you'd like. Very thick film and extremely hard to shrink.

Protint,

There is a good chance that the sample that you got to try out is not the same quality as what they will sell you when you order a roll. Maybe you got their 2nd hand tint that does not meet their standards. In any case, I find that the Ceramic film is clearer than any other film I have tried. The reflection on the window after it is installed is almost like the glass itself. That is my opinion of the film.

Huper Optik is the b*mb. This is the kind of film I have waited for for 17 years. Lighter shades, superior heat rejection, and optical clearity. I have used it for over a year now and still no regrets.

      Dealership Regional Lock Changed

      Maybe I'm just being more observant.......but it's like dealers are all stacked ontop of each other with *no more region exclusivity *. I have no clue. I'm not in the biz. Just noticed the similar explosion from the 3 ....xpel, stek, suntek

      Dealership Regional Lock Changed

      I've seen the pendulum move from from both extremes multiple times over the years. My standard pitch is that I have been installing for decades and can use whatever I like. This is my preferred brand based on my experience.

      Dealership Regional Lock Changed

      Has the dealership with the brands of Xpel, Suntek etc changed. It was my understanding on the PPF side, Xpel only listed their =higher= volume dealers on their website. Previous to this I was under the impression, like in past days, there was a certain territorial-region exclusivity of X amount of dealers within a X radius I've been doing a brief look and across the board, I've noticed a boatload of Xpel, Suntek shops while doing a google search. My preferred installer is a state over, 2 hrs drive....but it's interesting to see so many dealers that I don't recall seeing in the past. Some of them are literally less than a mile or less within each other. Has the model of dealer - regional exclusivity changed and it's just whomever will buy material is now a dealer ?

      Advise on adding another layer on 3M crystalline

      Yes, you can add another layer as long as the first has no issues. I used to do Llumar Ceramic as the first layer on my SUVs to match the rear privacy glass and add 3M Crystalline 90 for the jump in performance. You will want to go with 70% to get the desired 25-30 range. 3M Crystalline 40 has a brownish hue, the green you're seeing is the stock glass on the CRV. If you want to save a little money, 3M Ceramic IR 70 is another option.

      Xpel stealing accounts from vendors

      As a consumer, I recently looked at the Xpel dealers on their website ( I know it's not accurate for low volume dealers that may not be listed). I will say it does appear that compared to 2 years ago, there it at least double to 2.5X dealers listed for my region than 30 months ago. And even of those listed, it is less than a handful I would use. This applies more to PPF than *tint* dealers

      Advise on adding another layer on 3M crystalline

      Hallo everyone,.. Just seeking adding another layer of tint onto existing 3M crystalline, I understand it is not recommended but doable mostly without issues. Here's the situation, - done 3M crystalline 60vlt on front windshield and 3M crystalline 40Vlt on the rest of the windows. - car is a Honda CRV Reason I'm looking for another layer is to make it darker, but I want to do additional layer only on rear windows and back windscreen, this is to comply with law enforcer by having front windows at 40VLT ( though the law requires 50VLT for front window). Here's the opinions and advise needed - I find that 3M crystalline give a slight greenish hue on the windows. If I add a layer of tint to rear window, will it result in ugly color mismatch? Greenish hue plus dark color kind of mismatched looks. I am thinking of making the rear to be around 25 to 30 VLT when i add another layer, I'm thinking without such a huge difference in darkness, the contrast between front and rear window won't be too drastic, ( and less ugly) - what type of 3M tint is recommend as a second layer to the original crystalline 40VLT ? I try to achieve "consistent" type of look between front and rear window, but just having the rear noticeably darker. I'm thinking that I'll be going back to the same installer, thus 3M tint as second layer seems to be logical choice. - is there any particular 3M tint that works best as a second layer ? In terms bonding or ease of work when applying.? - for the second layer, should I be looking at a VLT of 70% in order to achieve my desired end result of 25 - 30 VLT? base layer CRYSTALLINE 40 VLT plus second layer 70 VLT. -
