I clean the outside of all windows first. then I double cut the rollups, if they need to be shrunk I put the film on each respective window and shrink all at the same time. then I start at the driver door and work counter clockwise, then I do the backglass last.

I prep all windows and leave the cut film on the car so I can shrink all the windows. I then apply the tint starting with the passsenger side and work my way around to the drivers door. I figure if theres any problems by the time I get to the drivers side I'll have em all figured out and the drivers door should be the best of them all. Just an old habit I guess :thumb

p.s. Yes I had a good day up here in cincy, tomorrows gonna be even better.

I do them from back to front, even on pickups. Only reason is some times I have help and he's better at the side windows. So just force of habit to go back to front cleaning as I go. I clean the inside of the window, then the outside. Then I lay the tint down to cut. Before I install I go over the inside of the window with soapy water and a squeggee just for good measure than I install. I generally do on window at a time. Just habit I guess. I liked TintSluts Idea for 2 door cars. I think that I will try that. :thumb

I've always done backglass first,

followed by cutting sides from back to front then installing from pass. front door clockwise to driver's front door.

After reading MDOG's technique, though, I may switch, seeing as he is so fast! :thumb
