Just take your time. If the back window is laminated I would avoid putting too much heat on it. If my memory severs me right that back window is not laminated tho. :evileye

the ml is not a hard tint the back window takes the most time.

thanks guys,ill shrink it slow on a low heat setting,my main worry was them merc defroster lines can be pretty thick so when the peanuts start popping up it takes a lot of heat to get em out

wire wool the backglass with 0000 wire wool.

Dont heat the %&$# out of the matrix like diamond tints did...just tell the customer there may be a little silvering on the matrix and save yourself some ££££

I dont mind the matrix silvering,ill try the steelwool does it really help prevent them pop ups?

If you shrink it correctly it will be fine...the wire wool just removes the laquer layer from the heater line, it works for me.

I find soap shrinking to be the best.

what type of film are you using?

I soap shrink also and I use johnsons greystone but on limo I use rayguard johnsons as theres no limo in greystone,thanks mate ill give the wool a go,a quick once over or do you really have to scrub it?
