hi ali

on pentagon website they say - "We spend two or three times more time on a car than most car tinting companies"

not trying to be picky but how do they know this?

I think I spend quite a bit of time on mine getting it right

again, not trying to be funny, just wondered

cheers

this sucks big time, hate it when a big franchise claims to be the best in the business.

where's the proof?

also, your tint may be approved by audi etc but lets face it pentagon dont make their own tint do they.

in my area I'm appproved by bmw, vw, ford, mazda,kia,renault,peugeot,volvo and a few others

I can do cars in between 1.5 hours and 5 hours depending on what make and model and when the job leaves me its almost perfect (as no real tinter would claim to be perfect) give me any pentagon job and I WILL FIND MISTAKES!!

the only real claim that pentagon can make is that they are officially the dearest hence the reason so many closed down

Hey fimmo,

Whats with the hostility?

You'll find the approval is at manufacturer level not dealership. If you look on the accessories list for VW/Audi you will find Supaglass this is done by Pentagon at the various branches. Same is true for Mercedes Benz UK. Officially these (VW/Audi) guys are only supposed to use approved subcontractors I.e Pentagon.

No one is saying there aren't other good tinters out there but there is a lot of crap out there and with Pentagon you do have some recourse - if you're not happy with the finish of your car you can pursue it with head office who will make sure you (customer) goes away happy. I have heard of other shops who essentially tell the customer to like it or lump it!

Pentagon do turn out good work and have grown the market in the UK. As for branches closing down - lots of businesses fail - some have their franchises taken away for various reasons. I've had one for eight years employ 4 other people and make a good living - so Pentagon must be doing something right. At least with Pentagon you spend some time training - me 3 months - rather then a 3 day course from a film supplier. They also give you info on what to look out for with new models etc.

There are lots of independent tinters who have taken on Pentagon franchises and as for saying we are the best - there is nothing wrong with marketing yourself everyone does. Difference is if you visited the Acton branch you would see the set up which is pretty special.

As for the OP he is just trying to attract the right calibre tinter (experienced high end and good) - they are very difficult to find.

That said merry xmas and happy new year to you.

      Dual Low E Question

      To clarify for any public folks reading and industry folks that may not know: The LowE dual coating spoke of by the OP is a rare bird for use in area south of Iowa,USA. The only reason(s) I believe Cardinal (based in Wisconsin) placed the second coating on surface 4 is, 1) is to sell that type glazing system in areas that experience extreme cold below to above 0 F for nights on end and on 4 it is more effective at retention for that use. Iowa is logically the furthest south it should be recommended for. That said, the other coating on surface 2 is the hi-performance coating. This high performance coating is capable of rejecting solar energy, in a LowE2 glazing system of 60%+/- and up to 94% when considering Low4. A LowE4 dual pane would be the ticket in Australia's seriously hot spots. Sadly, if it caught on there, it would impact the window film industry in regions it is useful. Although, LowE4 is pricey at this point in time. A friend of mine had a sun room built on his house in Southern Virginia using LowE4, even as a roof. The vast majority of dual coating LowE glazing involves no coating on surface 4, the exception being original LowE that has not been readily available since around year 2000. Surface 2 & 3 is considered the norm today, for warmer climates north of tropical. Also, the hi-performance LowE2, 3 & 4 glazing systems are very effective at UV reduction (to my understanding in the mid to upper 90's). Original LowE first came on the scene in my early years in the industry and many of us didn't know unless the owner told us, and even with that knowledge, we did not know film covering the coating on surface 4 would rendered LowE ineffective. Those days, single pane LowE existed and the coating would be on surface 2, then.

      Dual Low E Question

      Where I live in Western Australia, we generally focus more on solar energy rejection than heat retention. In recent years builders have jumped onto the low E and double-glazing bandwagon, telling their clients that they will have an energy efficient window, therefore saving them money on energy bills. What they don't tell them is that they will still be wanting to get their glass tinted once they realise how useless these types of windows are in our climate. I won't touch double glazed windows due to risks involved but with low E glass I tell the customer that we can only use a light scouring sponge on the surface to clean before installation, not our usual razor blades. They're usually cool with that. And if they're not, I'm not too bothered about missing out on their job.

      Any XPEL Dealers?

      Thats good there’s not too many other shops offering it. I think a lot of customers choose a tint company based off reviews.

      Any XPEL Dealers?

      We are the only XPEL window tint dealer in our city. There is another dealer, but it does not offer window tint and has no plans to add it. The XPEL tint shop that was previously here moved to FL in 2022. So we came in at the right time, and no more will be added. It is about the same distance now as it was with Llumar. Our Llumar rep even tried to get us to allow closer shops multiple times, one that was only 3 miles away. Standing out is no problem, plus we are the highest-reviewed XPEL dealer in my state.

      Am I being too picky or should I go back?

      Thanks! Very informative. I texted the installer yesterday about the issues, but no response, Google says he is open though. I drove by since his shop was on the way home, and his bay was closed. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt since it is long weekend and maybe on vacation, so he's not dealing with work. Going to text him again Tuesday.

      Global does shrink good and handles heat well while shrinking.

      I guess it's whatever you get used to. The GHP shrinks like butter for me. The ceramics are a little stiff.
