Hello.

I just had my car tinted with Huper Optik 40 and I have a few questions.

Shortly after I got home from the tint job I noticed that there are a few dark marks (almost like tinny hair lines) on certain places on my side windows and back glass. Before I left I asked the tinter if there is anything I should be aware of and all he said was to give the tint a week to cure before doing anything. At first I thought that the marks would go away, but after three days they don’t appear to be improving. So I decided to take it back and asked him about the marks. When he looked over them he explained to me he knows exactly what happened. He said the marks were caused by the Huper Optik label bleeding through the lining and onto the film. He proceeded to take some WD40 to try and clean them off, but I stop him and told him that I want to wait and let the film cured before he clean it. If indeed that the marks were cause by the Huper Optik label bleeding through can he safely clean them off? Will there be any adverse affect on the tint if he was to use WD40 on the film to clean it? I also have a small flake half the size of a pea located on the lower edge of the back glass that I thought was a water bubble but now not sticking onto the glass. Can this also be retouch?

My other question is the harmonic distortion on the back glass. My tint is a week old and my back glass harmonic distortion is pretty bad at nights while driving and especially when there are multiple cars behind. Will this distortion improve over time? This is my first tint and I don’t know if is acceptable for a high end film such as the Huper Optik?

I have an appointment to see him this week and what should I do in this situation?

Thank you.

I have included some pictures taken at night:

Good call Stan :nope

As far as the "pea size" whatever it is in the back window...we can't answer that, Your installer can though.

The "harmonic" :skit distortion, is from headlights bending or "refracting" around the defogger lines at night. Window Film magnifys the problem. No fix for that one. :thumb

:skit I have no experience with HO so I don't know about that problem, but I see no reason wd40 would hurt the film.

as for those "harmonic distortion", booms is right, its caused by the slight air gaps the defrosters create, and will be there with ANY film you put on the window. Its normal, you just have to get used to it.

      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. -
