I have a job to look at in a couple days. I did the job a few years ago with Sungard Silver 35. It is an old car dealer building and there are 6 windows that are 94" wide and 118" tall. They have called me today looking to get an estimate on doing those windows and say that they are getting too much heat. Checking the numbers on TSER the 35% is 65.2 and the best option I have would be the Johnson Senic View 10 at a 82% TSER.

My question to you all is, will that 17% change make enough difference? I am thinking that it will NOT make enough difference. Also, will the film have degraded over 4 years or so to where it has lessened in performance?

thanks

I did a salad makers with the sun from the south and west side in the afternoon... It makes a big difference.. I used SS35.. And you could sit right in front of the window once it was done.. The owner said the same day they noticed the diffrence... loved it..

But if they are looking for darkness go for the ss2o.. The 35 look pretty close to what you see now just without Glare..

SS35 will make a huge difference! They are complaining about the heat that is coming in through the SS35 film! There are so many square feet of glass that window film just doesn't cut enough off.

I would use the film with the most heat blockage I use silver 15 from sungard all 78% of the heat never had it fade on anything I done in the last 10 years. but dont know about johnson film fadeing after a few years I do know if it startes fading it will lose the ability to block as much heat a the spec show from day 1

      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. -
