Comments about Gila Ultra Shield Window Tint - 35% VLT:
I've tinted my own windows for years and it all boils down to the following steps:
1) Making sure the windows are clean inside and out, since outside is where you will make your first cuts.
2) Make sure that it's not windy so no air born contaminates are introduced while you work
3) Making sure the windows and clean (yes, the most important thing)
4) Use plenty of solution (a Johnson baby shampoo and water solution works best)
5) Make sure you get the lower edge under the seal completely so it doesn't peal when the windows lowered.

Comments about Gila Ultra Shield Window Tint - 35% VLT:
I've been tinting windows a long time. It boils down to how good the installer is. Tinting involves a lot of prep work. Believe it or not I prefer to take my windows out before tinting which creates a nice flater surface to work (obviously I don't remove the rear window). I can remove just about any window (even electric) in about 15 min. Having the window out allows you to be able to have zero edge seams showing anywhere. That and the tint applies so easy. I can honestly say Gila ULTRASHIELD lasts, & as long as you use glass cleaner that says "safe for window tint" it won't fade or turn purple.
You want to make sure you don't go too dark or you will eventually get nailed from the Highway patrol. They don't seem to care how dark tint is on standard cab pickup trucks. Remember for them, it's all about how many people could be in the vehicle that they CAN'T see when they pull you over. On 4 door cars if you stick with all windows at 35% you shouldn't ever have a problem. Maybe the rear window done at no darker than 20%. This should keep you free from a ticket.
