Hi
The slow and patient part is hard for me but the thing with window film seems to be that if you have a speck of contamination you will have a bubble or a rip from having it not stick. I suspect that a pro would have a vat of a solvent that would do the job faster.
This is the film type used on the newest Lexi (Lexuses?)and
you might notice it when sun shines through the car if it is next to you in traffic. It gives a very light green color but not much. It blocks more than half of the heat though. The dark tints that you commonly see are a variety of metal and carbon black dyes embedded in the plastic. They make shade. It works well. It blocks light though so if you don't want light blocked you can't use them. I want to be able to wake up and look out to see what critters are wandering the forest very early in the morning so the less color the better. These new ones use a variety of things including non metallic carbon nono-particles to block the heat specifically and not the light. They are actually legal to use in truck windshields on quite a few states.Many of the dark regular tints have metal in them too which can screw up the GPS or cell phone and this does not.
Thanks for asking. I'll try to post any important things I learn for reference in case anyone needs to know.
