DIY window tinting is for saints

I bought some 'Defender' window tints from halfords today and they are the gayest thing to do ever! I thought I would be ok but the tints had been damaged in the box so when I peeled then there were small crease marks that would not go away. Then when I went to cut the tints to size it split! So after about an hour of swearing I gave up! Those who have done it themselves are saints! lol. Ok rant over.

Anyway anyone know of any good window tinters near Guildford/Farnham? Or the best tint to buy/ tips? Cos I found it difficult to do the side windows as the outside is a lot bigger than the inside.

what's the rules about advertising on this forum? i've not seen anyone advertising their services so don't want to tread on toes

just go for it, folk on here advertise GSR and reddotracing (for good reason)all the time, so its no different!!!

yer go ahead.

gsr pay for that. if you are just recomending a place then its fine, to advertise your own business it costs.

you know you supposed to fit them to the out side first, then cut to size peal off and fit them inside?

anyone who knows anything about tinting will know this is not a diy job
strickly for the experts as said so many times before

hmmmmm ok then, iv done it on 3 cars with perfect results, with no experiance, its easy, just take it slow.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm ok

fair enough son but don't want to burst your bubble but i bet its not as good a job as the experts do. now to be fair i haven't seen your end result, but what you deem as perfect may somewhat differ from other peoples idea of perfection most people I've come across, well practacly all who have tried diy tinting have in hindsight said they should have had it done professionally...some end results I've seen from the distance looked not too bad but on closer inspection was a different story

yeah, but even the posters on here are free to recommend GSR, so i can't see how its any different to this guy wanting to recommend any other company as long as it is'nt his own??

i put a vid on there from youtube that makes it look piss easy

thats what i said, if it aint his own place then its a recomadtion, not an ad

You wouldn't happen to be the same Harry from Detailing World that had the huge thread about renovating a garage would you?

I do know that and I did that. But the probs with the GP is that the window inside is smaller than the outside as the pillars get in the way which makes it really difficult.
