Thank you very much. I will do a Camaro f-body. Next week. How is the matrix on those? Is this something you would do on those?

Hi from Australia, the land of custom fitting, where customers will not wear micro-edges thanks to a franchises marketing. 😂 Not bad,definitely better than vinyl, & an interesting personal hack, a bit time consuming though. I found you can get the exact same finish on Accords & Integra's by cleaning the dot matrix with Llumar X-100 & 000 grade steel wool, then clean off with a cloth(s) until you get no black on the cloth. Tint as normal but spray X-100 around the edges on the dots and the top edge of the film to cover the dots. It will sit perfectly immediately, leave it sit while doing sides, then run over the again as normal. You'll find you don't get the smudging & eliminate heating time! The reason it works is X-100 is an adhesive activator & it cleans between the dots but also changes the surface tension of the dot matrix are making it cling to the adhesive, not allowing water to stay between. 😊 I'm amazed to see your knees still let you get into coupes, mine don't, especially for an R&R after 30yrs!

Because of the way this is does the film is dry when the process is complete. There will be no more drying and the look will not change.

Does this work with the older Ford fusions too?

are you doing this with regular tint? or is this done using a dot matrix film?

This is just the film that is on the rest of the windows. "regular tint"

Thank you for the video, I have a 2015 accord coupe and my tint used vinyl on the outside of the car lol. I need a shop that can do what you do.

No one should ever put vinyl on the outside. If vinyl is going to be used they should cut the film on the inside and remove the film in the dot matrix area. Then apply vinyl on the inside. That way it is protected from the elements, car washing and exterior window clean that will damage and scratch the vinyl over time.

Great technique,, what temp is the heat gun set at? Unfortunately my heat gun only has one temp and I cracked the windshield.

It's turned all the way up. I'm pretty sure it's at 1050 degrees. Windshields can crack with heat very easily. The rest of the glass on a car is tempered. You can get it as hot as you want and it shouldn't be a problem. Unless it's laminated or some other rare glass in a vehicle.

Heat gun is set over 1000 degrees. I think it's 1350. You wont crack a rear window with a heat gun. I've heated glass so hot that I smeared the film in the dot matrix area when I pushed it up. Oviusly this was a mistake but it does go to show that you can get the glass incredibly hot and not break it. The front windshield is a different story because it laminated glass. heat with caution.
