I've got a hatch that i need tinted, and will be looking for somewhere to get it tinted, a couple guys i know recomended one place, and before i give them a call or visit, what questions should i ask?

 

"What kind of tint do you use?" and "What is the warranty on the tint and installation?" are the two biggest ones I'd ask. If they dont use a premium metallic or ceramic tint, dont bother because it will turn purple on you. And if they dont stand behind their product or installation, keep looking for someone who does.

 

What brands or kinds are good? What are the chances of getting the entire hatch done in one sheet? and what about the top with the lines?

 

they will use one sheet for your hatch, i've never seen any tint shops leave lines in the middle of a window

 

It turns purple from using windex (ammonia) on it.

 

What cleaner should you use so that the tint doesn't turn purple?

 

Just soap and water. It says right on the tint instructions "Always clean film (tint) with a soapy water solution and a clean, soft squeegee. NEVER use ammonia, vinegar, household cleaners, paper towels, or brushes to clean"

 

Yeah, my tint is pretty much destroyed so I used whatever was around to clean them. Once I get the new tint on I'll be sure to clean with soap and water. Say dude, hows the pod of switchs coming along? Figure a way to mount it?

 

Yea I did, just gotta get the time to make up the brackets. I'm resealing my intake right now, had a coolant leak
