I want to start mastering window tinting to eventual offer it with mobile detailing. Any advice on where to learn or buy material from? I`ve tinted the glass on my old Nissan Maxima before and it came out alright, but I would love to learn more. Especially on the latest and greatest products and techniques.

I`m ready to buy a roll to tint the glass on my Pathfinder myself.

Thanks!

We had a representative from 3M come teach us over I believe 3 days. It was great and well worth the cost.

This was back in 2000, so unfortunately the cost and duration are no longer in my brain.

I would love to learn. I`m trying to find someone in my area that does decent work for my car. I did the windows in my house and managed to remove the bubbles.

But first...... Can you install a screen protector on an iPad with no lint or bubbles? [emoji38] just kidding. I never messed with tint but I can put a screen protector made of glass or plastic on anything. Maybe I`d be good at tinting.

Ray- take a roll of tint, a 12 pack of cold ones and hit up your local salvage yard or pick a part-

lots of vehicles to practice on.. and if you do a good job, just pull the door and you got yourself an advertisement door right there
