Help Needed!!!! Problem to tint my windows

[I.G]

Hi Guys this is my first thread and I realy need help I was trying to taint my Honda Accord 96 windows but everytime I tried I couldn't make it because I got some air pockets that I couldn't rid off I ruined the whole material by trying time after time and I have the same problem all the time...
I'm using special soap(or whatever was in the store) but still it doesn't seem to work...
I'll be happy to get any advice...
Thanks

get it done by a professional, do not try to di it your self, most of the time it will come out shitty

Thats what I'd reccomend also for window tinting, its really tough to get all the air pockets out. Just get it done by a professional, it might cost a bit more, but ultimetly, youll be happier with the result.

I did it and got a near professional finish first time,
What you need is?
1. A hair drier/Heat gun
2. A Credit card or similar
2. 50/50 mixture water and washingup liquid spray
3. Most importantly "PATIENCE"...

Make sure the window is perfectly CLEAN!
Start by cuting the film to size and soak the window with the soapy mixture(Better to remove the window). Keep the film and the window wet and don't crease or fold the film or you'll have to start again. peel off the backing and keep the sticky side wet, place the film sticky side down onto the wet glass, if you don't keep the film & glass wet you won't be able to adjust it, when you have it flat on the glass(don't worry about air bubbles yet) use the credit card to push out the bubbles (& water) by starting from the center and working your way out, apply slight pressure to the card but not to much or you'll slice the film. some bubbles will keep creaping back in (especially on oddly shaped windows), what you need to do here is hold the crease out with the card and dry the section of film with a hair drier or heat gun(if your using a heat gun keep it on a low heat).Do this with all the air pockets and you'll get a perfect finish, But the number 1 rule is to take your time and do it right and it gets easier the more you do it, don't wet the window for at least a few hours afterwards or you'll get bubbles again......

If you've got the patience save yourself the cost of a professional...........

thats what happens when your CHEAP !!!!! okay you send a few grand on accord but you wont spend 200 bucks on tint ?! When and If you finally get the air pockets out you can enjoy your black/purple tint for a few months before it starts to turn more purple then you can enjoy the spots that start to oxidate and fade...this is all unless you used a pro tint line such as sungaurd..and in that case your even more stupid for paying for good tint and not having it done right ! im sure youve already put hairline razor scratches in your glass and that will look great when new tints hits it. Look just clean your glass off good, and drive it in to a SunGaurd authorized tint shop !!!!! and dont attempt to do things you have no idea how to do just because it has directions and you want to save a few buck !!!! not being a dick, just tryin to get it thru to you

it would be better off just getting them professionally tinted. trust me
hint: im not a very patient person.
plus some of the rolls that you can buy at the auto parts store are to short to fit you back window.

some things aren't just worth the time to do it yourself.

dealer tints have warranty so if anything go wrong they redo it for you, if you do it yourself and mess-up, you'll have to redo it over again.
