hi, I would like to seek opinions... i have recently installed a 3M solar film. There appears to be vertical lines from the exterior due to installers spraying some liquid and pushing this liquid out of the solar film - the lines are due to them using a plastic card to expel the liquid. When dried, this appears as vertical or horizontal streaks from the exterior and is very evident when under orange light. Installer claimed that this is normal - may i check with forumers who has such installation if this is the case? Does this apply only to 3M films or films of other make?

not that i m in favour of any, but 3M should be good product. its probably the installer skill in doubt!
i had mine done at InfraTint, cost 50% less than 3M...but got mine w/o fuss, and most important, is Sherman's after service. any issues will be address, if any at all.

I tinted my car with Infatint. 1st time after 1 month, there got the ugly line too, then i went back to Sherman. He changed for me without a word, now the tint looks great.
Cheers for Sherman..!!
Murphy, i think u have to go back to the shop for complaint.

Hi Murphys33,
I did not get the 3M solar film for my car so can't really comment but you might want to get a second opinion on your tinting streaking.
I just did my tinting yesterday at Infratint (Tradehub 21) from Sherman. Did not encounter any streaking. The installation was done very professionally by his team and the installation was completed in approx 1.5 hrs (6 pairs of hands working on my car). Was advised to let the film dry under hot sun for the next 2-3 days for the film to settle.
Overall, a very satisfied customer. You might want to give Sherman a call for a 2nd opinion.
Not advertising but just sharing a good experience.
Drive safe guys.

Re: solar film - ugly lines visible
Yes, I also love my CnL!
Cannot feel the heat in normal driving circumstances. And the tint is cool
Unlike my VKool, premium which was >$1K still can feel the "bite". This one... no "bite" .. real cool.....
Therefore.. it should be the quality of your FOC in question!
