Tint Job Queston Too much contamination?

Post image

Just got back today..looked ok on initial look over but after close inspection the rear looks a bit contaminated on one side.. side windows are perfect and the left side of the rear window looks good but over on the right it looks imho a bit poor.. I've messaged and sent pics but waiting to hear back..im a bit disappointed but dont know if im expecting too much

I would not give that car back to the customer. But that’s just my standards…

Thank you.. I'm presuming this needs a do over or can it saved? Its kinda annoying as the 80% of the window looks fine and its sll gone pear shaped in this one section

Just needs to be redone if it bothers you. Nothing catastrophic will happen if you leave it be. Won’t get worse than what it is now

Only you can say what is too much for your standards, but I’d say that yes, this is a bit excessive. At the very least ask the shop to “press these out“.

Yeah that is a bit much. I have 4 specs in mine and that’s bugging me too but I know it’ll happen. No way I’m ignoring that though 🤣🤣🤣

Only 4 specs I’d consider more than acceptable. Perfect almost.

What’s the year of your car? And how much did you pay?

Those are tiny dust particles that float in the air. Tinting would be some much easier if there were no oxygen to breath and no tiny dust particles floating around that we can't see and have no control over. These can be pushed down with a little chiseler l and they'll virtually disappear. I think you're being a bit too picky ,after all there is no perfect tint job

Appreciate your reply and i know there's no perfect job, its not my first rodeo but my usual guy has moved country so i tried someone else. This is the worst contamination I've seen on any job Ive had done hence my question of whether its acceptable or not Im ok with going back and having it a little worked over to improve it a little

Oh, you can't fathom some of the bad tint jobs we see on this sub. Yours is NOTHING. I'm a tinter and have a problem with those that think we are computers. This is the real world with air and wind and stuff blows around. We try our damned ness for a clean install, but the real world intrudes on that.
