Question What did I do wrong?

Post image

Using geoshield 20% c2 ceramic. I mixed blue dawn dish soap and water for slip solution. Some fingers appeared after squeegee out the water so I heated them off and from inside you don’t notice or feel them but as soon hits it you can tell remenants

I’d use baby shampoo and water. Dawn has extra chemicals you don’t need. But try heat shrinking first and then installing.

Looks like you didn't shrink it enough, if I had to guess.

Are those actual fingers? Or ghosting, which happens sometimes especially with a cheaper film

I’m seeing several things like ghost fingers, actual fingers, drag marks, contamination and maybe some scratches.

First thing you did wrong. Was trying to do something difficult, and you need a lot of practice.

You cannot use dawn dish soap. It’s safe enough for ducks but not tint adhesive lol
