Found out the hard way that we can't get away with that in Iowa.
I had my truck done at 70%, got pulled over for 72 in a 55. Officer was very nice, let me off with a warning on the speed and gave me a $70 ticket for the windows. |

Looks nice.
I got 28% on the sides, 5% in the cargo area. Makes a difference in how much less A/C you have to use and it's almost impossible to see the contents of the cargo area from outside the vehicle. |

That's it?
I have 5% on Front windows, & factory 20% on the back cab & rear of my truck... It's bad as hell during the day.. at night, not so much when you have to roll your windows down to see if there is traffic if your in the country without any street lighting

Quoted: do you detail professionally? i was thinking about getting a foam lance - worth it? Not professionally, just enthusiastically. I have a Gilmour Foammaster II foam gun. I like it, but you need to wash in the shade and/or move very fast so you don't get the soap drying on the car. I like that it gives more dwell time for the soap to soften and lift any dirt from the surface, and I like using it to foam inside the wheels and wheel wells so there is more soap in there when I use my brushes. Downside is that it uses more soap than you probably otherwise would. I use the large gallon container of Meguiars Gold Class that you can get at CostCo and just leave the chemical bottle filled up all the time. The quick disconnect is very convenient as well. BTW, cheapest place to find it is on Amazon. |

Dark tint, nicely done, almost ALWAYS improves the look and comfort of a car. Again. Between the car and the tint, there's plenty of badassery to go around.
