To be honest, I don't want to see it until it is prepped. With my luck I'd show up and some tech would be eating his lunch in my car I don't need the additional stress!!!
@Onami I picked up my 718 from the refinery yesterday. Solid work!
Your 911 will most certainly be worth the wait :-)
Nice! Post some pics of your car, I’m sure lots of us would like to see it!
The Refinery does excellent work and Gerard is a very knowledgeable and nice guy. If I wasn’t so comfortable with them, I would never travel so far for PPF. That’s my dilemna now…it’s 50 km and 1.5 hours across the city not taking highways to their shop. My trailer guy is booked solid for the next 9 days. I could buy a bunch of Tracwrap and drive it, try it naked and fix any stone chips or wait until the 19th. It’s so hard to put off driving the car for another week!
Well…5 hours and 3 60 yard rolls of blue painters tape later and the car was ready for the 50 km drive to the Refinery. Thanks for meeting me after business hours Gerard!
I did my 2 front windows in 70% and my two small side windows in 35% and my rear window in 20%
Exactly! I hate tint, but need UV protection due to previous sun damage. Yes, the Refinery does tint also. My Macan S is tinted at 70% also.[/QUOTE]
Bah I assumed he didn't as it's not listed anywhere and never mentioned. I'm taking my car tomorrow to get done. But I have not decided at the level. I prefer uniform tho.. thinking between 35 and 45%. White car so I really want the contrast but I also don't want the drug dealer look :-)
Plus the tint will help hide the ugly metal finish behind the seats because I didn't spring for the leather backing since I didn't think it would be noticeable. D'oh.
I thought the same, but asked Gerard and he said no problem. 70% is the lightest that he does and it's what was recommended by PCO on my Macan, so I went with that. I can feel the difference driving the Macan vs the Lexus when the sun is at full strength.

Did you do the front windshield? It's the biggest window that lets in UV rays to the dash and front of the seats.. I'm a dark tint lover so I did 15% all around but 70% on the windshield.. In hindsight, I wish I did 50% on the windshield since the 70% is not even noticeable.. Even when i tell people the windshield is tinted with 70% they are surprised because it's so clear.. I have full leather dash so windshield tint is a must in my books...
