Do they take out the glass or what? There's a lot of covered glass in the mondeo, especially that rear quarter window.

No idea I'm afraid
I've seen a few cars he has done and they were all good so I booked it in and walked away
Can't see any flaws in it so I'm happy

They usually stick it to the outside, cut it to size then apply it to the inside.
I've never seen anyone removing the glass.
With the rear quarter window, there's usually a black border around the glass

No glass removed. Standard practice. The good tinters have it nailed at this stage. That'll give the mondeo an extra 30bhp. Amazing stuff.

I watched a guy do it years ago. He sprinkled talc on the window on the outside then lay the tint over it and used a heat gun to shape it to the curve of the glass first, then cut it to the shape of the window.

I had the dark tint removed off my 4x4, I couldn't see a thing at night and ran the risk of getting a yellow sticker from the cops (compulsory vehicle test) if caught.

API tint and graphics in midleton, I looked at solar guard but thought they would be expensive

I got the darkest one for the small fella in the back, we had window socks for the sun on the last car but they look stupid and scratch the bottom of the door

Ya same here it's a great job, solar guard done ours through Audi Cork but had loads of bubbles in it which looked ridiculous on a new car...

Interior after a good cleaning this evening.

^ A fan of Alexandra Burke I see

love the look of the houses opposite too

My car is meant to be driven, and it gets driven plenty

Went for a good long drive, only to pull up at a viewpoint of former youth, mischief and debauchery, to chill and watch the sunset. Was not disappointed

I'd that overlooking Derrmore house?

Baz, if you want to get the shiny look off the steering wheel leather, get yourself a leather cleaner spray and a pack of those magic sponges in Lidl. Brings back the matt, smooth, clean, new look of a steering wheel after a gentle clean.

Thanks for the tip MM. BMW steering wheel trim doesn't take very kindly to hands.

Here is Tony. Got him last week when I got back out here. Such a nice car actually, you can buy this model brand new for $28k!

I'll only have it for about 5 weeks but I think it looks the bidness in black anyway. It's no Hemi V8 but a 300bhp V6 does the job rightly.

Took a good 2 hours to wash and wax but im delighted. Until I seen a massive stone chip in the bonnet

Oh no it's a good two hours
Is that like a country mile ?

CharlieCroker · 13-05-2016 07:28PM

Does that not make it 6 hours in total??
