Window tint questions... Yes i've searched..
My issue is the very small bubbles around some edges... Is it too dry? Not clean enough? With most tint it wouldnt be noticeable, but doing 2.5% or 5%, and even 20% it gets to be VERY noticeable!
What am I doing wrong?
1. Fluid I use: I use dawn dish soap. I spray the tint film as well as the glass very very well.. I dont think there is such a thing as getting tint too wet is there!?
2. I use rubber squeegees to set/apply the tint.
3. No speed drying tools are used (ex. Hair dryer/heat gun)
4. whats the trick in doing front/rear windows that have those factory black dots on them (usually found in back windows towards the top, and in windshields by the mirror) Tint doesnt stick to this stuff very well.. Is there a trick!?
Thanks in advance!

ive heard that you can spray some clear where the dots are to make it a little more even and then the tint will stick. i didnt know of the problem until after i had my tint shop install it so i just cut away the tint from the top defroster line and up and then spray painted the dotted area black and you cant tell unless youre right up on it and looking for it.
