also th tint the pro's use and the tint you will buy yourself are very different, the stuff you buy in shops tends to scratch very easily

exactly. the tint film purchased from halfords or homebase lol usually peels off. the people who do it professionally use ovens an bake the tints on. had 3 cars done in the past never had any air bubbles or peepling looked good aswel compared to the people who done it themselfs

It is realy easy to do it yourself.
Make some good soap and spray your window and the sticky side of the foil, then lay it on the glas and with a flat and not sharp object you can push the water out under the foil. If nessasary heat it with you gils heardryer. (if you got little bubbles) ;)
I did this myself and it worked fine, no bubbles or anything under de tinting foil.

what he say's..

Here you would pay about 150 euro for all windows with titanium tint which is apparently non scratch and comes with a 10 year gaurantee :)

Best way to remove tint without any effort is to use a steamer..
Peels away soooooo easy..
As long as the glass is flat should be an easy job..
In the case of the rear glass, would recomend a pro as it require experience and skills..
