Clip and Secure: Start by adjusting the Vinyl Wrap Tool Belt with Waist Clip to fit comfortably around your waist. Clip it on securely so you can move freely and keep all your tint tools within easy reach throughout the job.

Prep the Surface: Use the Black Razor Blade Scraper to carefully remove any old tint, adhesive residue, or dirt from the window surface. A clean base is essential for a smooth, bubble-free tint application.

Trim with Precision: Fit a fresh 45° Blade into the 9mm Knife and use it to trim the window film precisely along edges and corners. The angled blade ensures clean, accurate cuts without damaging the glass or film.

Apply and Smooth: Hold the 17 cm Reinforced Tint Squeegee Handle firmly as you work the tint film onto the window. Use smooth, consistent strokes to push out air bubbles and water, ensuring an even, flawless finish.

Finish Edges: Use the Green Diamond Hard Edge Tint Squeegee to press the film firmly into tight corners and edges. Its firm edge helps secure the film and prevent lifting, especially around curved or tricky surfaces.
