Pre cut diy tinting

Does anyone have experience of or recommendations on, the quality of the various pre cut tint sets available via ebay ? I want to try DIY but with full sets from £25 to £40 it makes me wonder about their quality.

I've done a few with my mates a number of years back. They all turned out well, the key was to make sure the windows were spotless, and then clean them again. You need to stay away from any wind and make sure your away from any dust. Use loads and loads of soapy water. All the kits we bought from eBay seemed well. I don't know how long they lasted because we didn't keep the cars very long.

My mrs done my old 200tdi disco with pre cut tints off eBay (Worked as a visual merchandiser and had to do the shop windows) Very Happy But we had no problems with the eBay ones. As said above clean your windows and lots of soapy water.

Some good videos on YouTube

I chickened out of doing this and took my car somewhere to do it (badly). I do therefore have a full set of tint unopened, which was the best quality I could buy on the bay and all of the tools the YouTube videos said I needed. Cost me about £60 total but yours for £30 delivered if you want
