The most efficient and seamless
This is probably the best value for your money when it comes to installing any type of film over your door, whether it be for privacy or for business purposes, it has been paramount for me in a sense of the fact that I had tried installing several different coverings over my door to my storefront For privacy reasons and each time I ended up having these air bubbles and this is the only brand that turned out to be the best because it made it very easy for me to ensure that there were no air bubbles because of the design of the scraper for lack of a better term. Also, the spray was hands-down the best I really did try so many different ones before this and this is the only time it has been actually effective and is still sticking there and I’ve also installed some of my windows and doors using this and I also use it for other business practices as far as ceiling boxes for shipping, ensuring that the tape is flattened down and the precision knife is handy for anything. It’s very versatile for multiple different tasks not just for window or privacy film tasks. This is the best value for your money and it’s not just for one thing you can use it for multiple and you will be very satisfied. I can ensure that take my word for it because I learned through trial and error.

Does the job
Works like it should, pretty easy to apply. The cutter is very small but cuts well.

Convenient tools to install film
No directions included, they tell you to watch videos instead. I hate video instructions because things like accents or script errors cause to have to watch multiple times. Clear written directions would be a welcome addition to this kit.I'll admit I bought another kit along with this one because of the complaints about the trim tool in other reviews. I didn't need all the cutting tools in the other kit because this trim tool works flawless. Hold it straight flush to the edge and it leaves a tiny gap like recommended. It adds a little support to the film so it doesn't want to pull back while cutting like happens with a hobby knife.The squirt bottle is nice, but it's just soap and deionized water. This will be enough to do a couple windows but if you need more just Dawn and distilled water will do.Use way more than you think will be necessary, this helps push any trapped dirt out. If you notice some dirt, peel back film and squirt more soapy water in, it'll come out.Over all, worth the price. Got on Amazon because local hardware store was out of them.

Works Perfect for Installing Tint
I purchased this to install Gila UV and privacy tint around my house. The kit includes a bottle of the Gila liquid surfactant spray, squeegee, and very useful cutting tool. If you aren't sure if you want to buy a squeegee or the cutter and are thinking about using something else, I'd definitely suggest using these instead.Pros---The cutter works great for making perfectly straight lines, cutting right against, or even a little inside the metal that wraps around the edge of a home window. It is easy and comfortable to hold.-The squeegee is a good size and works well-- BUT-- the tint must be soaked with the surfactant when you squeegee or else you can scuff or tear the tint.-Surfactant works great, but you need to use A LOT. Keep that in mind-- I'd suggest buying an extra bottle (sold separately). I've read that you can use water with some dish soap, however I chose to use this for peace of mind since this was my first time tinting.Cons---The cutter works GREAT for making perfect straight lines and cuts so close to the metal edge that it makes it look seamless; however, it is terrible at making straight edge corners. I was able to get the corners cut very close to the edge that even though they are not great corners, you can't tell unless you're looking for it. Unfortunately I don't have advice about making perfect edges. This could also be due to my lack of knowledge in applying tint.

Great Product
We purchased this product after looking for alternatives to curtains and creating marks on a wall of a rental space our daughter was using for college. This product appears daunting, but I can assure you it is very easy to install. First, I chose not to use the adhesive spray that came along with the product as I didn’t want issues removing it after the lease had expired. Generously spraying the window to be treated with plain water (after a thorough cleaning) proved to work just as well. The water and static electricity do the trick to keep the treatment on the window even after it dries. I also learned from trial and error that pre-cutting the product provided poor results for me. So, I cut the product after application with the cutting tool provided. I also removed the plastic film from the entire roll before application as this made it much easier to apply. I totally surprised myself with the results. The product allows ample light to enter the space while providing an opaque medium to keep people from looking in. During the evening hours and with the lights on, the product provides a reasonable amount of opaqueness to prevent “peeping toms” from looking in. Overall, a great product that I highly recommend.
