Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I can recommend this widow film for anyone who wants to keep the light but lose view. Seller was great, arrived quickly and in good shape. Now that I have that out of the way, some details... This stuff can be simple enough to install, but that doesn't mean it will be easy. Take your time. Clean your windows, and then clean them one more time. Let's say you have, as an example, a large, lazy cat, who knows he is supposed to stay off the counter, but is a cat, so couldn't care less. You will want to first vacuum, dust, and wipe the whole area, THEN clean the window, THEN install the film. Otherwise it will go on looking great, and the next day you will be very aware of exactly how many cat hairs made it between the film and the glass. Nothing wrong with the product, but be very sure things are clean. (And maybe be a little more strict about the cats on the counter rule) Use plenty of water. I did not, and later discovered that every time someone tries to put this film up without using a good amount of water, another boy band is formed. I'm sorry. Also your film may not stick as well as it should. Be methodical and carefully get all the air bubbles and water squeezed out. I found that working from center towards the edges worked well. Make sure you use a new razor blade. Safely. (It's a razor blade) Lastly, I have used this on three windows so far, and have a couple more to do. I will probably have to do the kitchen window over (after the cat and I work a few things out, and I end up admitting that I am wrong, and just putting a little more effort into cleaning the hair off the counter next time) The other problem I have in the kitchen is from the previous owners, who perhaps splashed some food or maybe even some paint on the window, and then used a scotch-brite pad to clean it. I believe that the badly scratched glass created a problem with the film's ability to cling. I may try adding a couple drops of dish soap to the water on that window, but will ask the manufacturer first. I had plenty of trouble, but I can't fault the product for any of it. The garage window, while more difficult because of its size, went on great because of the lessons I learned from the kitchen window. Now I feel like an expert! While I did not enjoy the process of putting the stuff up, it really is a great solution that when done correctly looks really nice. One last tip: Once the film has been put on the window and is looking great - is NOT the best time to remember to take some "before" pictures.
