yep, you have to leave it in heat for 4-5 days cause you use soapy water to put it on. BTW, that tint will be easy to put on the sides, but hard for the back cause its a curved window that will need to be heated and formed a lil, also i"ll take more than one width of the roll so its gonna have lines.

And the back is a pain cause of the heater strips that go across the window it takes alot more work to get the air bubbles out

yea, its almost worth spendin 150 to have someone do it. my first time i tried it 15 years ago I ended up going thru that much in tint. So if you havent done it before, Id again advise taking it somewhere. Plus some warrenty from fade, peel, and some even have insurance if you get pulled over.

get a detail, they should take care of the scratches,

(TIP, if you can feel the scratch with your nail, or it is white, it cannot be remove)

Touch up paint might help you with some of those scratches too depending on how bad they are.
