do you know if water can be used on tints like it can be used on vinyl so the bubbles push out easier?

yh u can
but u just have to give it a few days dry out after,
so u might be best doing it wen it warms up
unless you have a warm garage
thats if you attempt it

well i have decided i am going to give it a go later on today :) if i can figure out how to post pics up of the end result i will do. it might not turn out very good but its worth a try. if it looks crap it will be coming straight off and going to a proper window tint company. :lol:
