World's Best Tint Hack

Hello, my name is Ralph and I work with flexible films and I have a confession to make today in this video. I'm a tent pirate, yes I'm a tent pirate at heart, but I'm a self-proclaimed tent pirate. That is the

best

thing in the

world

and this leads me to a challenge. I want to challenge you to do what I'm going to do in this video, it's not a side window of a vehicle, but you can only use certain tools, which are. a hair dryer a spray bottle a driver's license a razor blade I'm talking about one of these bad boys right here and a paper towel that's it you have to work on the car take the tent out of the car cut in the car no You can use the props cheats from the store, I don't have that and see how good you can make it, see if you can't have a better side window than me because right now I'm the

best

in the

world

and if you think you can beat me,

hack

it, it's Well, let's leave it.

This challenge starts, I'm going to start my I want to talk about how I'm going to go and that bottle is bad. I'm going to go over and talk about my steps here to see how we're going to

hack

. this, but every hacker has to at least start somewhere. I'm going to put out my tools because I don't have the luxury of my apron. I'm going to have to put them in the seat. Driver's license. Paper towels. I'm going to go and put my bottle there. I'm going to go ahead and prepare my sword. Bam. I'm going to come here.

I'm going to extend the movie. I know I need to look at it. Alright? I'll get some more, there's more water there, put the leaf somewhere, how about there? Okay, I'm going to figure out which side I'm going to work on. I take the mirror out of the way. I'm going to take advantage of it. one of these straight edges that's here because I'm going to align it at the bottom and by the way, while I'm making this video, I'm going to call out some of you because I know you're hackers. I'm going to call people out like, let's start with Randy Humph, he's a world champion, but I know he's a hacker.

I know he can probably do this too. I would like to see it. It probably is. I bet Johan Kim would be the best CU. I saw him, he won the flat glass competition this year and he did it with a side slider that's a car on a flat glass that's a hack, guys, I bet Rick Tomman would be good at this. I know this is probably what Rick This is my driver's license. I'm going to have to secure the movie here. Let's see what we can do. This is fun. I haven't done this in a long time, but I'm going to do it. do what makes a hacker I think it's in your head that you're a hacker because you know a good have can use hacking tools and probably do a decent job we're about to find out okay oh man it's still going moving a little.

I can't understand that, you know I can't get that anchor like I want, but that's okay. I'm going to be very careful. Maybe I'll try this. Let's wrap the driver's license with a paper towel. Let's see if we can get it. any influence that way, oh, maybe, yeah, it's starting to anchor a little bit well, now I don't know how I'm going to approach this, but I'll probably come here and maybe bend it a little bit. my card my driver's license I can and I think I can get a nice clean line by bending it and probably bending it around here all the way to there in this particular vehicle because I know I can roll down the window and leave that edge exposed as far as I can cut it off I'm going to try to shoot for a micro Gap um with this technique because I think I have the best chance, but I may have to turn around and shave it, but I have this blade.

I'm no good, let's just see what happens as we go, folks, there are no rule books. The Packers don't need rules, we just hack, mhm, look at that, now let's see what I can do with this Edge. I'll get that lead, but I don't have much to work with, folks, but here we go, let's try to see what can happen. That's my driver's license. I have to keep her well. I'll try to see. what can I do with this razor blade here just won't cooperate look at those people who are hacker 101 right there I could be doing it myself here oh let's see where my driver's license is.

I'm going to smooth that out, I think I can really make this come together, here we'll see what, man, this all comes together pretty well. I'm impressed, in fact I'm trying to smooth out that little hack job up there. What if I can bring it? It will be amazing, oh. yes, beautiful, beautiful, I'm GNA, let's go with it, I'm GNA, let's go with it, look at that man, I can't believe how this is turning out. I'm going down there, he sees that people have a baby. steering wheel right there, but I'll cut it off before you know it, okay, I'm going to have to cut the sides, I'm afraid to keep cutting this, well, let me try a little more around here, okay, I'm going to I can't use the glass from my store.

I have to use my resources here. I'm going to have to use this as a pill board. Now the question is will this scratch the glass. We don't know, but I'll better find out in a minute, but I'm going to be very careful. I see the little crease I just made, so I'm going to try to carefully cut the straight edge on the right side of that crease. On that, uh, no, I didn't scratch the glass, but I'm going to be very careful. I'm not putting much pressure on this. A bad hacker would scratch the glass.

He would have pushed her too hard. Not good. hacker, there is a difference though, I put a little crease on this sucker, so I'll have to use my left hand to smooth it out. I have these little places that just don't satisfy me. I can do something like that. It's like I cropped them a little bit, that looks a lot better, okay, I'll do that. I'm not going to remove the sheet, I'm just going to put it here. You know, I know I've probably shrunk a little. I could do that, but I'm not going to worry too much about it, but I'm going to get ready to install this.

Oh, I forgot. I have to scrape it off. I'm glad I have my sword. Let's think about other champions that exist. I know they're hackers Jason Petty I know you're a hacker I've seen you I've seen you man I know you could probably do this pretty well I know David de ro is probably the biggest hacker I can think of I think he Still the tricks tell you the true, but I bet you could probably hack it and make the thing look good. By the way, I'm using an American style film. I'm going to have some really sticky glue to work with. um I got a sample in the mail, but you know, if you really want to get points from me, go to the auto parts store and get some of the cheapest stuff you can find and then if you can do a good job with it. man you're really a certified hacker you're going to get a lot of credit with me that's probably what I'm going to do next pick a harder car and get a harder movie to work with once you see how I can do this exercise oh yeah, this is clean glass, you hear that sounds clean.

I put some tent tack in my solution here. I probably could have used some baby shampoo. You know, that's for babies. We could have done it. degraded with that, that would have been a little harder to use, well hey, I had to do something, make it a little easier, okay, okay, yeah, I have L everywhere, man, let's deal with it, um let's see let's I've got to find a way to remove the L that's all we've got here folks let's see what we can do now if you've got a guy that's been trying to get into your house every day and you've got a cat up . driver's license I don't know what to tell you man, just good luck.

Well, when I started camping, what I would have done is I would have probably put the movie on here and then I would have taken the driver's license and used it. like a ruler and I kept cutting a space there, but we're an advanced hacker, we're not going to use that technique anymore, okay, we're going to make this nice and clean, we're going to get all the dirt out of it. This is not normal for me as I normally think, but I think I had the impulse with this driver's license to take this Lin off. I'm cleaning it every time that thing is full of lint, by the way, and by the way, yes I'm going to be a real hacker.

I don't want to catch you with a shop towel. Lint-free workshop towels. Uhuh, I can't do it. You have to use a lint towel. I use Bounty if you want to use one. a cheaper one, we will give you more quality points, you can discard it, that could be working. I think some of these hackers I've seen just don't have good eyes, if you see the fluff, take it off, look at that, bam. we got it good, let's see what happens, okay, let's go ahead and put a good layer of water on there. By the way, I don't want to ruin my paper towel.

I've only used two squares of paper towels if you use more than that you're not a real hacker. I'm going to take this right off the truck. I did it. I didn't have a chance to get the truck dirty. You know, I'll dust off the truck. So I'm going to I have to be careful how I spray this, that's probably all I'm going to spray because I'm a chicken. I have the door pretty good. Well, let's see what's going on here, folks, you know, it's not bad at all. I'm going to have to show a little to make this how I want it.

I have a big fall here. I have to be careful. Oh yeah, look at that. Gap friends, it's okay. I want to seek perfection here because it is me. I'm the best in the world. I can use this Gap, but I'm not going to make this Gap. This Gap is not going to give me the world title. I'm going to have to shave this bad boy and I've never shaved with a blade like that but we're about to make it happen here's a guy I met in Douglasville he's still around I don't talk to him much his name is Stanley he shaves everything with a regular razor blade never used a knife Ula guy phenomenal Tiner phenomenal I've never seen anyone do it so well with tools, I'm not even scratching this movie with this, it's a good driver's license.

Look, I've never had to force anything, not recently, anyway, it's okay, I can make a hybrid, I can do it. a little shave, let's see and do part of the micro Gap. Now we can go back to the end and shave this. I'm going to use this paper towel on the license to do a final moisture extraction. I guess that's the problem with the driver. License, you can't get the moisture out like you could. I'm going to have to get out my hair dryer. It seems like just for this film to start sticking, that will help me tremendously, especially if I try to shave.

Anything, let's go for it, I'm extremely hot. I'm going to put the hot setting on high, look here, man, make sure you're on the hot setting, we're going to try to heat the edge up a little bit. A little bit of fighting here as soon as I heat up this edge, the edge. I'm going to warm it up from the inside too. I just want to feel a little warmth in this glass. I could shave it wet, but I'm No, I'm not very good with that sword right now. I'm not comfortable with that sword and I want to see a little more grip here to do that.

I'll try. Okay, now let's turn that off. Let's get on with the tent work now and come back and deal with the edge later. I can shave it or do whatever I want, but I'm going to let it dry for a few minutes while I finish tinning the window. I'm going to address the background here. I have to get some more fluff out. I'm probably never going to dirty that paper tile again. I'll just make sure the background is okay. I have to give him some. assistance here on the wringer part, look at that, okay, I can look at myself in a squeeze.

I'm just doing everything I know, man, with the tools that I've put in place, just plant that in there so far. Well, let me squeeze the water out of you from there to now, very good here. I mean, I'm happy, I'm happy with that. We are in the downhill section. People are going to get I guess the best tool to absorb. Humidities that I can do here with the paper towel and the license. I'm going to look at my edges to see if I need heat on the ones I probably make and where I bend it a little bit to see where I need to make my cuts. look at that folks, it's a pretty close deal besides that edge, let's see here I have my little place there nothing there let's let it warm up a little bit go back to hot high bad G this takes a minute wo now I'm going to feel a little warming up from the inside.

Wow, it's working. In fact, I'm glad I didn't have the cheat film trying to get this Edge to stick just a little. I go in and shave it, we'll work our way through this, people are trying to get it. everything holds up well now for the shave you might want to get a close up of this. I'm still not sure how I'm going to approach this. I think I'm happy, I'm not sure yet. Let's check everything again. The Edge, the final view. I'm going to make quick work of the paper towel on the cleanup with these little wet paper towels that I had left over so I can't use much just a few squirts just to get the fingerprints off and get everything clean there's a little . lint on these things but hey, I'm going to go outside, I'm going to do the edge now I have scratches on my glass here, it's not that bad on the outside, I'm going to get rid of the fingerprints and do one last one on the inside. to an overseas final, bam, look at it, folks who would fly, that's a hack job, see if you can do a better job.

I'm sure they can, but this isn't my only video. I'm going to work a little more with some more challenging curves and toes and stuff like that and see if I can work my way through that, butnow you know we'll get a close up and look. on the edges and stuff, this isn't a bad hack job folks, I challenge you to see if you can do it better.
