mine came from walmart but I know any parts store carries the stuff I used 5% Its dark but thats good then the cop cant tell if its a coors or a coke. hehe. but really its easy to do just make sure your window is very clean b4 you start. then get some dawn dish soap and mix allittle with some water, I jacked one of my girlfriends hair doin bottles with the had pump on them, and put the soapy water in there. that works really good then just spray the soapy water all over your window. then peal the film off your tint and put it on get a small rubber squegy or you can use your drivers liscens or a credit card to work out all the bubbles It not that tough once you get the hang of it

By the way glad 2 c another polaris fan on here

is this the kind of tint that you cant wash with anything but water or it will wear off?

You can clean the tint with windex or any similar product, as long as it doesn't have ammonia in it.

Only if you do a crappy job. The key is to have the glass COMPLETLY clean and don't roll the windows down for a few days so the water has completely evaporated between the glass and tint.

You can take it off whenever you want, but you'll need a razor blade and alcohol to get all the glue off. You're probably thinking of the static cling type film that you can peel and stick over and over, but thats for non roll down windows. Ok that's the last question answered!!!
