GILA FS600 Window Film Complete Application Tool Kit

Sorry I couldn't take a picture before reviewing it. It works great made the window tint stick to the glass easy and no bubbles left on it. No spot marks or anything.

The Gila FS600 Window Film kit arrived quickly and in great condition, along with the window film I ordered to go with it. The spray worked very well with the film and the knife cut nicely until I had to start snapping off the ends to get to a sharp edge again. The new edge caught the film a bit on the corners, so I got around that by cutting from the middle of a window edge and sliding it outwards towards the corner, then going the opposite direction on the other half of the edge. The squeegee worked perfectly, even on my French door windows. Doing all of those took patience and a cold beverage. I ordered the 15 foot roll and the spray solution was plenty to complete a set of windows using nearly the whole role (except for the first piece which fell on my head and into my hair, causing me to make a run, hair sticking up all over, to the package store for some liquid patience. Preparation for an area to cut and move about freely, a second pair of hands, and reading the directions, that come with the film, before you start the project, are essential to success.

My true rating would be more like 3.5 stars. The solution worked well for the glass film I purchased. I used it even though the film said you could use water. This solution is mostly water with a couple chemicals thrown it. Not really sure if those chemicals were needed or not. The squeegee worked perfect for the six inch wide x 63 inch long side windows I was covering. The rubberized side of the squeegee is 6 1/2" long and the hard side, which I used most is 5". The utility knife worked perfectly for the project. Lint free cloth is more of a thick paper towel than a cloth. I didn't use it. My real disappointment with the product is when I opened the plastic packaging and the cap on the bottle was cracked. Not much has spilled out, although everything was damp, but because the top was broken, it would not spray. Luckily I had an extra spray bottle to pour it into. If I didn't have the other bottle, the product wouldn't have worked for me and I most likely would have been stuck with it because it would be too much of a hassle to send back.

Me sorprendió la calidad por el precio. Trae todo lo necesario y los materiales se sienten resistentes. Es práctico, fácil de usar y perfecto para pequeños arreglos en casa. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.

The film applicator spray is extremely necessary in installing tint and this bottle is just about enough to do a smaller sedan as long as you kind of know what you're doing and do not have to redo any windows. The paper-towel-ish cloth works well and doesn't seem to leave any fibers when you clean your window which is pretty important. My favorite part of this kit is the tool that comes with it! It is perfect for the job whether you are squeegeeing the film or using it to pry back the rubber on your window to tuck the film. This is by far one of the best tools out there and I would recommend this kit just for the tool! The worst part of this kit has to be the knife. The knife has the ability to spread butter and thats about it. It is essentially a breakaway utility knife but it was doing an awful job. I would have to break off two every window. And even then some times instead of gliding through the film, it would start to rip it! Overall I would recommend the kit however I would suggest trying to buy a better quality knife for cutting the film.

I mainly bought this for the liquid application spray and the squeegee. I have my own razor blades already, but I found this one very easy to use sand the blade extending came in handy when cutting the tint. The squeegee is very useful and nice that it has different sides to help with putting on the tint. The cloth is small and I ended up just using paper towels after using it for a bit. This kit is a great price and is helpful for beginners to tinting windows. I didn't know where to begin and was a good start, I would recommend after tinting some of my car windows to take your time and make sure all bubbles are smoothed out.

So glad I got this kit because it really helped to finish the project I had....three 5' x 3' windows in the living room. Comes with the solution, a knife, a lint-less cloth, and a small squeegee. I used a large hand-held rubber squeegee at first to ensure the whole tint stuck to the window, but it wouldn't take out most of the solution bubbles because the rubber on the squeegee was just too soft. The squeegee in this kit has a rubber edge, but is real stiff such that it will get rid of all the solution bubbles with the pushing of your hands, and the knife has the right thickness on its edges to run down the sides of the windows while cutting the film perfectly straight, and you'll have more than enough solution to spray on.....in my opinion, everything in this kit is exactly what you need!!

This is my wife's review. She has more sensitive skin than I do, and not everyone may have the reaction to the liquid that she did. Here's what she had to say: "I thought the relatively mild warning on the label was more or less for people who might accidently spray themselves in the face, but then I got a little on my hand. My skin was admittedly dry from the harsh winter, but the skin wasn't broken, so the burning sensation was somewhat alarming. I then also realized our two cats would probably be investigating shortly. I had visions of dead or poisoned pets, so I promptly ran cold water over my hands to help stop the burning, dumped the contents of the bottle into the sink, rinsed the bottle (and sink) thoroughly, re-washed the windows and frames, rinsed the privacy film I had been applying, and started over. This time I put plain water with just a drop or two of liquid soap into the spray bottle. I can't recommend the little cutting tool either, BTW. It is very flimsy, so the blade tip bends too easily and the blade slides too much while in use. One would be better off buying a real 'Exacto'. I already had one, so I switched to that. All in all, not worth the money, and there is absolutely no reason for the hazardous liquid, which came in a slightly leaky spray bottle. Not sure where the leak was in the pump/cap, but one would at least think the bottle would have been sealed, and the pump packaged with it, not already in it. I even had to rinse the package the things came in before trashing the packaging, as I wasn't sure how safe the residue might be around nosy cats. If you do use it, I recommend using disposable gloves, eye protection (I have glasses), be careful about inhaling (use spray bottle at arm's length). Please keep children and pets well away from the area, and remember to rinse everything thoroughly afterward, including the window sills and/or frames."
