What does "dot matrix" mean in regards to this film? Does it mean it [film] can be applied on car windows without air bubbles underneath?

No it means that it has a lot of small holes for light to come through, not happy with its supposed to be static cling but it does not really stay well in the windows, I did not use them in a car just office windows that never open and they fall off.

You are still going to get bubbles... I did. Dot matrix I would say is just the pattern of the film. And I wouldn't recommend for car windows because as it gets hot it peels off because of how heavy the film is.

It means it has thousands of holes in it. Yes, it can be applied without air bubbles.

Dot matrix means it has holes in the film to give it that solid black look without blocking out the light and so you can still see out of it. It can also be used more then once after you take it off the window as long as the window is clean. And make sure you use windex to apply like you would with regular tint.

I am not sure about using on car window. There are small holes to allow some light through, but there is a slight distortion looking through it. May work well on a sun roof. I get little to no bubbles by using a spray bottle with water and a credit card to smooth it out. I use clear nail polish in the corners to hold in place, I have had three skylights covered going on 6 years now and only one had to be replaced due to a major storm. I have reused two others on sliding doors for the past 4 years and have not had any problems with the reapply.

Hi, It is not a one way tint like they put on car. It does not create any privacy. Just dims the glass a slight bit. If you put it side by side with a window without you will notice a slight difference, otherwise you will eventually forget it is even there. Kinda of tricky (requires patience) to install but not too hard.

it's a sticky thin clear film. User applies it himself. Very tricky to keep dust from getting trapped under it.

I am sorry, but I really don't know how the sticker will look on your not tinted glasses. Actually my car glasses are not tinted too. So I will stick it anyway.

Hello! This sticker sticks very well and if you apply it on correctly (as stated in the instructions) you shouldnt get any air bubbles. The sticker looks very smooth and slick. It's perfect and easy to use. Just apply it on your wall, use a credit card to remove any air bubbles and then remove the protective cover. Voila!

I can't attest to the ability to remove it and use again. I placed it where the exhaust from my diesel blackens my white paint. Now it is much easier to remove, protects the paint and is invisible to see. I had no problems with bubbles. I just placed it where I needed it and smoothed it out with a credit card.

It's a vinyl sticker. Wouldn't work. But I have it on my windshield and a few other pieces and it looks awesome. The best carbon fiber vinyl I've ever seen. Get compliments all the time.

Yes. Its best to apply to the inside of your car windows. If possible, have an extra pair of hands available to help apply window film.

the tint is even. it is not a "dot matrix" pattern, but it is difficult to get on with no bubbles. My wife did a better job on her car, but mine has a few bubbles, for our purposes this was fine. For the price we have been very happy with these shades, just make sure you put the correct side of the film against the window. Hope this helps.

Hello,We recommend that our film only be used on glass. These films were designed to be applied on glass, and not on other surfaces. However, our customers have had success in applying window film on other surfaces.The lower the % number for our Silver series, the more reflective the film will be. This film will be the most "mirror like" out of all of our films.

It won't mess the tinting. I have tinted windows and it does work. The only problem is that is makes the window a little blurry. Not easy to see through because it is like a adhesive paper, but you can reposition it several times if needed.

I actually just completed covering my window with this today. We arehaving temps in the 50 so can't tell how it will be in subzero but it adhered really good.It does have air bubbles occasionally like all contact paper. It just doesn't go on perfectly flush no matter how much you work at it.

Jon - Yes, all of our materials (other than rear projection film) block essentially all light from passing through. This material will work great for going over a window. Thanks!

I have not had any issues with the new panels, but my thought was to use the 3m protective film like you can get for cars if it started smearing again.

you need to go online and google the tint laws in mass, I got pulled over had dark tint and luckily the cop was friendly since I have 9 tinted windows on my SUV it would have been a lot of money - the fine that is. I do not recommend using the Gila films though, they are super cheap films. find a tint shop near you many are reasonable and are trained. so many people try to do their own car which is why you see bubbles and purple 3M crap - the Gila film is from Llumar but they have better quality the Gila is as basic a film as it gets

I use this product for plastic airplane and car models. It removes the fine scratches and "foggy" appearance from the "clear" windshields and styrene plastic remarkably well. I would test a portion of your screen and then proceed accordingly.
