The tint itself looks fine when applied. The issue is, it feels rather thin and can crease during install. I had to re-apply once because of the creasing. If you know what you’re doing, this should be fine. Otherwise, be cautious. I’d recommend this product if you have experience in the field.
My husband has experience of tinting the windows on his cars, so although he isn’t a professional, he does have a good idea of how to apply the window film and he has always succeeded in producing a professional looking finish.
He has recently acquired a small car for his commute to work, so was determined to give it a little make-over, which included tinting the windows.
My husband selected the ProShield Window Tint Roll in the light smoke 35% shade, for the two rear side and rear window of his car.
My husband has not been able to fit the window tint yet because we have been experiencing heavy rainfall and high winds over the last few weeks and he hasn’t wanted to take his other (classic) car out of the garage. He knows that even a gentle breeze will make it impossible to do a good job of fitting the window tint outside in the bad weather.
There is more than enough window tint supplied, so my husband has cut off a small piece to fit a sunshade across the top of his windscreen. The sun can be very low this time of year, so this tinted film is ideal to help reduce the suns glare when driving and it works really well.
My husband found the film easy to cut using the supplied retractable blade and he didn’t have any difficulty removing some air bubbles with the plastic scraper card (also provided).
He is very pleased with his sunshade and can’t wait for the weather to improve, so that he can get started on tinting the other car windows.
This is my first time tinting, watched hours of youtube tutorials, and eventually waited for a decent weather forecast to do the job. I have now learned a new skill after a whole day of faffing around and many failed attempts, too embarrassed to say how many – but I want the job to look perfect, and as such, if I can’t get it right, I just peel it off and start again – luckily with 6m of film provided on the roll it was enough for me to complete the job.
A few tips.
1. You will need a decent blade, the one provided is not the easiest to use
2. Get some tape, anything will do, to help you pull the backing cover off the tint
3. Use 5 drops of fairy liquid in 500ml sprayer, you want a fine mist
4. Have a hot air gun to hand (The kind you use for paint stripping etc)
5. Lastly – patience – perseverance –
I found the Tint film didn’t seem to shrink (like I had watched on youtube) and mould to shape when heated, it instead became more pliable, which enabled me to more easily squeegee out the long vertical lines that form at the top and bottom of the window – maybe this is because I am a novice, but I am fairly confident after all my attempts that this film isn’t great at shrinking, so for that reason it only gets 4 stars, though the final install is perfect, I can’t help but think that it could certainly have been easier!
For Flat windows with no curvature, I am sure this film is dead easy to install, but for cars it is very difficult requiring quite a bit of expertise to get a nice finish, and it won’t be achievable without a hot air gun.
This is a great quality tint film. As with all tinting it’s definitely not an easy process! Usually required cutting to precision then applying with soapy water and ensuring all the bubbles are squeezed out.
Preparation of the surface is key as well as making sure there’s no dust particles that get stuck in between.
The film it’s self is of great quality although separating the adhesive layer is quite tricky! If you can persevere then the outcome is great!

Here is a more natural-sounding version of the review:
I recently installed Less4Spares ProShield window tint on my home and car, and I’m very impressed with the results. The tint is easy to apply, even for a beginner like me. It comes with clear instructions that are easy to follow.
I chose the darkest shade of tint for my car, and it looks great. It gives my car a sleek and stylish look, and it also helps to reduce glare and heat. I’m also happy to know that the tint is blocking harmful UV rays.
I chose a lighter shade of tint for my home windows. I wanted to enhance my privacy, but I didn’t want to block out all of the natural light. The tint I chose is perfect. It allows in plenty of light, but it also makes it difficult for people to see inside my home.
I’m very happy with the Less4Spares ProShield window tint. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, easy-to-use, and affordable window film.
I put this Less4Spares ProShield Window Tint 1% on one of my windows. Instead of using a spray bottle with soapy water I used a soapy sponge on the window, then placed the sheet on it. I used a squeegee but couldn’t remove the bubbles fully. Cutting the sheet was a bit tricky even with a sharp knife but eventually I managed it.
Make sure to find out which side to put on the window – I found it out by putting tape on both sides and pulled them apart.
The adhesive tape which was holding the film was very sticky it left some residue, which was a bit annoying.
When it’s dark outside and the light in the house is on you can see the inside, but it’s still better than when there’s no film on the window.
I’ve applied this type of window film any times, so I’m reasonably familiar with the process, which is always a bit fiddly, and generally a little bit heart-stopping at the point that you think for sure that you’re not going to get all the bubbles out! But with patience and a good amount of soapy water, you always do.
A lot of the modern versions of window film I’ve used have also been self-clearing, in that they have micro-holes which slowly clear our any trapped air, giving you a really nice finish with less effort, and also mean that if the film dries, and you spot an air bubble that you missed when squeegy-ing, it’s no big deal as it’ll degass and clear in a few days. I would have loved to see this in the darker tints here.
This film cuts very easily with its backing on though, which is nice. I generally cut a little bigger, and use a scalpel to get that final neat edge, as I always find that trying to get the film to cling with no bubbles, whilst trying to match the edges perfectly is near-impossible. As others have said, using tape to remove the backing, and being sure to spray BOTH the window and the film, makes the job easier.
But this went on fine, the density of the tint is good and even, and I’m happy with the result.
