    Use 30% alcohol, that's the 90% kind, and 65% distilled water, and 5% ivory dish soap.
    Trust me...I used to put crazy films on LCD displays for the millitary.
    Also get a few different sized squeegees.
    Plastic putty knifes work awesome.

    You also might want to have a buddy help you on account those films are big and create a lot of static.
    Try to be as clean as you can because that 1 hair is going to stick to it and it might drive you crazy depending on wear it lands.

    If you do get a small bubble and it won't budge, use a small needle to pop it and push it out in a circle.
    Also it is better and easier in a sense to start from the middle and work your way out.
    I wish I could help you:rofl:
    Take your time and you will be fine.

    I got the rear window in 3 pieces. The biggest piece should be the front windows

    if you can't get any help the painters tape will work in a pinch, but for the larger films it is easier to have an extra set of hands to help and hand you what you need.
    I almost forgot the most important tip!
    Thoroughly clean your windows then wipe down with alcohol after.

    He said he only pays $250/month. That's like a car payment!

    Daves is 16 acres.

    The one we looked at/drove by was 5. The guy was asking $55k or best offer. Could probably offer $45k and he would take it.

    It already has an A frame house on it.
