📄 YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION
Sky's the limit in this industry — and this week our Lead Automotive Installer Dylan Turnage proves it. From a 13-year-old summer job to running the install bay at Green Valley, Dylan sits down with Ricky and Josh to break down competition strategy, Tesla glass headaches, film science, and what it actually takes to master this trade.
🏆 TINTER BATTLES IS LOADING
-Dylan's 4th competition — and the mind games are already starting
-Pick your own opponent: do you hunt the killers or cap your downside?
-Why the quiet competition floor is a completely different kind of pressure
-The head-to-head everyone wants to see… and who's suspiciously silent
🔍 THE TESLA GLASS TRUTH BOMB
-Why the new Tesla glass is a nightmare to shave (soft, jagged, inconsistent)
-The UV "tint myth" every customer needs to hear before they pay for protection they already have
-Single-pane vs. laminated: what's really happening inside that door
🚗 INSIDE THE CRAFT
-Every way to attack a frameless door — precut, shave, micro gap, snap shrink
-Heat-shrink science: ceramic vs. dyed vs. the film that punishes every mistake
-Why crystalline will humble you (rainbows, heat scarring & no do-overs)
-The real reason it takes YEARS of reps to stick a window and just know it's good
💡 THE BUSINESS SIDE
-Reading customers: the ones who hunt for specks vs. the ones who just want dark
-How the industry went from secretive and closed off to open and collaborative
-The scarcity-mindset shop owner who lost his best installer — and why
Whether you're chasing your first competition or just trying to close more jobs with confidence, this one's packed.
