Ricky just won Singles Flat Glass at Tinter Battles LA — and this episode was recorded live in the van on the drive home, minutes after it happened. Ricky and Josh Miller break down everything that went down at one of the biggest window tint competitions in the industry: Ricky's championship run and run to the heat gun finals, and watching their own trained installers — Diego and Armando — both fight their way into the flat glass finals.
In this episode of the Born to Tint Podcast, the Miller Brothers cover:
-Ricky's Singles Flat Glass championship win and the nerve-wracking 3-way tie-off that decided the last finals spot
-Diego and Armando making the finals after being trained by Ricky and Josh — and why that hit harder than winning
-Ricky's heat gun battle run, beating Sean G twice before getting knocked out
-The surprise curveball rule that let competitors pull gaskets — and why it separates the pros from everyone else
-Why squeegee technique and water extraction are still the #1 thing that separates a champion window from a rookie mistake
-Why a film handler saves you real money and cuts down on wasted film and contamination
-Advice Ricky gave a 17-year-old competing in his very first tint competition
-The question everyone's asking Ricky: does the reigning champ retire the belt, or keep defending it?
-What's next for the Miller Brothers — San Antonio in two weeks and a possible Miami showdown
If you're in the window tint industry, run a tint shop, or you're chasing your own competition circuit, this one is packed with real talk on technique, mindset, and what it actually takes to build a team that shows up and wins.
