Default DIY window tinting

Anybody got some suggestions on how to tint your own windows. I know you can spend a couple hundred bucks to get this done professionally but it seems like a cool thing to learn how to do. Is there a good place to get some quality tints? I'm thinking about getting 18% tints or something close to it, I don't quite remember what % it was. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time.

get 70% tint for your windows because that is legal it is very easy to tint instead of paying all that money for a pro to do it just make sure you clean the windows with ferry liquid and make sure you have a spray bottle a very sharp knife for cutting the tint let me know wen you get your tint and i will show you how to do your tint stage by stage.

The best tip I can give you is to NOT tint the windows until you have taken care of the inside weatherstrip problem that
occurs with most Mercedes cars that have been tinted with the film. That is, the scratching of the tint by the weatherstrip (SEE
PREVIOUS POSTS). You will waste you time and effort and end up with a scratched mess later on. Happened to me not long after
having the windows done. I never would have done it had I known about the problem. Do it once, do it right. Right?
