I knew going in that doing it outside with the elements working against me would not be the ideal situation. I am probably going to go buy a low heat hair dryer tonight with a flat attachment and probably take a bit of heat to the front windows tonight and see if the few minor imprefections improve.
I was lucky that there aren't any dirt particles that I can see in the windows, but then again it may just be too small to see. I definitely agree as I stated in my OP, doing this in a garage will make things much easier. I just didn't currently have that luxury and until today did not know i was going to have that luxury. Luckily I found a new apartment with my won garage.
Through all of this please know that I admit zero expertise in the field of tinting, but enjoy learning everything I can, even if it is by trial and error. I am open to hearing all questions, comments, and criticisms as well as any suggestions that anyone may have. I did this to help those moving forward who wanted to do their own tint.
Great job for first attempt, great job for sure. While I am usually the first to say, take it to a professional, if you can not find a professional around you that you trust, better to go through $30 of tint trying than to pay serveral hundred and have a 'professional' screw up something on your ride.
I would suggest not trying the heat at this point as more of the glue has adhered to the glass and you could mess the film up pretty badly. Heat should only be applied when still the film is still wet and moveable. The only thing I could suggest is if you have some small bubbles that will not go away (after several weeks of the car getting warm out in the sun) I would make a TINY hole in the bubble (with a pin) and apply some heat. Usually this method works well for an after the fact fix, should lay right down....
