PUSH Install Gel vs. Rapid Tac II
Rapid Tac II is the legacy default in a lot of tint shops. Here's the honest comparison for shops considering the switch.
| Feature | PUSH | Rapid Tac II |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per gallon mixed | ~$0.42 | ~$0.85 |
| Slip on dyed film | Equivalent | Equivalent |
| Slip on ceramic 30%+ | Better working time | Locks early |
| Tack aggression | Clean lockdown | Slightly more aggressive |
| Fragrance | None | Strong |
| Towel residue | Rinses out | Smell sticks |
| PPF-rated | Yes (with documented ratio) | Not officially |
The verdict
Rapid Tac II is fine if you run dyed film all day and you're happy with the results. PUSH is the better choice for ceramic-heavy shops, mixed tint + PPF operations, and anyone who cares about the fragrance issue.
