problem with tint?
I had some solar guard quantum 23% tint put on about a week ago and in certain light especially orange and yellow lights, a wavy pattern is seen on all windows.
Anybody else have this problem

Ya, for whatever reason their darker stuff acts like a prism at night. They have been around awhile, but only did house/office window films until pretty recently...they're still relatively new to the auto tint biz.
Go to a tint shop that doesn't deal solarguard and ask them about it, it's not an unknown problem.

Oh ya, one more thing...
Did your installer really use 20% film, or did he layer it? Layering is unusual, but when it gets done it can cause the same problem you're talking about...
