New Tint Job & What to Expect/ Window Tint Instructions
Drying Period: Observe your window film at about 3-5 feet, look through it, not at it. Your film will take almost 30 days to fully cure. During this time the windows will appear hazy and there will be small water pockets caused by excess moisture trapped between the glass and the film forming a kind of “blister”. Do not squeegee, prod, or poke these water blisters, they will disappear once all the water has evaporated. DO NOT roll your tinted windows down until they are dry, 3-5 days, otherwise the film could peel and can cause damage that isn’t included in your warranty.
Imperfections: Although we strive for perfection in our window film installations, due to the nature of the product, some degree of dust or contamination and or minor imperfections are present in every window film application.
Scratches & Pre-Existing Flaws As a vehicle ages, dirt builds up in the window seals. As windows get rolled up and down the dirt build-up tends to make vertical scratches in the glass. Once tinted, these vertical scratches are more noticeable than they were before the window was tinted.Also, pre-existing flaws are often much more noticeable after the windows are tinted. Older vehicles will have more imperfections due to its age.
DOT Matrix (Black Dotted Edges): Most cars have a black ceramic “frit” edge on the rear window. Sometimes this ceramic edge is straight and flat, sometimes it will have a dotted edge, these black ceramic dots are quite thick on most cars and prevent the window film from sticking to the between the dots. This results in a gray/whitish looking strip trimming the glass. Typically, this isn’t very noticeable, however some cars have a wide band of dots trimming the top of the rear window. This area will look less than perfect and most times ununiformed.
Cleaning: Do not use anything that contains AMMONIA. Do not use any chemicals, scrapers, scrubber pads to clean window tint. We recommend anything that is SAFE FOR TINTED WINDOWS cleaning spray, soapy water and soft paper towels are the best option. Ammonia products will void the warranty.
Don’t Assume Tint is Invincible: Tinted film is quite durable, and the scratch-resistant coating on quality tint products is great for protecting your car windows from everyday us. Caution should be used when releasing seat belts. Small chips can be made in the window film due to the seat belt hitting the glass as it is released. But remember, scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof.
