The process usually takes 1 to 4 hours, depending on the car’s complexity, cleanliness, and number of windows. We recommend dropping off and picking up the vehicle if possible.

Warm water and two microfiber towels are recommended. Use one towel for cleaning and the other to dry for a streak-free finish. Avoid window cleaners containing ammonia, as they may affect the color of the window film.

Q6. Why do I see bubbles or patches after installation?

This is normal. Water activates the adhesive and helps position the film for installation. Although we remove most of the water, some remains between the glass and film. As it evaporates, you might see small bubbles or foggy patches, which should disappear within a few days or up to two weeks in colder months. Do not poke or pop these bubbles; they will resolve on their own.

Q7. Is it possible to remove the window tint?

Window tint can be removed anytime, but it’s a tough and messy job. Professionals have the right tools and know-how, so it’s best to reach out to them for help. Attempting it yourself could damage things like rear defrosters.

Q8. Will tinted windows reduce my visibility?

The impact on visibility at night depends on the film’s shade and quality. A dark tint, like 5% limo tint, will reduce visibility significantly. If this is an issue, opt for a lighter or medium shade.

Q9. Is window tint applied inside or outside?

Automotive window film is applied to the interior surface of the windows, ensuring it remains protected from external elements.

Q10. What Causes Bubbling or Purple Tint on Car Windows?

The tint appears to be either aged or of poor quality. The bubbles indicate a failure in the adhesive system, causing the tint to lift from the glass. The purple discoloration or fading is due to sun exposure on a film with a less durable dye over a short period of time.

Q11. How durable is tinting?

Window film is protected by a hard scratch-resistant coating designed to endure everyday use, including rolling windows up and down. However, “resistant” does not imply “scratch-proof”. Even glass is susceptible to scratches, so caution is advisable when loading and unloading objects with sharp edges or when releasing seatbelts, as these actions can cause small nicks that are not covered by warranty.

Q12. What kind of tint do you use?

We use Rayno Window Films, which offer three levels of protection: S5, S7, and S9 full Ceramic. These films do not interfere with cell phones, radios, GPS, or other electronic devices in the car. The film is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against adhesion failure, peeling, bubbling, and blistering.

Q13. Do I need to wait to roll my windows down?

It is recommended that vehicle windows remain rolled up for at least 24-36 hours after window film installation, with a longer duration in colder weather. This allows the film to cure and adhere to the glass before the window is moved.

Q14. Is window tint illegal?

Window tint can result in a traffic citation if it does not comply with your state’s regulations. It is strongly recommended to tint your vehicle according to your state’s laws. PENDOT is a great source of information regarding WINDOW TINT LAWS.
