Window Tint Aftercare Guide

New tint needs a little time to cure. Follow these steps and your film will look great for years.

The first week

• Keep your windows up for 3 to 5 days. Rolling them down too early can catch the film's top edge and peel it.
• Don't worry about haze or small water bubbles. They're leftover moisture from the install and will dry out on their own. Warm, sunny weather speeds this up.
• Don't push on bubbles or pick at the edges.
• Wait about a week before cleaning the inside of the tinted glass.
• Leave the rear defroster off for the first few days.

Cleaning tinted windows

• Use an ammonia-free glass cleaner, or a little mild soap in water.
• Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels, scrub pads and razor blades.
• Be gentle around the edges and the rear defroster lines.

Long-term care

• Watch seat belt buckles, rings and cargo that can scratch the film when loading the car.
• Avoid sticking suction cups or decals on tinted glass.
• If you see bubbling, peeling or lifting after the cure period, contact your shop so we can take a look under your warranty.

Have paint protection film too? The same rule applies: give it a few days to settle before washing, and avoid pressure-washing the film edges.
