Answer: Some of the newer vehicles have plastic window guides that can scratch the window film. Also, some older vehicles have very weathered window guides that could scratch the film. We apply a felt strip to the inside of the window guide to prevent this from happening.
Q: Will window tint affect or damage the defrosters in my vehicle?
Answer: Window film does not damage or affect the defrosters on your vehicle, we apply the window film right over top of them. However, we do recommend you wait at least 24 hours before using the defrosters.
Q: Can I tint the windows in my vehicle, home, or business during the colder months of the year?
Answer: Window tint can be applied to your vehicle in any type of weather because the film goes on the inside of the window. The film may take a little longer to cure depending on weather conditions. The moisture in the film needs to evaporate to complete the curing process. We recommend you not roll your windows down for 3 days after the film is applied no matter what type of weather. During the colder months of the year is actually a great time to get your windows tinted because waiting 3 days to roll your windows down won't be a problem! For residential and commercial window tinting the glass temperature needs to be above 40 degrees farenheit.
Q: What should I use to clean my windows after my window tint is installed?
Answer: For the best results clean your windows with a soft cotton cloth and avoid ANY abrasive or amonia cleaners. The best cleaning product is a quart of water with a couple drops of dish soap or baby shampoo. If the cleaner starts to streak you have added too much soap.
Q: Can window tint be removed and is it something I can do myself?
Answer: Yes, window tint can be removed. It can be a difficult task depending on how long the film has been on the vehicle. We recommend you leave it to a professional. Otherwise you risk damaging the glass and defrosters. We have specific methods we use to ensure we don't cause any type of damage to your windows or your vehicle.
