Aftercare, Curing, and Cleaning
Your new window film will take about 3 to 5 days to fully dry, sometimes longer, depending on film brand, type, and weather conditions. Until this time, your tinted windows may appear hazy or wet, and it may seem to have water bubbles.
Minor moisture pockets may appear during the curing process and typically disappear as the film dries completely.
If bubbles are still present after curing, bring it back to us, and we will redo it.
Always use a window cleaner specially formulated for automotive window tint and a microfiber towel for best results. Ammonia-based window cleaners can deteriorate the film.
Spray tint-safe glass cleaner on the window. Using one microfiber towel, wipe down the window and the second towel using one microfiber towel to buff away any remaining cleaner or moisture.
