HOW TO CARE FOR TINTED WINDOWS

Window film is a wise investment, offering numerous benefits for your car. Understandably, if you’re going to invest in film for your windows, you want to get the best and longest life out of them. While our Window Film’s products are designed to exceed the competition as far as longevity, there are also steps you can take to increase the lifespan and ensure that your windows look great for many years. Here are some tips to help you care for your tinted windows well.

Proper Cleaning for Your Windows

Cleaning your windows properly involves the following steps: First, be sure to wait for the window tint to cure. This can take 24hrs, depending on climate, before cleaning. Some hazing and even water pockets are normal during this time, so don’t worry. When you’re ready to clean the windows, use a clean  cotton cloth. If cleaner is needed, choose one made specifically for window film, and avoid everything that contains ammonia or harsh cleaning chemicals.Turn the cloth regularly to present a clean surface.

Cleaning Solutions and Products

You might be wondering, what can I use to clean tinted car windows? The answer is a mild cleaning agent or water. We recommend never to use products with ammonia, because it will cause it to discolor and damage your window tint installed to the inside of your windows. You need to be careful and not damage the film by scrubbing or using a harsh cleaner. Use a spray bottle and a soft microfiber cloth with water if your window is not extremely dirty.

When cleaning your tinted windows, you also need to be careful around the edge of the tint. You don’t want to catch the edge when wiping down the windows or the tint will start to peel away from the glass.
It’s also better to use soft cloths when cleaning tinted windows instead of paper towels. A paper towel will often leave bits a fiber on the window and it’s hard to get a streak-free shine.

Window Film Do’s and Don’ts

  • Don’t use ammonia or other harsh chemicals.
  • Do use a chemical cleaner that states it’s safe for window film.
  • Don’t clean the windows right after having film installed, as it needs time to cure.
  • Do clean the exterior of car windows as you normally would, because tint is installed to the interior of the window.
  • Don’t roll down your windows that have been tinted for 24hrs after your installation or longer, depending on the weather, when you have the tint installed.
  • Do use soft cloths and squeegees to clean tinted windows.
  • Don’t use razor blades, scrapers or abrasive cleaning compounds on tinted windows.
It doesn’t matter if you have home window tint or auto glass tint, these tips will help ensure your newly installed tint will serve you well.
