Tips On How To Take Care Of Your Car Window Tinting

car window tinting

Car window tinting protects the inside of your vehicle from sun damage, increases car privacy among many other benefits. To continue enjoying the benefits that come with the tint you need to take good care of it. There are many ways in which you can do it with the best ones being:

Don’t let the car windows down

While the film might appear dry after installing it, it usually isn’t. In most cases, it takes 3-5 days for it to dry fully. In some cases, it might take longer depending on the type of film, brand, and weather conditions. Within the 5 days, the tinted windows have a lumpy or hazy look. If you could bring your windows down at this time, the tint will come off giving your windows an ugly look. To avoid this, you should avoid rolling down your car windows until the shade is fully dry.

Watch how you clean the windows

How you clean your windows greatly determines how long the window film lasts. For the film to last for a long time, you should clean the windows using a soft, clean cloth and an alcohol based cleaner. You can also use plain water. Regardless of how dirty the window looks, you should never use ammonia based products.  When you are cleaning the windows, always use fresh clean and soft materials. To avoid scratching the film, avoid using bristle brushes or abrasive scrubbing sponges.

Watch your seat belt

You should be cautious of how you use your seat belt. If you fling it, you can hit your window and in the process damage the film. To avoid this, you should be gentle when putting on and off the belt.

In addition to the seat belt damage, you should also be careful with the jewelry. Sometimes, jewelry with sharp edges such as watches and rings can scratch the film damaging it in the process which gives the window a sad look.  You should note that the imperfections brought about by the belt and pieces of jewelry aren’t covered by the warranty; therefore, you should exercise a lot of caution.

Conclusion

These are tips on how to maintain your tinted windows. How the tint is applied will go a long way in determining the quality of the tint and how long it lasts. For your shade to last for long, ensure that it’s installed by a reputable and experienced auto window tinting expert.
