The last thing you want to see is your car’s window tint peeling off or fading shortly after getting it installed. But we have good news: With proper and consistent car window tint maintenance, you can prevent this from happening.
Read on to learn how you can keep enjoying the benefits of professional window tinting for as long as possible.
Your car window tint is like anything else in your car; the better you maintain it, the longer it will serve you. Unfortunately, many car owners don’t know how to care for their window tint. This is where we come in.
Let’s share a few tips that will go a long way in safeguarding window tint longevity.
First things first, don’t rush the tint curing process. If the adhesive doesn’t bond properly, the results will be short-lived. As such, you should give the tint anywhere between a few days and a couple of weeks before going back to business as usual.
You probably know to protect your car in hot weather. What you might not know, though, is that doing this isn’t just good for your car’s paint. It also helps the tint.
While direct sunlight can quicken the curing process, it can also cause bubbling and peeling. Also, harmful UV rays can make the tint fade a lot quicker. This explains why it’s always better to park your car in the shade to ensure consistent curing and a long-lasting tint.
We can’t talk about car window tint maintenance without touching on cleaning. However, there is a right way to go about it.
Once the tint has fully cured, only use a microfiber cloth to remove dirt and dust without scratching the surface. For the cleaner, stick to an ammonia-free cleaner to prevent the window tint film from getting damaged.
Knowing what to do isn’t enough. It is also just as vital to know what to avoid.
Scratch-resistant doesn’t mean scratch-proof; be extra careful when loading or unloading any item with hard or sharp edges.
It’s ok to wash your cars exterior. The film is applied to the inside surface of the glass. Washing the exterior is ok. Refrain from touching and cleaning the interior surface of the glass for one week.
Avoid spraying the cleaner directly onto your windows. Instead, spray it onto the cloth and then wipe the windows.
