After you’ve made the wise investment to have your auto, home, or business windows tinted, it’s important to ensure you’re properly caring for your new window tinting films. It’s not difficult, but there are a few things you should know.

Vehicle Tint

Drying Time:

Your new window tint will take about 3-5 days to be dry enough to roll the windows down and can take up to 30 days to completely cure, depending on film type and weather conditions. During this time your tinted windows may appear hazy or blistery and/or may seem to have water bubbles.

DO NOT roll windows down until they are completely dry.

Cleaning:

DO NOT clean the windows for the first 7 days.

Window tinting films may be cleaned with paper towels and plain soap and water. Ammonia and alcohol products should not be used. Window film cleaning products are sold at Beverly Hills Window Tinting.

Seat Belt Chips: Caution should be used when releasing the seat belt. Small chips or holes can be made in the window film due to the seat belt hitting the glass when released. This is one of the most common things to happen to window film.  These chips are not covered under warranty.

Residential / Commercial Tint

Your new window film will take approximately 30 days to cure. During the first 30 days you may see some blistering and a hazy appearance. This is a normal and temporary condition from the water used in applying the film. Once the moisture dries this condition will go away.

Windows in direct sunlight will dry faster than windows in shady areas or under lanais.

You will notice a thin white line (exposed glass area) between the edge of the film and the window frame. It is essential that this area be maintained to allow room for excess moisture to escape.
