Caring for Your Window Tint

Protect the investment — simple habits that keep your window tint performing for years.

The First Few Days

Leave your windows up for 3–5 days after installation (up to a week in cold weather). Rolling them down before the adhesive sets can peel the film edge. A light haze or small water pockets between the film and glass are completely normal during curing and disappear within a few days to a few weeks depending on temperature and sun exposure.

Cleaning Tinted Windows

Wait two weeks before the first interior glass clean. Then use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfibre towel — ammonia-based products (most household glass cleaners) break down tint adhesive and cause discoloration over time. Spray the towel rather than the glass to keep cleaner away from the film edges.

Long-Term Care

Quality ceramic film needs little upkeep. Avoid sharp objects near the glass — seat-belt buckles whipping against side windows are the most common cause of tint damage we see. Don't apply suction-cup mounts over film, and if an edge ever lifts or a bubble appears after the curing period, come by — small issues are easy to fix early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about window tint care:

When can I roll my windows down after tinting?
Wait 3–5 days, or up to a week in cold weather, so the adhesive can fully set. Rolling down early is the most common cause of peeled edges.
Is haze in new window tint normal?
Yes — light haze and small moisture pockets are part of curing and clear up within days to a few weeks depending on temperature and sunlight.
What should I clean tinted windows with?
An ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfibre towel, starting two weeks after installation. Ammonia-based cleaners degrade tint over time.
