I just got my windows tinted yesterday and of course i cant touch them or roll them down for 4 days, so on Thursday, how would i clean off the tint a bit? Its not bad, its just a couple smudges and stuff from when they put it on, what would i use to do this?

 

most tint shops recommend waiting three days before cleaning them. when its time just use mild dishwashing soap and a soft cloth. just be patient and wait it out.

 

you can buy tint safe window cleaner at walmart or autozone just find something that says tint safe....... don't use anything to abrassive to wipe the windows with

I would wait at least 3-4 days with your car in direct sunlight ( try not to park in the shade or in a garage as much as possible the tint will cure faster) to allow the film to cure before you clean them or roll the windows down

 

I use rain-x glass cleaner. It says on the bottle automotive strength and safe for tinted windows oh yeah and streak free!

 

the only thing you cant use is any cleaner with amonia, thats what turns the tint purple.

 

didnt know that, thanks

 

depending on the quality of film and how its made also determines weather the film will turn purple..... I know llumar window films are high quality and will not fade if installed and maintained properly that is the only film I worked with because of this

 

Now i just want to make sure.

I got my windows tinted Monday evening, and the guy told me dont roll them down for 3 or 4 days. Tonight will be the fourth day, but last i checked, i still have some air bubbles here and there. Is it still alright to roll them down, or do i have to wait until the majority of the bubbles are gone?

I had my windows tinted on my old car and i rolled them down right on the 4th day, and it didnt cause any problems. But i just want to make sure its okay, i dont want to spend another few hours getting the tint fixed.

 

How many bubbles you talking about? Bubbles should be very very very few and small if any at all! Unless either the tint sucks or the installer sucks!

 

I didnt really leave it out in the sun the first few days like i was supposed to, but it was out in the sun all day yesterday and i just checked. The front and back windows have very little bubbles, i mean maybe like 6 total, very small ones. The only thing i dont like is the back quarter window (whatever its called, the little triangle window that doesnt go down) has a rather large bubble i noticed there a long time ago, its not that big anymore but its still there.

So with just the few bubbles, can i put my windows down today? Or should i just put up with it one more day?

Also, when can i clean them?

 

I would say wait to roll them down tomorrow! you can prolly clean them with that rainx I told you about by Saturday!

 

Eagle 1 window cleaner is good and tint safe

 

Aw man, alright, ill hang in there. It just sucks so much, its ridiculously hot where i live and im more of an open windows guy than a A/C guy. Oh well

 

Yup, i bought the Eagle 1 stuff, people at Advanced Auto Parts recommended it.

 

i rolled mine down the next day. i just coudnt do it the first day he said. its been a year now and my tint is pimpin! i dunno.
