Once your vehicle’s windows are freshly tinted, it is essential to exercise patience during the initial curing process. Tinted windows need time to set properly. To avoid any complications, do not roll down the windows for at least a week after the installation. Rolling the windows down prematurely can damage the tint or cause it to catch on something since it is still wet. During the time, it is crucial to keep your windows up to ensure the tint adheres evenly and securely.

For the first month following the tint installation, resist the urge to clean the inside of your windows, Although it may be tempting to maintain a spotless interior, this waiting period is essential to ensure the tint is entirely dried and firmly in place. Cleaning the inside prematurely can disrupt the curing process, causing the tint to shift or develop unsightly bubbles. After the waiting period is over, us a soft, lint-free cloth, and a mild, ammonia-free cleaner to clean the inside of your tinted windows.
3. Banish Ammonia Products from Your Care Routine
