Before Your Window Tinting Appointment

- When possible, please remove all car seat restraint systems
- Decide on the shade of your tint; don’t worry – we can help!
After Installation of your Window Tint
- KEEP WINDOWS UP: Do not roll down your windows for three days after your window film application has been completed
- DO NOT WASH THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE GLASS: Do not wash or rub the interior side of the glass where the film is applied for the required seven-day period of drying time During this time, lots of sunshine is the fastest curing solution
- DRYING PERIOD APPEARANCE: Throughout the duration of the seven-day drying period, your window film will go through many changes. You may see a haziness or spotty drying appearance when viewing the treated glass from the exterior and sometimes the interior of your vehicle.
