How To Care For Newly Installed Car Window Tint – Expert Tips from Empire Auto Spa


Introduction

Congratulations on your newly installed car window tint! It’s a great investment that not only enhances your vehicle’s appearance but also provides protection from harmful UV rays and adds privacy. However, to ensure its longevity and maintain its pristine look, proper care is essential. Empire Auto Spa is here to guide you on how to care for your new window tint.


The Initial Days


1. Avoid Rolling Down Your Windows

For the first few days after installation, refrain from rolling down your windows. This allows the tint to cure and adhere properly to the window.


2. Steer Clear of Harsh Sunlight

If possible, park your car in a shaded area or garage during the initial days. Direct sunlight can interfere with the curing process.


Cleaning and Maintenance


3. Use Ammonia-Free Cleaners

When cleaning your tinted windows, always use ammonia-free window cleaners. Ammonia can degrade the tint over time, causing it to discolor or bubble.


4. Soft Cloth is the Way

Always use a soft, clean cloth or a microfiber towel to clean the windows. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch or damage the tint.


5. Avoid Sharp Objects

Keep sharp objects away from the tinted windows. Accidental scratches or cuts can damage the tint and may require a section to be re-tinted.


Spotting and Addressing Issues


6. Bubbles are Normal – Initially

It’s common to notice small bubbles immediately after the tint installation. They usually disappear once the tint fully dries and cures. However, if they persist after a week, consult your installer.


7. Peeling Edges

If you notice the tint’s edges starting to peel, it’s crucial to address it immediately. Avoid picking at it and consult your installer for a fix.


Conclusion

Taking care of your newly installed window tint ensures it remains in top condition, offering optimal protection and aesthetics for years to come. With these expert tips from Empire Auto Spa, you can enjoy the benefits of your tinted windows without any hassles.

Choosing Between Ceramic and Metallic Brake Pads.

September 23, 2023
Choosing Between Ceramic and Metallic Brake Pads – Expert Advice from Empire Auto Spa Introduction Brakes are among the most vital components of any vehicle, ensuring safety and performance. One of the primary decisions car owners face is choosing between ceramic and metallic brake pads. Empire Auto Spa breaks down the differences, advantages, and considerations to help you make an informed choice. Ceramic Brake Pads 1. Composition Ceramic brake pads consist of dense ceramic material combined with copper fibers. This composition ensures consistent performance and durability. 2. Advantages Less Dust : Ceramic pads produce less noticeable dust, keeping wheels cleaner. Quieter Operation : They tend to operate more quietly compared to metallic pads. Consistent Performance : Ceramic pads offer stable performance across various temperatures. 3. Considerations Cost : Generally, ceramic brake pads are more expensive than their metallic counterparts. Heat Dissipation : While they handle heat well, they might not dissipate it as efficiently as metallic pads in extreme conditions. Metallic Brake Pads 1. Composition Metallic brake pads, often called “semi-metallic,” contain anywhere from 30% to 70% metals including copper, iron, steel, or other composite alloys. 2. Advantages Heat Dissipation : Metallic pads excel in high-heat, high-performance situations. Durability : They tend to last longer in demanding conditions, making them suitable for heavy vehicles or those used in rugged conditions. Cost-Effective : Generally more affordable than ceramic options. 3. Considerations Noise : Metallic pads can be noisier than ceramic ones. Brake Dust : They produce more brake dust, which can stick to wheels. Making the Choice Your decision should factor in your driving habits, the vehicle’s purpose, and your budget. For daily commuting in regular conditions, ceramic might be the way to go. However, for high-performance vehicles, heavy trucks, or cars frequently driven in demanding conditions, metallic might be more appropriate. Conclusion Both ceramic and metallic brake pads have their merits. It’s essential to understand their differences and evaluate your needs. Consult with professionals, like those at Empire Auto Spa, to ensure you make the best choice for your vehicle.
