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.
