How to Care and Clean Window Tint

Like anything else, if you treat it right, it will last for years, and that’s true of the window tint on your home or business. It is basically the same product, and especially right after the window tint’s installed that is the time to be the most cautious.

You shouldn’t even touch it for the first five days. Warn everyone around you not to touch it, or lean against it, or peer out of it, and keep children away from it during that curing period. For at least thirty days, that’s 30 days, don’t try to clean it especially with harsh chemicals. Of course curing time depends a lot on the weather and climate where you live. Inclement weather shouldn’t hurt the tint because it is on the inside of your windows, but bet you knew that.

Just because the window tint is on your window you may think you can apply stickers to it, and why not? Mainly because when you remove those stickers, you remove the window tint too. Not a good idea. Suction cups are another no-no, and bumper stickers belong on the bumper.

With new tint on a home or businesses window's individuals make take precations against people with wandering fingers/hands. A movement against the window tint can cause a wrinkle, a tear, or a pinprick that will grow bigger over time.

We’ve told you what not to do; now we’ll tell you the proper way to care and clean your window tint, so listen up. Soap and water works well on window tint, but window cleaner from your grocer or hardware store has ammonia and that’s not good. Clean with a soft cloth, sponge, paper towels from your house. Stay away from the brown paper towels, newspapers, or stiff cloths.

If you’re considering installing the window tint yourself, unless you’ve had experience doing that job, it’s probably best left to the professional. You’ve seen blotched jobs where the tint wrinkles, doesn’t fit from window frame to window frame, and is just a mess. When you watch the professional install the window tint, it looks so easy, all you have to do is stretch it across the window, get the air bubbles out of it, but when you try it, it’s not that easy.

The best care you can give your window tint is to have it installed properly, wash carefully, and it should last for a very long time, at least for the life of your car.
