Do you need to remove the panels from my door to install tint?

Every vehicle is different, but if we can remove the door panels we will. In order for us to achieve a factory looking tint, we must be able to reach areas we normally could not reach with it on. As a glass and tint shop, we can assure you that our staff is experienced in removing panels and will do our very best to properly put it back without rattles.

 

How soon can I roll my windows down after tinting?

You can roll your windows down after 24 HRS, but 48 HRS is recommended.

 

What is the water streaks I see in between the film?

It is a term we call "puddling" where there is still water and moisture between the film. That will completely dry itself out in 4-8 days, depending on the type of film and weather conditions.

 

What can I use to clean windows with and how soon can I wash my car?

You can use a soft microfiber towel to clean your windows with any non abrasive cleaner. Please stay away from ammonia based products. You can wash the outside of your car anytime, but refrain from cleaning the inside for at least 4 days to allow the film to completely dry.

 

Does it cost extra to remove old window film from my car?

Yes it does and can vary in price depending on how bad the film has become. Be prepared to leave your car half the day if you are removing any back glass tint, since it takes a lot of time to remove it without damaging the defroster lines of your vehicle.
