Can a newly tinted car be exposed to direct sunlight? The answer is yes. Here are the specific functions of car window tinting: Good privacy protection: Generally, car window films are one-way, which can protect the owner's privacy, but the owner needs to verify when choosing the car window film. Anti-explosion effect: In case of an accident, the glass with car window film will stick together after breaking, avoiding the splashing of broken glass, which is a protection for passengers. Thermal insulation: High-quality car window films can provide thermal insulation when used. In summer, they can effectively control the rise of temperature inside the car, and in winter, they can suppress the dissipation of heat inside the car, maintaining the temperature inside and creating a comfortable driving environment for the owner.
In the first few days after applying window tint film, it's best not to expose the car directly to intense sunlight. Here's my lesson learned: Once, right after getting the tint, I drove to the beach for vacation, and the car sat in the sun all day. When I returned, I found the film starting to bubble, with air pockets forming at the edges, leading to costly repairs later. After application, the film needs time to dry and cure, typically about three to seven days. During this period, excessive heat can accelerate moisture evaporation, causing the film to wrinkle or peel. To avoid such issues, I now always park in shaded areas, like garages or under trees, or use sunshades on the windows. Remember, window tint is for sun protection and privacy, but extra care in the initial days ensures its durability.
