Can the car be exposed to the sun immediately after window tinting?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to expose the car to the sun immediately after window tinting. Direct sunlight can affect the shrinking of the film, causing the edges to bubble. If this happens, promptly return to the installation shop for treatment, as dirt can easily accumulate under the film, affecting its appearance. Try to address the issue within 3 days. To minimize the risk of bubbling, ensure the windshield is thoroughly clean before tinting. Typically, use a lint-free cloth to wipe from dry to wet, top to bottom, and then dry the edges of the glass. Considerations when purchasing window film: Clarity of the film: High-quality films usually have a transparency of up to 90%, allowing clear visibility of objects beyond 6 meters at night, regardless of the shade. Feel of the film: Genuine automotive films have a thick, smooth texture. Color of the film: High-quality films have pigments evenly fused into the film, making them durable and resistant to fading. In contrast, low-quality films have color mixed in the adhesive, which can peel off when scratched with a fingernail after removing the inner lining. Odor of the film: Low-quality films often have a strong odor due to high benzene content in the residual solvents of the adhesive layer, which can severely harm the driver's health. Bubbles: When the plastic inner lining of a low-quality film is removed and reattached, bubbles may form, whereas high-quality films remain intact. Warranty period of the film: Films produced by reputable manufacturers usually come with a longer warranty, typically 5 years.
