How Long Does Car Window Tinting Typically Last?
1 Answers
Generally, branded car window films come with a warranty period of 5-10 years. The lifespan of the tinting film is closely related to the quality of the film chosen, the professionalism of the auto beauty shop that applies it, and the subsequent personal maintenance. Here are some maintenance tips for car window films: 1. Do not roll down the windows within 3 days after application. 2. Avoid cleaning the heat-insulating film or turning on the defroster switch within a week after application. 3. Do not use solutions containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the film surface. 4. Avoid prying the edges of the film with sharp objects. 5. If bubbles appear after application, they must be addressed at the installation shop within 24 hours. 6. Do not direct the air conditioner vent at the film to prevent extreme thermal expansion and contraction. 7. Handle expired films with care. High-quality films typically have a warranty period of 5 years. Once expired, owners should avoid attempting to remove the film themselves and instead visit a professional shop for adhesive removal. For American-made films available in the market, adhesive removal is relatively easier and does not damage the glass, ensuring the surface remains pristine for reapplication. 8. A small tip regarding warranty cards: Regardless of where the film is applied, always remember to request a quality assurance card.
