Is Car Washing Necessary Before Applying Window Tint?

[LeEthan]

Car washing is necessary before applying window tint. Whether you're changing the vehicle's color with a wrap or applying a paint protection film (PPF), ensuring the car is clean and tidy will result in a better finish. If you apply the film directly without washing the car, the presence of fine dust particles on the body surface may compromise the aesthetics and functionality of the entire film. Car window tinting involves applying a thin film layer to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. This film, also known as solar film or heat-insulating film, primarily serves to block UV rays, reduce heat transmission, prevent injuries from shattered glass, and minimize glare. Additionally, due to the one-way visibility feature of solar films, they help protect personal privacy.
