Is Changing Car Film Troublesome?
2 Answers
Changing car film is relatively troublesome. Automotive window tinting film generally only needs to be applied once and does not require further replacement. Car films usually come with a warranty of 10 or 15 years, and only vacuum magnetron sputtering films can achieve this. If it's a low-quality film, you might need to replace it every summer because exposure to intense sunlight can render such films unusable. Precautions for Film Application: After applying the car film, when parking the vehicle, try to choose a place with ample sunlight. A sunny location ensures that the moisture inside the car film evaporates fully, resulting in better performance, but avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight. Effects: Due to variations in ambient temperature and weather conditions, the time required for the car film to dry completely differs. In winter or rainy weather, moisture may appear between the film and the car glass, which is a normal phenomenon. With exposure to sunlight, it will naturally dry and disappear within 4 to 10 weeks.
Changing car wraps does take some effort, mainly depending on how much you care about the details. Last time when my car wrap started bubbling and I went to replace it, the whole process took an entire day because the old wrap had to be meticulously cleaned of adhesive residue, otherwise it would affect the adhesion of the new wrap. Choosing between dark and light tints is another dilemma - dark tints offer better privacy but reduce nighttime visibility, while light tints are more transparent but provide less sun protection. A dust-free workshop is a must for installation, otherwise any trapped dust becomes a permanent flaw. The most crucial part is not rolling down the windows for three days after installation - being stuck in a stuffy car during summer is truly miserable. However, finding a reliable professional shop makes a big difference. They can thoroughly clean off the old wrap and provide warranties, ensuring the new wrap lasts five to six years without issues.
