Should You Wash the Car Before Applying Window Tint?

[MaddoxMarie]

It is necessary to wash the car before applying window tint. The method for applying the tint is as follows: 1. Use a specialized glass cleaner to remove dust and any dirt adhering to the glass. 2. Cover areas such as the hood and doors that might get dirty during the tinting process. 3. Measure the dimensions of the glass to be tinted and cut the film accordingly. 4. Apply the cut film to the glass, which has been sprayed with water, and trim it to fit the shape of the glass. 5. Use a heat gun to warm the film while pressing it with a plastic squeegee until it fully conforms to the curvature of the glass. 6. Clean the inside of the glass thoroughly. 7. Spray installation fluid on both the film and the inner surface of the glass before applying the film. 8. Spray installation fluid again on the surface of the film and use a squeegee to smooth it from the center to the edges, working from top to bottom and then to the bottom edge. 9. Finally, clean both the inner and outer surfaces of all window glass.
