What are the methods and steps for applying car film?
2 Answers
Clean the car glass that needs to be filmed, dry the moisture, and cut the car film into the shape of the glass. Place the cut car film on the outer side of the glass and use a heat gun to shape it. After heat shaping is completed, you can officially apply the film. Spray the inner glass with water or window film installation solution. Remove the innermost plastic layer of the car film, apply the film to the inner glass, and move it to the most suitable position.
Last week, I just helped my friend apply window tint film to his sedan, which is quite a technical job. First, the car windows must be thoroughly cleaned using a squeegee and spray bottle, ensuring no dust is left behind, as it can cause bubbles. Next, measure and cut the film to size—it’s advisable to buy slightly larger film than the window for easier trimming. After peeling off the protective layer, spray the installation solution and carefully align the film before applying it. The key step is to squeegee out the bubbles, working from the center outward with even pressure, then meticulously trim the excess along the edges. Finally, use a heat gun to smooth the edges for better adhesion, and avoid rolling down the windows for two days to prevent shifting. If doing it yourself, prepare tools like a squeegee, spray bottle, and utility knife, and wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.
