Will opening the car window right after tinting affect the result?
1 Answers
Opening the car window immediately after tinting can affect the result because the glass and the tint film need time to fully bond. If the window is opened prematurely, the movement of the window can easily cause the film to warp, potentially damaging it. Generally, it is recommended to wait 3 days before opening the windows in summer and 7 days in winter after tinting. If the window is lowered, check for bubbles or wrinkles at the edges of the film. If bubbles or wrinkles appear, the film may need to be reapplied. Avoid getting the film wet or exposed to rain for the first 3 days, and refrain from wiping it for a week. Sometimes, a hazy mist or small bubbles may appear between the newly applied film and the glass. This is normal as the film dries and typically disappears on its own within one to three weeks. Be patient during this period and avoid lowering the windows to prevent uneven drying or marks caused by varying evaporation rates. It is also advisable to park the car in a sunny spot for the first week after tinting to ensure proper evaporation of moisture trapped under the film. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft towel instead of car wash towels, as they may contain fine sand particles that could scratch the film.
