Usually, tinted car windows block the ultraviolet sunlight rays that can harm your skin. They also offer privacy from people looking into your car. While tinting is a long, time-consuming process, most people can tint their own windows with only a few basic tools.
Find a clean, dry work space.
You need a clean environment to prevent dust and dirt from mixing with the tinting. Doing everything indoor is not a bad idea. But if you want to work outside, you should choose a clean and dry place.
Remove any stickers or adhesives from the windows.
Remove any stickers inside of your car screen and clean off all the adhesives or any sticky things that can create problems with the film sticking on the windows. Remove all the obstructions inside the car that can restrict your process and get in your way. Finally, vacuum the interior to get rid of dust.
Clean up the windows using soapy water and a 1" razor blade.
Lower the window slightly so that you can get the top as well. Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water and spray or wipe it on the window, then use the blade to scrape away all the dirt and grime. Make sure you clean both sides of the window well, removing everything.
Spray the outside of the window with soapy water.
The water will help the tinting temporarily adhere, but still make it slippery enough to slide around and put into place.
Place the tinting over the outside of the window so that it covers the entire window.
Unroll your tinting so that it covers the entire window, with at least 2-3" of extra tinting over the edges. The liner (the part that will later adhere to the window), should be facing you.
remove the liner -- you're just sizing and pressing the tinting right now, now adhering it.
The simplest method for sizing the tinting is to place it over the outside of the window. You'll cut the correct size, and then you move the tinting to the inside for adhesion. Make sure you're sizing the tinting in reverse. Tinting only has one usable side, so you need to size and cut the tinting in the opposite direction so that it fits properly on the inside.
Prep the inside of the window with soapy water and a squeegee.
You're going to go through a lot of soapy water in this process. You can use a hard edge to get in between the seal and the window for a better clean. When done, spray the whole window with soapy water.
Peel off the top half of the release liner from the tinting film.
Window tint works just like a sticker. There is a removable layer that adheres to the tint and keeps the adhesive solid. You should, however, only peel off only the top half for now-- it makes it easier to work with.
Just gently work the tint between two fingers like you were snapping to get the adhesive layer off.
Spray off the now-exposed section with fresh water.
- It’s normal to see bubbles or hazy windows at first. Even after a professional window tint, you may see a few tiny bubbles under the film and a haze on the glass.
- The drying time will depend on the weather and season. During the summer, the sun will help your vehicle’s film cure (or dry) within two to four days of a window tint.
- Your windows may be stronger, but they’re not invincible. Tinting your windows makes them scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. So you’ll still want to be gentle when moving sharp objects, boxes, and sports equipment around your interior.
- You can (carefully!) wash your tinted windows at home. If you want to wash your car at home after the film fully dries, just follow these easy steps for proper tinted window cleaning
