Window Tint AftercareWait for the curing period: Avoid rolling down your windows for at least 48 hours after the tint installation. This allows the adhesive to dry and bond properly. Water pockets will be noticeable on every tinted window and shall slowly disappear naturally over the next few days. Be gentle: During the first week after installation, handle your windows with care. Avoid slamming doors or placing excessive pressure on the tinted windows, as it may cause damage. Avoid cleaning immediately: Wait at least one week before cleaning the tinted windows. This gives the tint time to settle and ensures that the cleaning process won't affect the adhesive. Use a gentle cleaning solution: When it's time to clean your tinted windows, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for automotive windows. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners as they can damage the tint. Soft materials only: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a microfiber towel to clean the tinted surface. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials that could scratch the tint. Avoid sharp objects: Be mindful of objects with sharp edges near your windows. Avoid using sharp tools or objects that could scratch or puncture the tinted film. (EXAMPLE... SEAT BELT BUCKLES) Keep away from adhesive materials: Avoid using any adhesive stickers, decals, or tape on the tinted windows. These materials can damage the tint and are challenging to remove without causing harm. Any specific questions never hesitate to reach out!

Paint Protection Film AftercareGive it time to settle: Allow the paint protection film to cure and bond properly by avoiding washing or disturbing it for the first 5 days after installation. This helps ensure its effectiveness and longevity. Gentle cleaning: When it's time to clean your vehicle, use a gentle cleaning solution specifically designed for paint protection film or automotive surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough materials that can scratch or damage the film. Soft materials only: Use a soft microfiber cloth or sponge to clean the paint protection film. Avoid using brushes, abrasive pads, or towels with a rough texture that could potentially harm the film. Regular washing: Wash your vehicle regularly to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants that can accumulate on the film's surface. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance and protective qualities. Avoid high-pressure washes: When using automated car washes or pressure washers, ensure that they are specifically designed for use on vehicles with paint protection film. Avoid using high-pressure settings or getting too close to the film, as it may cause the film to lift or peel. Mindful drying: After washing, use a clean microfiber cloth or a soft rubber squeegee to gently dry the paint protection film. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials that could scratch the film's surface. Waxing and polishing: Paint protection film generally does not require additional waxing or polishing. However, if you choose to apply wax or polish to the rest of the vehicle, avoid getting these products on the film itself, as it may affect its appearance or adhesion. Avoid petroleum-based products: Refrain from using any petroleum-based cleaners, solvents, or products on the paint protection film. These substances can potentially cause damage or discoloration. Be cautious with chemicals: If your vehicle comes into contact with any chemicals or substances such as gasoline, oil, or harsh solvents, rinse the affected area with water as soon as possible. Promptly removing such substances helps minimize the risk of damage to the film. Regular inspections: Periodically inspect the paint protection film for any signs of damage, peeling, or lifting. If you notice any issues, consult a professional installer or specialist to assess the condition and recommend appropriate action. Remember, these guidelines provide general recommendations for paint protection film aftercare. If you received specific instructions from the film installer or manufacturer, always follow their guidelines as they may have variations based on the specific product used.

What is a Half Glass or Full Glass?When deciding between half glass and full glass window tint for the rear window of a Tesla Model 3, it's essential to consider the purpose and impact of each option. Half glass window tint refers to tinting only the lower portion of the rear window, while leaving the upper section untinted. This allows for a more cost-effective installation. On the other hand, full glass window tint covers the entire rear window, providing enhanced privacy by blocking more light and heat from entering the cabin. However, it may slightly reduce the clarity of the view through the upper portion. The choice between half glass and full glass window tint for the Tesla Model 3 rear window depends on personal preferences regarding visibility and privacy.
