It is possible to tear even the best window tinting material with a sharp or hard object hitting against the tint. Take care when loading and unloading objects with sharp or hard edges, boxes, sporting equipment, etc. A word of caution is to remember window tinting is installed on the inside of the glass and is usually coated with a high quality scratch resistant layer for protection.

Q: What causes window tinting to turn purple and bubble?Ī: UV rays from the sun that are responsible for damaging your car’s interior and excessive heat build-up are usually the cause of bubbles forming in the window tint.

This time frame can range from 2 days, up to 1 month. If it's cloudy and overcast outside, it will take longer, if it's hot and sunny, then the film dries very quickly. The amount of time before your new tint will be totally dry is determined by the amount of sunlight it gets. Window film is a porous material that allows water to evaporate, so these water pockets will simply evaporate and go away by themselves as the film fully bonds with the glass. As the film dries, the remaining water will form little pockets. When windows are tinted, the squeegee can only remove a certain amount of the water from between the film and the glass.
