Care & Cleaning

Drying Time

It will take about 3 to 5 days for your new window film to fully dry. During the summer the film can dry in a few hours, but in the colder winter months, the film could take up to a few weeks to fully dry. It is important to remember that during this time the window will appear cloudy and there may be some small water bubbles. Don't worry about these bubbles, they are just caused by excess moisture trapped between the glass and the film forming a kind of 'blister'. Under no circumstances should you squeegee, prod, or poke these water blisters, they will disappear once all the water has evaporated.

Please remember NOT to roll your tinted windows down until they are dry. If you do, the film won't may not cure properly to the window and could peel.

Example: This is a picture of HP Quantum film installed on an Infiniti G35. The photo was taken a few days after installation. Click to enlarge the photo (image is resizable, look closely for the bubbles) you'll notice numerous water bubbles in the tint. These are normal and will eventually evaporate. If you're installing Quantum in the winter, the bubbles may take several months to completely disappear.

Cleaning

The best way to clean your tinted windows is by using a soft cloth or regular paper towel (not the brown, scratchy stuff) and soapy water. Stay away from ammonia based products such as windex, unless they are specially designed for aftermarket tint. Over time, the ammonia could react to the chemicals used in the film and cause blotchiness - yes, we have actually seen this happen. Stick to soap and water!

You can also try a spray foam glass cleaner. We recommend "Bon-ami" to our customers, available at Canadian Tire and leading grocery or department stores.

Scratch Resistant Coating & Seat belt Chips

Although all of our films are manufactured with a "durable scratch-resistant" coating, this does not mean the film is scratch-proof. Its just paper. Be careful when loading sharp metal objects or boxes into your car, installing baby seats, while removing your seatbelt, with watches and jewelry and high heels, it is very easy to make small nicks in the tint.
