With the DIY (Do-it-yourself) types in mind

Step 1. Before DIY
Tinting a car is a bit of an art and takes many hours to master. Some cars are harder than others and some are very hard to install, all have their own quirks so We would recommend that You have your car installed by a professional.

There are some excellent sites offering advise on DIY Tinting and we would recommend You do some research if you want to DIY your tint.

Step 2. Apply the Film
Identify the piece of window film that matches the window, remember window film is installed on the inside of the window. Remove the clear backing on the film to expose the adhesive, be careful not to crease or damage the film.

Wet both the adhesive surface of the film as well as the inside surface of the window with the same soapy solution.

Move the film into position inside the window, being careful not to let the film get creased or doubled over onto itself. The film should adhere to the glass fairly well with the soapy solution. You may want to temporarily tape the corners for added holding while you apply the tint to the glass. Spray the film once again with soapy solution.

Step 3. Remove Excess Water
Use the squeegee to remove the soapy water and all bubbles from underneath the film while simultaneously smoothing the film onto the glass. Take your time and be careful and methodical for this step. Do not press so hard with your squeegee that you stretch the film. Remove bubbles by squeegee them gently to the edge and release them.

You are Finished!
Keep windows rolled up for at least three days to allow for full curing. The film may appear foggy, but this will clear up at the end of the curing process. Only use mild soap to clean window film, never use hard abrasives or chemicals.



Curved back window

Most back windows and some side windows require shrinking on the outside of the glass with a heat gun to fit the curve of the window before installing to the inside.

Please bear in mind each state has its own tint Laws and We can advise what the legal maximums are in your State.You break the law at your own risk. Bear this in mind when ordering your film.
