Apply & install window tint film
- Consider distilled water: To avoid small white dots after drying, which can occur with lime-rich or overly detergent-mixed water, consider using distilled water and minimal solvent (about 1 drop per pint).
- Opt for Lukewarm Water: The temperature of the water used can impact the application process, especially in colder weather. Using lukewarm water helps prevent the window from being too cold when applying the film.
- Clean with Alcohol: Starting with a thoroughly clean window is paramount. Cleaning with alcohol and a soft sponge, followed by wiping with a lint-free cloth, like microfiber, ensures the window is free from particles before film application.
- Rinse the Film Thoroughly: Before application, immerse the film in mounting fluid to eliminate any particles. Applying the film with disposable gloves can prevent additional contamination.
- Frequent Spraying and Gentle Scraping: Always moisten the film with plenty of liquid before scraping. Use overlapping strokes without pressing too hard to avoid damaging the film.

2. Mix water with soap in a spray bottle.
3. Spray the window and film properly with the liquid.
4. Apply the film on the window and adjust it carefully.

Applying window tint film
Applying window tint film need not be so difficult. Here you will find our best tips and tricks to be successful in applying your window tint film.
Applying window tint film can be both simple and complicated. Adhesive-free precut window tint film does not require a lot of prior knowledge or any special tools to get a good result. If you are going to apply adhesive-mounted window tint film and have not done it before, you should get help from someone knowledgeable.
Problems with window tint film?
Almost all of the problems with window tint film, regardless of type, are due to a poor application. In the case of removable adhesive-free window tint film, the problem is very easy to solve. Remove the film and reapply after reading the assembly instructions carefully, at least twice. If you have applied adhesive-mounted window tint film and the film has dried, it is very difficult to correct any problems afterwards. You should then consult a professional or repeat the work.
The window tint film does not fit
If you ordered precut window tint film, it should of course fit the window of your car, but if you want to cut the film for some reason, then use a stainless-steel razor blade. If you are going to cut the window tint film against the glass, cut carefully so that the blade does not scratch the glass.
The window tint film comes off
Window tint film can come off if you have not succeeded in squeezing away all the water between the window tint film and the window. Then the window tint film cannot attach properly. Alternatively, it didn't get to dry properly before rolling down the windows. Whatever the cause, the problem is easy to solve if you have used removable window tint film. Remove the entire window tint film, clean the window and film, and reapply it correctly. Be sure to mount the window tint film 0.08 inches/2-3 mm below the edge of the window that will be rolled down, so that it does not protrude and drag against the edge when you roll up the window.
Small white dots appear on the window tint film
If you see small white dots on the window from outside the car when the window tint film has dried in, it is because of dust grains sticking to the film, the hardness of the water, or too much detergent in the water. Whatever the cause, the problem is easy to solve if you have used removable window tint film. Remove the entire film, clean the window and the film, and reattach it correctly. Use 3 drops of detergent/pint distilled water.
Air bubbles in the window tint film
Some smaller bubbles may disappear by themselves when the window tint film has dried in, but it is important that you carefully remove all air bubbles when applying the film. Don't forget to check out the film from the outside of the window. If a bubble develops in the window tint film within 24 hours, try spraying the film and dragging/pressing/working the bubble out towards the edge of the film. If the film has dried in, do not puncture the bubble or try to cut it with a razor blade, but just remove the entire film (if you have used removable window tint film), clean the window and film, and reapply it.
