Window tinting is one of the best upgrades you can make to your vehicle or home—but to keep it looking great and functioning properly, it requires the right care. After a professional tint installation, proper maintenance will help extend the life of the film, prevent scratches, and keep it clear and effective for years to come.

Here are our expert tips to care for your window tint in Colorado’s dry and sunny climate:

1. Let the Tint Dry Completely (Wait at Least 5–7 Days)

After installation, don’t roll down your windows or touch the film for about a week. This allows the adhesive to fully cure and prevents bubbles or peeling.

2. Clean with a Mild Soap and Water Solution

Mix warm water with a few drops of gentle soap (like baby shampoo). Avoid harsh or ammonia-based cleaners, which can damage the film and shorten its lifespan.

3. Use a Soft Cloth or Sponge

Gently wipe down the tinted windows using a soft microfiber towel or sponge. Avoid rough scrubbing or abrasive materials that could scratch the film.

4. Dry with a Microfiber Towel or Squeegee

After cleaning, use a soft rubber squeegee or microfiber cloth to remove excess water. This prevents streaks, spots, and moisture damage.

Avoid:

Ammonia-based products (like Windex)
Razor blades or abrasive pads
High-pressure washers on window edges

Why Proper Window Tint Maintenance Matters
