Window Film Care Instructions

 

Installation Process:  

This is a film process, where a tinted film is cut to the exact shape of the window being treated, the window is cleaned on both sides and the film is applied to the inside surface. We do not remove any door panels.  Installation uses no chemicals and the solution we use is a mixture of water and baby shampoo. This process does not harm or damage the vehicle interior or window operation. The process and the film do not have any effect on rear window defroster function nor does the rear window defroster damage the film. On occasion some streaking results on door panels, this is a result of the water solution removing armor-all or similar interior care products. Simply re-applying the beautification solution at the next cleaning will clear that up.  Llumar prints temporary logos on the film for authenticity, we remove them with simple rubbing alcohol at the time of installation, if we overlook their removal or they are in a location we cannot access with the wet film, please remove them with a paper towel and a liberal amount of bathroom rubbing alcohol, if this is not available to you please stop back and we will remove them!

 

Drying time:  

Your new window film will take about 3 to 5 days to dry, sometimes longer depending on weather conditions (Llumar Recommends 30 Days drying time). Until this time your tinted windows may appear hazy or lumpy, and it may seem to have water bubbles. Do not roll your tinted windows down until dry (wait at least 48 hours).  Please allow the full 30 days before contacting us with bubble concerns.

 

Cleaning: 

 Cleaning can be done with a soft towel or squeegee. Never use ammonia-based products, vinegar or any abrasive materials or pads. Good cleaning solutions may include water, soap and water, or alcohol and water.

 

Black dotted edges:  

Most cars have a black ceramic 'frit' edge on the rear window. Sometimes this ceramic edge is straight and flat; sometimes it will have a dotted edge. These black ceramic dots are quite thick on most cars and prevent the window film from sticking to the area between the dots. This results in a whitish looking strip trimming the glass. Typically, this isn't very noticeable; however, some cars have a wide band of dots trimming the top of the rear window and more pronounced. Unfortunately, the effect is unavoidable.

 

Seat Belt Chips:  

Caution should be used when releasing seat belts. Small chips can be made in the window film due to the seat belt hitting the glass as it is released, THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

 

Imperfections:  

Though we strive for perfection in our installations, due to the nature of the product, some degree of dust contamination and or minor imperfections are present in every window film application, also pre-existing flaws, scratches and metal deposits on the glass are often much more noticeable after the windows are tinted.  The newer the vehicle the fewer the imperfections. In similar comparison, a very clean vehicle will have fewer imperfections than a dirty or poorly maintained vehicle.  When inspecting the final tinting application, IWFA guidelines suggest a distance of 3 - 4 feet or more in consideration of trapped dirt.  Some small imperfections are inherent in a film process.  This is the way we normally look through a window and this is the way you should observe your new window film…looking through it, not at it.  (IWFA is the International Window Film Association or www.iwfa.com)  Small silvery-looking spots or 'metal rubs' on some windows are usually found in station wagons or other utility vehicles and are caused by a metallic object (such as a baby stroller handle) rubbing against the inner surface of the glass during travel. This rubbing deposits metal onto the glass creating a silver or grey stain. Usually, these metal rubs aren't very noticeable and often aren't noticed until the windows become tinted.

 

Night Time Defogger Distortion

At night you may notice that the light from headlights will reflect off of the defogger lines. This is caused by the film having to bend slightly around the raised defogger line, it varies from car to car, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
