Aftermarket window film has many more solar benefits than factory window tint. Factory tint only rejects part of the UV rays, and only rejects a small amount of heat. Aftermarket window film rejects 99% of ultraviolet rays and between 35%-60% of heat, depending on the film level used. In addition to these benefits, darkening factory tinted glass will give you more privacy for storing your personal items in the back of the vehicle.

Yes. However, having this level of window film on front doors is not legal in Georgia.  Factory tinted glass is usually 15%-22% V.L.T.

The amount of time varies, depending on your type of vehicle. A complete car can take 2 to 4 hours. Full-sized trucks generally take between an hour and an hour and a half.

Yes, Window Film can be removed at any time after the installation. As a tint professional we know all the tips and tricks on proper tint removal. Please call us if you require a removal. It is a very tough and messy job, not recommended for beginners. Read more about the removal process.

We recommend using any glass cleaner that is ammonia-free and soft paper towels or a microfiber cloth.    Always clean your windows in the shades and use a dry cloth for final drying to prevent streaks.

We recommend that you leave your vehicle windows rolled up for at least 24-48 hours after window film has been installed. This allows the film to cure and adhere to the glass before the window is moved.

Unfortunately, there are companies out there that use low-quality products and are inexperienced in the proper installation of window films. All the window films we offer come with a full lifetime warranty for materials and labor from the manufacturer. We register this warranty for you so you will always be protected.  If a problem ever arises all you need to do is return for warranty service or call the 1-800 # on your warranty card.

This is very normal. Water is used to activate the adhesive and to allow us to move the film around and position it for a perfect installation. Although we squeegee out as much of the water as possible, some small amount remains between the glass and the film. As this water evaporates through the film you may see some little bubbles or foggy patches. These should go away within a few days or up to two weeks(during the colder months of the year.)   Never poke, prod, or pop these bubbles, they will go away on their own.

The lifespan of window tint varies depending on the quality of the film and how well it is maintained. The Tint Guy offers top-quality films that are designed to last longer than many alternative options. Our films can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more with proper care.
