The subject matter included in a window tint training program consists of defining the appropriate mounting solutions used in the trade, preparation techniques, removing air from underneath window film with a squeegee and film-shrinking methods. Other topics include areas specific to the automotive industry, such as door panel removal, state laws regarding automotive tinting, how to install a single-piece of film over a back window and how to work around window defrosters embedded in automotive glass.
