Instructions on Tinting Car Windows
Car window tints keep away the heat that is caused by the sun. Even if your car is air-conditioned, if you don't have tints, it will still be hot inside because the sun's rays can pass through the window and accumulate inside. For short, your car will become an oven. There are auto detailing shops that offer tinting projects, but you can also do it yourself to save the service fee.

Clean your car windows both inside and outside by them with spraying soapy water. Use the razor blade to remove residues that are stuck on the window. You can also use the squeegee to remove dirt. Wipe it with the dry rag after cleaning. Make sure that the rag does not leave lint. Lint or dirt residues will be clearly seen when the tint is installed.

Spray the inner side of the window with soapy water, using the spray bottle. Spread the soapy water, using your hand so that it will spread.

Install the pre-cut window tint on the inner window that is wet with soapy water. Use the disposable hard card to make sure that the tint is inserted securely on the corners of the window.

Wipe the installed tint, using the squeegee to remove the excess water. Wipe it in an upward stroke, starting from the bottom of the window.. The squeegee also straightens the tint film if there are air bubbles trapped inside. Trapped air can easily be seen when it dries and it will also make the tint more vulnerable to tearing.

Dry the tinted window by keeping it open and exposing it to the sunlight or just letting it air-dry. You will know if it is dry if the tint becomes a hazy color.

6
Remove the clear plastic from the tint that was installed so that only the dark tint remains. To make sure that the tint is totally dry, do not lower your windows for three to five days.

Tips & Warnings
Measure the window first before cutting the tint. Even if you purchased a pre-cut window tint, measure it first before installing it so that it will fit perfectly.
Be careful while using the razor blade as handling it carelessly can cause accidental slashing and wounds.
