Many car owners choose to tint their window whether it is for the privacy aspect of it or just for the aesthetic appeal. Tinting your windows also provides some layer of protection to your car windows when it comes to sun damage and warm climates as well as providing you and your passengers with some degree of shade. Cleaning tinted car windows is a very easy task to complete according to many Scarborough auto glass experts. It doesn’t require any special products or any special skills on your part. On top of that, it can be done in less than five minutes with a little bit of practice and precision. You want to be very careful when completing this process because minor things can damage the tint on your windows thus destroying the look of your car such as not using the right cleaners or not cleaning quickly and efficiently.

The first thing you’ll want to do is wash the exterior, or outside, of your car. You want to use a glass cleaner on the outside portion of your car windows. Then, you want to wipe off any of the excess product right away to prevent and streaking or water marks. Once you do this, on the inside of the car windows, you’ll want to use a paper towel and some water to remove any fingerprints and other kinds of residue and marls on the window. Using a glass cleaner on the insides could damage the tint on you window and make it separate and deform. You also do not want to use a window cleaner that has ammonia in it, such as the standard Windex. As many Scarborough auto glass have proved, the ammonia in the window cleaner would cause the tint to turn a purple color. You want to choose a streak-free window cleaner that has been marked as “ammonia free.” You can buy window cleaners like Vinegar Windex, the green one, or any of the citrus Windex cleaners. There are also specific cleaners made for tinted windows such as Eagle One’s 20/20 which is recommended by many. You can also go very simple and use just soap and water or vinegar and water to clean the tinted windows of your car. However, be aware that the vinegar will leave a bit of an odor on your car that can be taken away by a mild soap and water solution.

When cleaner the window, you want to avoid putting any kind of product on the edge of the tint. Any kind of water, water-soap solution or glass cleaner on the edges of the tint could cause peeling or deformation. However, if the tint on your windows begins to peel or bubble up, you’ll want to use a credit card wrapped in a piece of paper towel and use it to smooth out any of the imperfections that have been created. It is important to note that you always want to push the bubbles, or any other imperfections that could be fixed, to the edge of the tint or pop the bubble with a needle if absolutely necessary. However, be careful not to stretch or tear the tint.

Once you do all of this, you are done. It is recommended by Scarborough auto glass professionals that you make sure you have let everything dry properly and watch to make sure nothing happens to your tint after you have finished cleaning it.
