Aftercare & Warranty Guide

Window Tint
Care Instructions

To ensure the best performance and longevity of your window tint, proper aftercare is essential:

  • Do not roll down windows for 3–5 days after installation. This allows the film to properly adhere to the glass. Rolling them down too soon can cause shifting or edge lifting.
  • During the curing process, you may notice haziness, streaks, or small water pockets—this is completely normal and will dissipate within the first 3–7 days depending on weather conditions.
  • Avoid touching or pressing on the inside of the glass during this period.
  • When cleaning, only use ammonia-free glass cleaners, as ammonia can break down the film over time and cause discoloration.
  • For best results, use a soft microfiber towel and a tint-safe cleaner (we recommend our in-house glass cleaner).
  • Avoid abrasive pads, paper towels, or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the film.
Warranty Coverage

Your tint is backed by a lifetime warranty, giving you long-term confidence in your investment.

Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Care Instructions

PPF is designed to protect your vehicle, but proper care ensures it performs at its highest level:

  • Do not wash your vehicle for 5–7 days after installation. This allows the film to fully cure and bond to the paint.
  • Because PPF is wet-applied, you may notice minor bubbles, moisture pockets, or slight distortions initially—these will settle as the film cures.
  • After curing, you may wash the vehicle as normal using pH-neutral, automotive-safe soaps.
  • Avoid high-pressure water directly on edges or seams, especially within the first couple of weeks.
  • While PPF is highly durable, we recommend avoiding unnecessary contact with sharp objects or aggressive friction.
  • For enhanced longevity and easier maintenance, ask us about adding a ceramic coating on top of your PPF.
Warranty Coverage

Your PPF includes a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.

✓ Covered
  • Peeling or lifting
  • Adhesive failure
  • Yellowing (depending on film manufacturer)
  • Manufacturer defects
✕ Not Covered
  • Rock chips from driving (film is sacrificial but not indestructible)
  • Physical damage or abuse
  • Accidents or environmental damage beyond normal use

Vinyl Wrap
Care Instructions

Vinyl wraps require a bit more attention to maintain their appearance and lifespan:

  • Hand wash only—automatic car washes can damage the vinyl due to stiff brushes and high-pressure water.
  • Use a pH-balanced automotive soap and a soft microfiber mitt or cloth.
  • Dry with a clean microfiber towel to prevent water spotting.
  • Whenever possible, park in shaded or covered areas to reduce prolonged UV exposure.
  • For maximum longevity and color retention, consider a ceramic coating specifically designed for vinyl wraps.
  • During winter months, regularly clean off magnesium chloride, road salt, and debris, as these can degrade the film over time.
  • Remove contaminants immediately such as bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap—these can stain or etch the vinyl if left untreated.
  • Avoid fuel spills on wrapped surfaces—if contact occurs, clean immediately.
Warranty Coverage

Your vinyl wrap is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty.

✓ Covered
  • Peeling
  • Bubbling
  • Lifting due to installation defects
✕ Not Covered
  • Rock chips or road debris damage
  • Fading due to UV exposure over time
  • Improper care or maintenance
  • Damage caused by automatic car washes or external impact
