Why does film bubble?

A: Film bubbles because it is of poor quality and the result of a failure in the adhesive process.

        Once you have your list of tint shops you are considering, its time to interview each one.  Either call them on the phone or stop by without an appointment, see how they react to your  unexpected arrival. A reputable tint shop no matter how busy they are will make sure they spend some time with you and take pride in showing you vehicle’s they have tinted.          

 Ask them:

1)       How long have you been in business at this location?  Do you have other shops  in the area?

2)       What types of films do you carry? What warranty do you offer on your work? 

3)       Can I visit your tint shop? Can you show me samples of your work?

4)       Do you tint back windows in one piece of film with no seams, splices, darts,   relief line cuts? professional shop will tint in one piece.

5)         Does all the film on the side doors go to the top edge of the glass and also  go to the side edges of each piece of glass.

6)       Can they eliminate the ‘white area’ at the top of the dot matrix area of the back window, or after the film dries will the dot matrix look like the film has  not stuck properly to [this] area? Good shops know how to deal with this problem.

California laws allows for a 4″ Glarestrip to be installed on the top of the winshield only.  Many people tint the whole windshield with a  50% or lighter film because you can get the benefits of the film with very little tint look.

Why does car window film turn purple?

A: Inexpensive window film consists of polyester film dyed to achieve the desired color and darkness.

The purple appearance is caused when the ultraviolet rays from the sun break down the dyes in poor quality film.

Metalized film costs a little more but the metalized film process deposits aluminum, titanium

or other metals on the polyester to replace the dyes, created on extremely stable products. Realistically all dyed film will eventually fade, it is how long does the color remain stable is what the better dyes do better.
