How Can You Extend the Life of Your Tint?

Several factors play into the life of your window tint, including quality and maintenance. If a tinting film uses dye by itself, it will fade from the sun after a few months. If tint uses metal deposits and dye, it could last for about five years. If you want your window tint to last, choose a film that uses ceramic or carbon tinting. They last about ten years. Also, having the tint professionally installed can extend its life. Choosing professional installers and the right tint are just the beginning of extending the life of your window tint. Here’s what you should know.

Window Tint Maintenance

Window tint is used to protect passengers and the interior of the vehicle from UV rays. Some people also get tinted windows for security and privacy. Window tint doesn’t last forever, but you can extend the life of the tint by taking care of it with proper maintenance.

Clean the tint regularly. Do not use abrasive cleaners on it. If you are unsure of what to use, ask your installer what they recommend — preferably an ammonia-free cleaner.
After your tint is installed, wait a few days before you roll the windows down.
You’ll also want to wait for a few days before you clean the tint to give the glue time to set.

Type of Window Tint

The type of window tint is also important. If you choose a cheaply made tint, it is not going to last very long. Tints with ceramic or carbon coating last much longer than less expensive tints, and they won’t fade or scratch as easily.
