When Removing The Film Does The Adhesive Stay On Glass Or On Film?

What Are The Benefits Of Window Film?
The many benefits of window film include heat reduction, eye comfort, UV protection, aesthetics, and increased safety, privacy, and energy savings.
What Do The Different Shades Of Film Mean?
Film percentages stand for visual light transmission (VLT), or the amount of light that is allowed through the film. The lower the percentage, the darker the film. With modern advances in window film, you can have great heat rejection with lighter films, no need to have dark window tint to receive the heat rejection benefits.
I Just Had My Windows Tinted, Why Do They Look Hazy?
The moisture that remains between the film and the glass after installation can cause a hazy, streaky, blotchy appearance. It takes several days for the film to completely cure. The remaining moisture will evaporate through the film; depending on the type of film, this process may take a couple of days, or even a couple of months (depending on your climate). When the water evaporates completely, your windows should have excellent clarity.
Is The Tint Applied To The Outside Of The Window?
No. Window film is installed on the inside of the glass. This allows for maximum durability.
What Should I Use To Clean My Windows After I Have Had Them Tinted?
After window film installation, wait a week before cleaning the inside of the window where the film was installed. After a week, use XPEL Anti-Static Window Film Cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth. Never scrape the film with any type of blade or clean your tinted windows with anything abrasive, as it will scratch the film.
Do I Need To Wait To Roll My Windows Down?
No. Window film is installed on the inside of the glass. This allows for maximum durability
Does Blocking UV Rays Help Prevent Fading And Deterioration?
Yes. The same sun that brightens your car’s interior can be detrimental to fabrics, leather, dashboard, and other interior surfaces. Ultraviolet rays are the main cause of both fade and deterioration. XPEL window films can screen up to 99% of the damaging UV rays that can fade surfaces.
