How To Guide

If you find yourself debating on whether you should install your own window tint or get a professional to do it this guide can teach you how to install your windows tint easily. The tools you will need are a cutting knife, soap, a squeegee, some glass cleaner, and paper towels or a rag. The following instructions will help you apply window tint yourself.

First start off by cleaning the glass with the glass cleaner to make sure that the window tint will stick to the window better. Make sure that you get the window thoroughly cleaned. Apply the soapy solution to the window and put a piece of window tint larger than your window onto the window. Proceed to use the squeegee to remove any air bubbles from between the window tint and the window. After you remove all of the air bubbles, use the cutting knife to cut around the edges of the window tint to remove the excess tint from the window.

Now let’s say that you want to remove the window tint from your windows. You might want to remove the tint because it’s hard for you to see at night while driving or it’s against the law in your state. Whatever the case is, you can follow one of these 3 simple methods. The first method is steaming the window tint to make it hot enough to pull off. This works by melting the “glue” that is holding the tint on the window.

Another method is to cut the tint and remove then wash the glue that held it on bit-by-bit until it’s completely removed. The third and final method is to use ammonia and heat to remove the window tint. First spray down the window with ammonia, and place a garbage bag on the window. Smooth the garbage bag out on the window to trap the heat from the sun inside. Then remove the window tint using a knife or fingernail.

Applying and removing window tint may be harder than getting a professional to do it, but it saves you money and gives you satisfaction that you accomplished something you would normally pay someone else to do. It may be time consuming, but the rewards outweigh the disadvantages.
