Automotive
Lifetime warranty
Vehicle window film installs are backed with long-term support against adhesive failure, cracking, peeling, delamination, and unusual colour change caused by a film or manufacturer defect.
Aftercare And Warranty
The Tints2go Warranty
Professional window film should come with clear expectations after it is fitted. This page explains the Tints2go warranty route, how to care for fresh film, and what is normal while the tint dries and settles.
Warranty Cover
Support That Stays Clear After The Install
Tints2go supports professional installs across automotive, residential, and commercial work. Warranty support is there for genuine film or manufacturer defects, while aftercare keeps the finished result protected from avoidable damage.
Warranty terms
If window film develops an adhesive failure such as cracking, glazing, delamination, peeling, excessive colour change, or another failure caused by a manufacturer defect, Tints2go will review the install and arrange the right replacement route where the warranty applies.
Tints2go is not liable for loss, damage, expense, or cost caused in whole or in part by improper film care, cleaning, abuse, impact, or glass breakage.
Residential
10 year warranty
Residential window film is supported for the expected service life of the product, with coverage focused on film performance and installation integrity when aftercare guidance has been followed.
Commercial
10 year warranty
Commercial glazing installs receive the same practical support route for film defects, appearance concerns, and post-installation checks across office, retail, and wider business glass.
Window Film Care
Clean Film Gently And Let It Settle
Good aftercare protects the finish. The most important points are simple: clean gently, use the right cloth, and give newly installed film time to cure before heavy use.
Keep Windows Up For 7 Days
Use microfibre
Use a clean, high-quality microfibre cloth for routine cleaning. It lifts dust and dirt from the film surface without dragging abrasive particles across the finish.
Keep it gentle
Clean with mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based products, abrasive pads, blades, scrapers, and anything that can attack the film or adhesive.
Windows up for 7 days
For freshly tinted vehicle windows, keep the windows up for at least 7 days. The film is still curing underneath, and early movement can lift edges before the adhesive has bonded.
Tinting Aftercare
The Drying Out Process
Fresh film can show bubbles, haze, dot-matrix variation, or small imperfections during the drying process. Colder or wetter weather can extend drying times, so patience protects the finished result.
Water bubbles
Window film is installed with a water-based slip solution so it can be positioned cleanly. Small water pockets or a hazy look can appear while that moisture evaporates.
Result
Water bubbles normally dry out over several weeks.
Minor imperfections
A window tint is fitted to existing glass in a real-world environment. Small dust specs or marks may be visible up close, while the finished result should read cleanly from normal viewing distance.
Result
Tiny specs can be expected in aftermarket film installs.
Dot-matrix
Some vehicle glass has a raised ceramic dot pattern around the edge. Film cannot always sit perfectly between each raised dot at first, so these areas may look lighter or uneven while curing.
Result
Dot-matrix areas usually settle more evenly as they dry.
Scratches
Most vehicles pick up light glass marks from seals, dirt, weather, or previous cleaning. Tint can reduce light transmission and make marks already in the glass easier to spot.
Result
Existing glass scratches may become more noticeable after tinting.
Tinting Expectations
Know What You Are Looking At
New tint naturally makes people inspect every inch of the glass. Some marks may be on the outside, some may already be in the glass, and some curing effects simply need time to settle.
Tints2go window film is fitted to the inside face of the glass, so marks, chips, or scratches on the outside of the glass are separate from the film surface. If something does not look right after the film has had time to cure, contact Tints2go with the details below so the team can review the job properly.
Inside Install
Window film is installed on the inside of the glass, so existing outside marks can sometimes be noticed for the first time after tinting.
