Signs of a Bad Tint Job

A window tint can be a fantastic addition to your car, offering many benefits. It preserves the interior and blocks harmful UV rays. It also enhances privacy and security, giving you peace of mind. 


However, if the tint job is not done well, it can cause a lot of problems. Here’s how to spot a poor tint job and ensure you get the best results:


Uneven lines and gaps

When you get your car windows tinted, the finished product should look perfect. Examine your windows closely. 


If you notice any uneven lines or gaps around the edges, it’s a sign that the tint was either cut improperly or installed too quickly. These imperfections can make your car look unattractive and unprofessional.


Bumpy edges

The tint film should adhere smoothly to the entire surface of the window. If you see peeling, bubbling, or ridges around the edges, it indicates a poor installation technique or the use of low-quality film. 


These issues can not only look bad but can also worsen over time, leading to the tint peeling off prematurely.


Purplish tint

High-quality window tint should not change the colors you see through your window. If you notice a purple hue, it's a clear sign that the film used is not of good quality. 


A good tint should be clear and maintain the true colors, ensuring your car looks good, and the tint works well for a long time. If you notice this after a car paint job, it’s a sign to opt for a professional.


Peels

Peels? This is the worst! A well-done tint job should stay in place for many years. A bad tint job may be caused by low-quality adhesive or by the window not being cleaned adequately before the tint was applied. 


That’s why you need to get your tint done by a professional who uses suitable materials and prepares the surface correctly. 


Heated cabin

Window tint should help keep your car cooler by blocking out heat. But if the tint is not installed correctly, it can trap heat between the film and the window, making your car feel hotter instead of cooler. 

This can make driving uncomfortable and defeats the purpose of having window tint in the first place. 


No warranty

A good window tinting company will give you a solid warranty to show they believe in their work. If the shop you're looking at only offers a short warranty or none at all, it might mean their service isn't very good. 



Avoid tinting quacks and opt for quality for your ride!

Always choose a shop that provides a solid warranty so you know they will fix any problems that come up. This way, you can feel confident that you're getting quality service and that your tint will last a long time.
