Tint is the process of bonding tinting film to a piece of window glass. Tinting film is usually made out of clear polyester film with a very thin and even layer of tinting agents such as ceramic, dyes and/or metals deposited onto the film.
A common misconception is that window tint is dark, and night-time driving is impossible when a car is tinted. The truth is that there are many films of any darkness available to suit your preferences. Another misconception is that the darker the tint the more heat it blocks. Thanks to new technology such as nano-ceramic, films don’t have to be dark to block a huge amount of heat. The darker the film the more light it will block. Also, unlike sunglasses that do impair your ability to drive at night, tinting film is designed to reduce glare and not impede night-time driving. State window tint laws also protect consumers against illegal tint that may put them in harm’s way during night-time driving.
Another misconception is that window tint is bonded onto the outer surface of auto glass. Window tint is applied on the inner surface which also protects the film itself from flying debris outside the car.
Once tinting film is applied to a window, the characteristics of how visible light comes into the car changes. Normal auto glass without tint reflects around 5% of visible light (known as VLR%), absorbs another 5% (known as VLA%), and transmits 90% of visible light (known as VLT%) into the car.
Depending on the type and quality of tinting film applied to a window, these percentages change dramatically. Some tint are more reflective, and others absorb more light. The number you will most commonly see is the VLT% (Visible Light Transmittance). VLT% tells you how much visible light is allowed to shine into the car, and also indirectly how dark the tint looks. There are also other factors that determine how dark the film will look, such as the color of the interior and exterior.
Tinting film doesn’t just block visible light. It also blocks harmful cancer-causing ultra-violet (UV-A and UV-B) rays as well as infra-red (IR) rays that cause heat to build up in your car; however, how effective a film is in blocking these rays depends on the type of film, the manufacturer, and the quality of installation.

The Curing Process
Car window tint in the greater Houston Area
Once the window film has been installed, it’s very common to see a slight haziness and/or small water ripples/pockets. This is a normal part of the adhesive bonding process called “curing”. You shouldn’t roll your windows down for at least 48 hrs depending on the weather conditions. Although the weather is a factor in the curing process it doesn’t impact the installation process nor does it interefere with it. The curing process is slow because the moisture between the film and glass must evaporate through the film after the installation is completed.
Care and Maintenance
The window film should not be clean or touch during the “curing” progress, once the film is dry and cured, it’s then safe for the film to be cleaned and the windows can be safely rolled down. The best cleaner is a damp towel and a dry towel. You may also clean the film surface with any normal strength glass cleaner. Products with amonia will not damage the film however caution should be used, if used in an unreasonable quantity or if the film is left to soak in it the amonia will cause the life expectancy of the film to decrease.
- Don’t Roll your windows down for the next 48 hours
- Don’t use any abrasive cleaners, industrial strength glass cleaners and/or any other window cleaning tools that may scratch the window film. Remember the surface of the film is coated with a scratch resistant it’s not scratch proof coating.

What is causing my window tint to streak and scratch?
All car doors have a weather strip seals on either side of the window glass. These weather-strips touch the window creating a seal to help keep dirt, water and noise from entering your door panel and vehicle. After taking a close look, you should notice the inside seal has a fuzzy layer of felt applied to it.
This is true for most vehicles, however certain makes and models don’t have a felt layer on the window canal of the door. Their manufacturers neglected to put this felt on the inside seal of the window. This inside window seal is made of hard plastic. With no felt applied to it, this hard weather strip will start to collect dirt and dust which in turn rubs against your vertical lines and scratches.
Streaks & Scratches
This looks cosmetically bad and it destroys the window film causing you to have to return to the tint shop and re-tint the car all over again. Fortunately there is a solution to this problem, simply install the felt layer on your window canal, Call us today (281) 748 – 5660 and we can order a strip of felt specifically for your vehicle or order here.
Before you get your auto tinted, find out if your vehicle is one of those whose manufacturer neglected to put this felt on the inside seal of the window. You can contact Sun Shield Window Tint and one of our representative can help you answer this question and others you may have. Also remember you can virtually tint your vehicle here
