The Curing Process
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”. Depending on the film type and weather conditions, it may take up to 30 days for the film to be fully cured. The curing process is slow because the moisture between the film and glass must evaporate through the film after the installation is completed. Sputtered and heavy security films such as 8 mil or higher may take the longer to dry and may take even longer for any hazy appearance to disappear.
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. 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
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.

Metallic Window Film – Problem
Today’s cars come fully equipped with so many gadgets that it’s almost possible for them to drive themselves. Newer vehicles often feature complex electronics systems, such as satellite radio that provides customized entertainment and the latest traffic conditions, GPS navigation to get the driver where he wants to go when he’s lost, keyless entry systems provide safe entrance to the vehicle, remote start allows the driver to start their vehicle from a distance so by the time they get in their vehicles it may be cool or warm already, tire pressure sensors tell drivers when their tires get too low, and radar detectors designed to avoid speeding tickets.
To work properly, these devices rely on antennas that receive signals from things as far away as the heavens (satellites) or as closeby as the next parking space (a remote control for keyless entry). Sometimes those antennas are on the roof, but other times they’re in the rear window. And, that’s where the problem comes in for Metallic Window Films. When metallized films are installed over those antennas, they interfere with the signals. That means a driver may not be able to enjoy the high technological features of his vehicle.
Metal films provide exceptional heat rejection and are highly durable, but they cause interference with rear window electronic systems. Dyed films are non-conductive, but they don’t last as long and they don’t provide the best heat rejection. Ceramic films provide the best of both worlds. Ceramic films also offer better visibility by reducing the reflective qualities of metallized window film while increasing the visible light transmission. This gives you a lighter film with higher heat rejection. It is why Sun Shield Window Tint only uses ceramic window films, Omar Mayorga says ”Our customers are important and they always come first”. As a huge car enthusiastic Anthony Mayorga says, ” Here at Sun Shield Window Tint, We Always treat our customers car as our own”. Make Your appointment today and allow us to show you that our service is well-worth.

How to Pick a Window Tint Shade for your Vehicle
Choosing the right shade and window film for your car is important because automotive tinting can be expensive and not easily removed. Once it’s on your car, you’re stuck with the window tint until you pay for it to be remove, so be sure it’s the shade you want. Take your time and follow these steps when you pick a window tint shade.
Things to Consider
Choose a colored window tint if you want to go for the fancy look. Sun Shield Window Tint can customize your window tinting shade to match your car. Consider the color of your vehicle’s interior and exterior as those two items effect the appears the window tinting film. Dark interiors and exteriors will make the window tinting film appear darker than light interiors and exteriors.
Pick a dark window tinting shade to maximum privacy. Remember the darker the window tint the more light it blocks(not heat). Caution limo window tinting (05%) may obstruct your night vision.
Always select a car window tinting shade that is legal. Police don’t hesitate to give tickets for window tint that’s too dark. Tints, like limousine tint, in the front windows of your automotive . A Sun Shield Window Tint representative can tell you if the shade you want is legal in your area.
Get a strip on the top of your windshield that matches the tint on the rest of the car. This strip works like a sunshade to keep the sun out of your eyes while driving, and it also has a sporty look to it.
