1. Post-Installation Care for Window Tinting

  • Avoid Rolling Down Windows: Advise waiting at least 3-5 days before rolling down windows to allow the tint to cure properly.
  • Cleaning Tips: Use a soft microfiber cloth and ammonia-free cleaner to clean tinted windows without damaging the film.
  • Inspect for Bubbles: Explain that small bubbles may appear initially but should disappear as the tint cures. If they persist, contact the installer.

2. Post-Installation Care for Ceramic Coating

  • Avoid Washing Immediately: Recommend waiting 7-14 days before washing the car to let the coating fully cure.
  • Use pH-Neutral Car Shampoo: Emphasize the importance of using gentle, pH-neutral products to avoid stripping the coating.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Warn against using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the coating.

3. General Maintenance Tips

  • Regular Cleaning: Suggest washing the car every 2-3 weeks to prevent dirt buildup.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Recommend parking in shaded areas to reduce UV exposure and heat damage.

4. Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using abrasive sponges or towels.
  • Ignoring small scratches or chips in the tint or coating.
