Avoid harsh chemicals or ammonia-based cleaners, as these can damage the tint film. Instead, use a mild soap and water mixture or a cleaner specifically designed for tinted surfaces.
2. Clean with Soft Materials:
Use a soft microfiber cloth or sponge to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive materials like rough sponges or brushes that could scratch the film.
3. Wash Regularly:
Clean the tinted lights regularly to prevent dirt, grime, and road debris from building up. This helps maintain clarity and prevents long-term staining.
4. Avoid High-Pressure Washers:
Be cautious when using pressure washers. High-pressure water can lift the edges of the tint film or cause bubbling. If using one, maintain a safe distance from the lights.
5. Dry with Care:
After washing, gently pat dry the lights with a microfiber towel. Avoid rubbing harshly, as it may cause scratches or peel off the edges of the tint.
6. Park in the Shade:
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the tint film to fade or peel over time. Parking your vehicle in shaded areas or using a car cover can reduce UV exposure.
7. Inspect for Damage:
Periodically check the tint film for any signs of peeling, bubbling, or scratches. Early detection allows for quick fixes before the damage worsens.
8. Avoid Scraping Snow or Ice:
In cold weather, avoid using hard objects like ice scrapers on the tinted lights. Instead, use a de-icer spray or soft cloth to remove ice buildup.
9. Reapply Heat if Necessary:
If you notice any edges lifting or small bubbles, gently use a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the film and press it back into place with a soft cloth.
10. Wax Carefully:
When waxing your vehicle, avoid applying wax directly to the tinted lights, as it can cloud or discolor the tint film. Instead, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any wax that may get on the surface.
