Pennsylvania tint law 2026: For most passenger vehicles, all windows must let in more than 70% of light. SUVs and Vans have less strict regulations, with the permission of darker tints on rear windows.

On average it takes 1 to 4 hours depending on the cleanliness of the car and also the number of windows. If it's possible, we advise you to avoid leaving the vehicle with us. 

We would suggest warm water and two microfiber towels. One for cleaning, the other to dry — for a streak-free shine. You should not use window cleaners that contain ammonia, as they can alter the color of the window film. 

This is normal after film installation. Water activates the adhesive and helps position the film for installation. Some of that water remains between the glass and film even after removal. As a result of evaporation, you might see small bubbles or foggy patches. They should disappear on their own within a few days or up to two weeks in colder months. Do not poke or pop these bubbles. 

Window tint can be removed anytime, but it is a messy job. Professional detailers have the right tools and know-how, so it is best to reach out to them for help. Attempting it yourself could damage things like rear defrosters.

The impact on visibility at night depends on the film’s shade and quality. A dark tint, like 5% limo tint, will reduce visibility significantly. If this is an issue, opt for a lighter or medium shade.

Automotive window film is applied to the interior surface of the windows, ensuring it remains protected from external elements.

The tint that appears purple is either aged or of poor quality. The bubbles indicate a failure in the adhesive system, causing the tint to lift from the glass. The purple discoloration or fading is due to sun exposure on a film with a less durable dye over a period of time.

Window film is protected by a hard scratch-resistant coating designed to endure everyday use, including rolling windows up and down. However, being resistant does not imply “scratch-proof”. Even glass is susceptible to scratches, so caution is advisable when loading and unloading objects with sharp edges or when releasing seatbelts. These actions can cause small nicks that are not covered by warranty.

We use Rayno Window Films, which offer three levels of protection: S5, S7, and S9 full Ceramic. These films do not interfere with cell phones, radios, GPS, or other electronic devices in the car. The film is covered by a warranty against adhesion failure, peeling, bubbling, and blistering.

It is recommended that vehicle windows remain rolled up for at least 24-36 hours after window film installation, with a longer duration in colder weather. This allows the film to cure and adhere to the glass before the window is moved.

Window tint can result in a traffic citation if it does not comply with your state’s regulations. It is strongly recommended to tint your vehicle according to your state’s laws.
