Same here. Took delivery of a new car last night and they had tinted the windows that day. On way home on interstate I was having trouble seeing out rear window with headlights looking distorted, especially around the defroster wires. I texted salesman in a huff about how it needed to be redone, and he assured me it would go away in a couple weeks. Google search later and I'm here and feeling a little better.
I just picked up my car from tints last night (after waiting 5 hours POST appointment) and was super concerned maybe they rushed it, as I was seeing a million tiny tiny bubbles inside the tint. Really glad to know they’re probably just water bubbles. Also he told me I could roll down my windows next morning! Glad I watched this first
Same bro.since I tinted over tint it voids warrenty & noticed bubbles soon after. I was Extremely heated thi king they rushed it since they were closing soon.
@@theluxlyfe Most shops charge same for all %. However, some shops may have to order the film ahead of time if they dont regularlly carry it. Like the place I went to didnt carry 35% ceramic. So that had to be ordered, so I had to pay upfront.
Thank you for the explanation. I'm a perfectionist and just got mine tinted yesterday and went over it today in detail, then got worried until I watched this
I saw the water bubbles on my windows but was told to gibe it 3 - 5 days. Its the dust specks that had me wondering and in some windows you can see a white spots from the outside. I am not happy about this. but you say thats normal. I am now going to check every car i see and inspect it.
@@lamakina360 I’m waiting til next week then I’m going back. I look at cars everywhere and I don’t see those white bubbles and specks. It’s annoying. Dude said 3-4 hrs for the job and he had my car for 8 and I had to Uber all day. For that long it should’ve been perfect! 😠
I also waited for a while and then those white bubbles bother me, I did it 3 days ago I plan to wait 7 days to see if there are changes, how many days do you have with your Windows tint at this moment to know if you have had a change in the white bubbles
@@lamakina360 it’s been exactly 2 weeks today. It’s been raining a lot so I’m waiting for a clear day to clean them and really check. Those water bubbles went away . But those small clusters, and white spots from the outside didn’t and don’t look good. Looks like I did it lol. I’ll see what he says
@@Angelskris333 It's been raining here these days that's why I've been looking for a video to find information, but if from now until Monday I can still see the white bubbles, I'm going to go change it.
This was a great video. I have a car that cane with tint thats been there a decade it mustve been a hell of a job cause there was never any peeling or pin holes. So when i got my other car tinted i was worried since there were pin holes. I am going to get it checked in cause theres def more than 2% and there some bubbles that look like they got worse. For high end tint shops can they guarantee no pin holes?
Not sure what you're referring to as pin holes--not really a term I've heard used in tinting so I can't say. It's extremely challenging for any shop to guarantee < 2%
@EVSMotors my bad i misheard ya i was referring to the dust specs i thought you said pin hole but you said pin like dots. But i see maybe over time they go away but one of my cars doesnt have any but i was glad this video cleared up they arent harmful to the car if there is any
Can I ask a question? I had 25% ceramic installed 5 days ago. As time has passed small white bubble are appearing. Is it bad if they are white? They are probably a tad smaller than a golf ball dimple. There are a few on each window and quite a few on the back windshield, maybe 20 or so. Do you think these will go away over time or does the fact that they are white tell you it’s contamination? Appreciate this video and I can see others do too!! Thank you.
Just had my car tinted 4 days ago. I do have some of those golf ball dimples on my passenger window. How long should I wait to see if they go away before concating the shop? The weather has been sunny and nice.
About a month ago, I had my car done at XL headquarters here in Las Vegas now I noticed 3 spots in my window that has ripples one being right at eyesight in my face while I’m driving it is distracting the other problem that I believe I have is hard as I clean my window inside and outside. It looks like there is some microfiber residue that is stuck in between the glass and the tint is that normal? Oh pass for the ripples they told me it is from the glass itself and the tint just amplify the ripple.
I just picked up my truck from being tinted, I wanted the front to match the rear windows. What I got is WAY darker and bluish vs a brownish tint on the back windows, you don’t notice so much from outside but inside it almost looks like the rears are clear now. I went back to talk to the guy that did it but he said it will lighten when they dry. I’m really concerned that I’m being lied to … is this common?
I've never seen tint lighten up lol...assuming you're referring to your factory dark glass on your truck, there's no actual tint on those windows, so chances to match them are a lot harder (tinted windows vs dark factory glass).
hey I just got my windows tinted a few days ago. it looks like the air bubbles went away but I see what seems like pieces of tiny rectangles? im just worried it might be residue from the old tints that they took off, or if it will go away later
I have some dust specs on my front windshield that are decent sized. Not tiny like the one you showed in the video so it must be a larger piece of dust. There is a cluster of them all together in an area that’s roughly 1”x5”. Should I take this back or does this sound acceptable?
Very helpful video sir! I just got 20% ceramic done on my front windshield two weeks ago & i see double brake light reflections at night. Almost feels like I’m driving drunk. Is this normal or bad tint or install?
I recently had ceramic window tint installed on the windshield, exactly one week ago, but notice a water bubble. Is it normal, or should I bring it back to the shop? How long to cure, thanks!
Hi, question I had my windows tint and he didn't do such a good job and also I pointed out and asked about the color when the sun hits the tint when I open my door it looks kinda rainbow or kinda like an oil slick when you drop water on oil and it turns into pink purples colors. Well I asked if it was normal he said he couldn't see it but then he did and said no he would have to change the tint. So is that rainbow looking color normal? Or no? You can only see it through the inside when the sun reflects on the window not on the outside. Thanks!
What about haze? I can only see it when you look on the outside of the window? When I put my nail to it it goes down but then comes back up. Just got the tint fixed today after a bad install.
@@84848AR yea man if you just got the tint today or yesterday it’s normal, what I did was put a heated fan on the outside of my window until the haze went away just don’t put too much heat But if it’s been longer then 3 days you should get it checked ouy
I noticed some tiny bubbles that don’t look like dust specks… are those the bubbles you were talking about that evaporate after a few days, or should I take my car back in before it completely cures?
I'm not sure what you mean by that because blurriness can mean different things with tinting, especially without seeing it. Best to ask the shop who did it or if you don't trust them, maybe get another local shop's second opinion.
I got the same. Did yesterday. Guy told me its ok to have them after install. They will disappear within couple of days as because here in australia its winter.

Definitely answered my question about those golf ball bubbles thank you 🙏🏼
Just got ceramic tint job and looking for the drying time to fully cure. Glad it was your video that came up first! I have no worries…
Does it cost more to change the percentage of a tint say from 35% to 15%? Is it the lower number the higher the price?
@@theluxlyfe depends on tint places maybe, my local tint shop doesnt

Keep an eye on them and see if they go away after 1-2 weeks. They can be moisture that'll evaporate but hard to know without seeing

Normal
20 on the windshield!? Animal🫡😂
Did it go away? I have same after 4 weeks.
Just got mine tinted. When I looked out my window It was blurry.
I recently had ceramic window tint installed on the windshield, exactly one week ago, but notice a water bubble. Is it normal, or should I bring it back to the shop?
How long to cure, thanks!
When can you clean your windows after they get tinted with ceramic?
I'd wait a few days
Thank you. I was a little concerned with dimples , now I'm not ,gonna park it in the sun for a few days.
Like your videos quick question how about if the tint shows a lot of the glue around the edge is that fixable?
Thank you in advance
I've never seen that before. Probably not fixable
After your car is tinted. Do I park the car in the garage until it cures ? Or do I leave it out for sun to dry up the tint ?
Doesn't matter too much, it'll cure eventually
Just got my tint done rn, the back window has some big streaks across. Is that normal ?
doesn't sound like it
@@EVSMotors ok thanks man. Ima take it back
I have a question. I have an appointment to get my windshield tinted but it’s supposed to rain, will it be a problem?
no
@@EVSMotors thanks. Didn’t get to go to the appt but just got the windshield tinted a few days ago
So what's good when you actually park your car out in the sun it dries quicker or does that even matter I'm in Cali so right now sunny days
It helps but you don't really need to go out of your way to do it.
@@EVSMotors but 5 to be exact or 4

You can only see it through the inside when the sun reflects on the window not on the outside. Thanks!
i'm not sure. it sounds like it's a specific property of whatever tint he gave you
Do I have to wait for the bubbles to go away before i start rolling my windows?
Depends on what kind they are
I just got my tint installed and it was 5%, but it didn’t seem dark enough… Does it darken as it cures??
no
Can I send you a pic to tell me what this tint looks like to get a recommendation
What does it look like when they overheat the tint with the heat gun?
typically that just leads to melting
What about haze? I can only see it when you look on the outside of the window? When I put my nail to it it goes down but then comes back up. Just got the tint fixed today after a bad install.
I'm not sure what you're seeing exactly but if it got re-installed, give it time to see if it goes away.
Same here did that hazy look go away? Mine currently look like that and I don't like it.
@@84848AR yea man if you just got the tint today or yesterday it’s normal, what I did was put a heated fan on the outside of my window until the haze went away just don’t put too much heat

@@lalopalep thanks hopefully it goes away. It's certain times it looks hazy others clear. Not sure what's up
I noticed some tiny bubbles that don’t look like dust specks… are those the bubbles you were talking about that evaporate after a few days, or should I take my car back in before it completely cures?
give it some time
Normal for tint be blurry after?
I'm not sure what you mean by that because blurriness can mean different things with tinting, especially without seeing it. Best to ask the shop who did it or if you don't trust them, maybe get another local shop's second opinion.
Can I touch my window after it's tinted
Will it take longer for those bubbles to go away if I keep it in my garage ?
depends on temperature, 1-3 weeks maybe?
@@EVSMotors I can confirm about 10 days
1 dirt pin spec, fine, I see dozens?….I’m pissed
Got pulled over by a cop 2 hours after install. Forced to roll down window. Tint is now ruined. 🙄

Im just Biden my time
Can you carry your car to the car wash after being tinted? I’m seeing bubbles 🫧 on the windows from inside of my car
I got the same. Did yesterday. Guy told me its ok to have them after install. They will disappear within couple of days as because here in australia its winter.
Carry your car? That sounds heavy 😂
