Before the replacement process can begin, the old tint must be carefully removed from the windows. Professional technicians employ various techniques to efficiently and safely remove the existing tint. This often involves using a specialized solution to soften the adhesive, followed by gentle scraping to peel off the old tint. It is crucial to exercise caution during this step to prevent damage to the glass or defrosting lines. At Jet Black Tint and Glass, this step is always free of charge — let’s find those original windows!

Professional installation is key to achieving a smooth and long-lasting window tint replacement. Thorough cleaning of the glass surfaces is essential to ensure proper adhesion of the new tint. Technicians skillfully cut the tint film to the exact dimensions of the window, then carefully apply it using a combination of heat, pressure, and a specialized adhesive. This results in a clean, bubble-free, and seamless tinted appearance. At Jet Black Tint and Glass, our team uses CAD cutters to get the film to the exact dimensions of your glass, leaving a clean, polished look free of bubbles and gaps.
Maintaining your new window tint is critical to prolonging its lifespan and preserving its appearance. After installation, it is best to allow the tint to cure for the product’s specified period before cleaning the windows or rolling them down. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that could damage the tint film. Instead, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent to gently clean the tinted surface.
Each jurisdiction may have specific regulations regarding window tint darkness, reflectivity, and positioning. Familiarize yourself with the local laws to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary fines or penalties. Jet Black Tint and Glass tinting service is knowledgeable and experienced in adhering to these regulations, helping you select a tint that complies with local laws while meeting your desired aesthetic and functional goals.
