You've invested in high-quality window tint from Prestige Protection, located right here in Arundel, QLD. Now, you want to ensure it stays looking pristine for years to come. Proper maintenance is key to maximising the lifespan and performance of your window tint. Let's dive into some essential tips to keep your tint looking as good as the day it was installed.

The Importance of Proper Maintenance:

Like any investment, your window tint requires care to maintain its optimal condition. Proper maintenance not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle but also ensures that your tint continues to provide the intended benefits, such as UV protection and heat rejection.

1. Wait Before Rolling Down Your Windows:

   • After your tint is installed, it's crucial to allow the adhesive to fully cure. We recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours before rolling down your windows. This ensures a strong bond between the tint and the glass.

2. Gentle Cleaning is Key:

   • Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth and a mild, ammonia-free window cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the tint film.

   • Never use paper towels or other abrasive materials, as they can scratch the tint.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

   • Steer clear of cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals. These substances can degrade the tint film and cause discoloration or peeling.

   • Simple soapy water is often the best cleaning solution.

4. Be Careful with Seatbelts and Jewelry:

   • When cleaning the interior of your car, be mindful of seatbelt buckles, jewelry, or any other sharp objects that could potentially scratch the tint film.

5. Regular Inspections:

   • Periodically inspect your window tint for any signs of damage, such as bubbling, peeling, or discoloration. Early detection can prevent further deterioration.

6. Avoid High-Pressure Washing:

   • While car washes are fine, avoid high pressure water being sprayed directly at the edges of the tint. This can cause the edges to lift over time.

7. Sun Exposure Considerations:

   • While quality tint blocks UV rays, excessive and constant direct sunlight can, over very long periods of time, still degrade any film. Parking in shaded areas when possible can help extend the life of your tint.
