Front Window Tints...


Recommended Posts

I tinted out my past car...a 2002 Nissan SER Spec-V...and the tints looked great for about 3 years. After that they began to turn purple. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again. Is there a tint brand or type which is known to not fade or turn purple??? I know that the factory tints stay true...just want to make sure this happens to the front ones as well.

that purpling issue is typically due to low quality tint. Their are many good tints...

 

I have read a lot on this website recently- I have had ALL my cars tinted - and just had my chicks done with QDP as will mine be when I get it... just go with a reputable company that does it a lot car tinting - versus a DIY from pep boys or napa.

 

BTW, I tried to tint an Acura once on my own and it is (1) brizzzzzutal and (2) crappy tint from pep boys purpled over time. I have 7 year old Solar Guard on my VW and it looks awesome now as when new.

Hi all. :D I am sure that most of you already know this, but for those who don't: I have read many times that you need to be certain that the Glass Cleaner you are using on tinted window films is "Ammonia Free". Ammonia will turn many/most/all? tint films purple.

 

I need to add that I do not have tinted windows on any of my vehicles, so do not claim to be a tint expert. I just happen to read a lot, and have a good memory. :read:

 

Good luck all! :beerchug:
