I’ve just had my windows tinted, and I’m curious about the best practices for washing my car afterward. I’ve heard mixed opinions on when it’s safe to wash the car post-tinting. Here are some questions I have:
Timeframe
How long do I have to wait to wash my car after tinting?
Is it safe to wash it myself, or should I take it to a professional?
Cleaning Products
What kind of cleaning products should I avoid?
Are there specific techniques I should use to ensure I don’t damage the tint?
Maintenance Tips
How can I maintain the tint long-term?
Are there any special considerations for washing it in the future?
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!
Hey everyone! I’ve just had my windows tinted, and I was wondering how long I should wait before washing my car? Any tips on the best methods would be appreciated!
You should wait at least 48 hours before washing it! This gives the tint time to cure properly. Hand washing is definitely the best option, as automatic car washes can be too harsh.
I totally agree with ffisher! I used a gentle car soap and a microfiber cloth when I washed my car for the first time after tinting. It worked well and didn’t damage the film at all.
