After Your Window Film Is Installed
FILM DRY-OUT TIME
On completion of the installation process, a small amount of moisture will remain under the film. Trapped moisture can cause small water bubbles and/or a slightly cloudy look. This is normal and should be expected. DO NOT attempt to pierce bubbles during the dry-out period. Bubbles and any cloudyness will eventually dissipate. Attempting to pierce a bubble in an effort to drain moisture will damage your film. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
CLIMATE CONDITIONS & DRY-OUT TIME
Film type selection and climate conditions will determine the dry-out period you experience. While warm weather and direct sun light exposure will shorten the dry-out time, cooler climates, shaded areas, non-sunny weather conditions and thicker films can lengthen the drying. If slow drying occurs, do not become alarmed. The trapped moisture will dry-out completely. Dry out times can vary from a few days to as mush as 6 months.
CLEANING
Do not clean the film for 30 days after installation. This will help secure proper curing of the special mounting adhesive to the glass.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Most glass cleaners will work well, although a good cleaning solution for window film is 25ml of a mild detergent added to one litre of fresh water.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Always use fresh clean, soft materials to wash and dry your window surfaces. A clean soft cloth or synthetic sponge is recommended for washing the window film followed by another clean soft cloth or soft rubber squeegee for drying.
To avoid scratching the film, do not use bristle brushes, paper towels, abrasive scrubbing sponges, or any cleaning materials that may have been contamined with dirt particles, as is commonly the case when washing interior and exterior windows with the same cleaning supplies. Our films are not warranteed against unreasonable use of abrasives.
