Identifying A Bad Tint: Differences Between A Good Tint And A Bad Tint

Let’s be real, window tints can be expensive. They’re capable of pulling quite a hefty amount out of your budget. Even though you might be tempted to invest your money in a cheaper tint, it’s highly probable that the tint you choose to invest in is bad. While choosing to go for services of auto tinting in Woodbridge, it’s best to go for a professional service rather than a cheap job that you might regret later.

However, if you’ve already made this mistake, here’s how you can distinguish between a good tint and a bad tint: 

➢      Bubbles: The easiest way to distinguish between a good tint job and a bad tint job is by the amount of bubbles that have formed over the glass of the window. While huge bubbles are a more distinctive sign of a bad tint job, it gets worse if there are tiny bubbles all over the window. Not only is it capable of obstructing your view, but it can also get quite distasteful to look at. A good tint will give you a clear finishing, leaving absolutely no room for second thoughts on it being a good tint.

➢      The color purple: During the process of placement of your window tint, let it be known that the color purple is possibly your biggest enemy (unless you choose this color yourself, of course). A bad tint will almost always turn purple. This is because a low-grade tint film material will react badly to the UV rays of the sun, inevitably leading to discoloration. It’s quite rare but the color can also fade to be a lighter black, the usual change is purple. A good tint will always continue to be an opaque version of the color black.

➢      Mismatched, widely spread edges: A good tint is always placed close to the actual edges of the glass of the window. It’s placed in a way that leaves the placement almost unnoticeable to an eye that doesn’t know it’s there. However, a bad tint job is the opposite. Even if the edges were matched up upon the original placement, it’s highly likely that the tint film will displace over time. This is because of the use of cheap glue and the basic tint film (vinyl) which does not hold a high level of adhesiveness as a good tint film. This will leave it to slide down the window eventually, making its placement highly visible (even from a distance!).

➢      Fibers and debris: A bad tint film will almost always have dust stuck in the middle of the glass and the tint, leaving you with a relatively distorted vision. The presence of dust and fibers amid a tint film and a glass simply shows that the glass wasn’t cleaned properly before the tint was placed, causing it to leave a relatively dirty surface on the tint film. A good tint job will be sparkling clear, with no room for dust or debris between the surface of the glass and the tint. 

If you have been the victim of a bad tint job or simply don’t want to reach such a situation of dismay ever in your life, you can reach out to Tint Shoppe for their services. Whether it be window tinting for carsor the installation of car accessories, they can help you get the ‘good’ part of the results rather than the ‘bad’.

Once you’ve identified a bad tint job, you can choose to reach out to the dealership you originally got the tint job done from and ask for a complete refund. After that, you can finally reach out to a professional that’ll give you the flattering finish you’ve been seeking.
