Tint question

[newjacksm 10+ year member]

Hey yeah I got a tint job at this place highly reccomended anyways They did a pretty good job. But when I got it I noticed there was water dryed up inside of the tint.

I thought eh maybeI should clean it off with windex(on the outside) and it will be fine..

well I did nope not coming off..

I tryed smudging it off with my finger on the inside of the tint and nah nothing. (I dont have tint cleaning material so I dont really wanna try anything else that could mess it up)

Can water actually dry inside the tint and make it look like dry water on your window?

I called up the guy and he said hes never heard of that before but he can check it out....

Has this happend to any one?

all I'm seeing is dirt from rain.

just a guess, but the installer may have used tap water when installing the tint and left some sort of mineral deposits between the film and glass. If it looks like that after 6 months it's probably not going to get any better. You're probably going to have to remove it and have them redone. Did the installer have any sort of warranty?

if it is not gone in 3-4 days in sunlight, go back to the place and have them re-tint it for free.

clean your windows off at a gas station. take new pictures. I can't really see it

I have life time warranty, I brought it back there once because it was starting to bubble on the driver side window. Replaced it no questions ask, this time he doesnt sound like he really wants to do 2 windows...

But, I am sure he will...

A lot of people recommended them to me, and I don't expect anything but excellence.

One thing that does piss me off though is that they weren't excelent with me, and there was water in my trunk the day I got my tints put in, my amps were wet but they ended up ok
