Tricks To Tint Car Windows The Right Way


If you are like most people then you want your car to look its best and that is part of the reason why you put tint on the windows. Something that many people don’t realize is that you can install the tint yourself if you give yourself the time and you know a little bit about what you are doing. Something that I highly recommend is that you don’t just look at tint as a way to make your car look good, it also has other benefits that will greatly help out your car in the long run.

Even though there are a lot of benefits to putting tint on your windows you still need to know some stuff about doing it. Something that you need to understand is that you can’t just throw tint on some glass and hope that it sticks, there is a process that you need to follow. Don’t just start applying the film just yet, read the following tips to make sure your windows look professionally done.

Advice On Tinting Car Windows

Precut A Template – Something that you need to do before using the actual film is to cut a template using paper. The whole point of doing this is to avoid having to buy more film just because you cut the first piece too small. Trust me, using a template is going to be one of the best things that you do and it will make everything a lot easier on you.

Clean The Glass – Once you are ready to apply the film to the glass you need to clean the windows as good as you can. The reason you need to clean the glass is because if you don’t then you will see smudges and dirt underneath the tint even after it has been on for a while. Don’t think that a little bit of dirt won’t hurt because in  reality it will.

Wet The Glass – When you are putting the film on you will want to wet the glass right before you do it. IT is important that you don’t forget this step because if you do then the film will most likely stick to the window before you can move it around and get all the air pockets out.

When it comes to tinting your windows you need to do everything you can to make the actual application easier and that is why you do the tips outlined above. Now I understand that you still might not know what you are doing and that is fine, just make sure you check out a good website or something that will show you how to tint car windows.

Advice On Making Your Car Look Better


Having a decent looking car is ok, but everybody wants their car to look its best. What you need to know is that a car will not come all blinged out from the factory and because of this you will need to do some things to make it stand out the way that you want it to. What I love about doing the work myself is that I will be able to make the car look the way I want it to as opposed to looking like somebody else wanted it to.

You first should know what you want your car to look like so that you can start making the changes that you see fit. My advice is to try not to do things like other some people because sometimes people will do things to their cars that don’t make a lot of sense. What I would do is look on the internet to see what others are doing to their cars, you never know if you find something that you might like to do to your car. My only suggestion is that you don’t copy one car, take at least 3 of them and pick the best parts on each one.

Tips To Make Your Car Look Nicer

Clean It Often – This should be pretty obvious but I will tell you anyway, you have to keep your car clean if you want it to look its best. I recommend cleaning your car at least once a week.

Tint The Windows – Another thing that you should do is tint the windows. The best part about this is that you can get a colored tint that will change the look of the car all together and if you do the work yourself then you can save a lot of money.

Get Rims – Getting rims is well worth the money but it will cost a pretty penny to get your car looking as good as it can. The nice thing about rims is that they really set your car apart from all the other cars like yours. Just know that you don’t always need the biggest rims, sometimes smaller rims look better on smaller cars. This is a decision you will have to make but take your time when doing it.

Clean Lights – If you have ever seen a car with foggy lights or yellowish lights then it is because they didn’t clean them as often as they should. It doesn’t take that long to clean the lights and it will change the look of the car dramatically.

Some of these things won’t cost you that much but getting rims might be a little more than you wanted to spend. All I am suggesting is that you do the window tinting yourself because then you won’t spend at much, just make sure that you know how to tint car windows before you try it.
