Window tint is a thin layer in shades of gray that is applied to windows to provide UV protection, privacy, and shade from sunlight. generating more popularity in recent years.
Among the methods of window tinting, the most common are factory submerged glass and film. The submerged glass in the factory is when it arises from a pre-dyeing factory, being a little more expensive and does not always work, so some car dealers do not always offer it.

The film is placed inside the vehicle and using blades very carefully it begins to cut to size, so that the heat guns can reduce the size a little. once the dye is finished, the window tends to become hazy and with bubbles that begin to accumulate below the surface. This being normal since they come from the moisture that is used in the solution to apply the dye to the glass.
