Re: window tinting
Hello,
I used to install film years ago. The tint years ago was made of dyes, over time the dye faded and became purple. Todays films are made with metal to reflect more heat and UV rays.
What ammonia does is eats the glue from the film. If you use the ammonia Windex to clean the windows over time the film will deteriorate. So go along with IgotGame said and DO NOT use ammonia based cleaners.
As far as putting the film on most shops use water and soap. The backside of the film has glue on it, so as soon as the film is applied it sticks. If you put the soap in it it allows for you to manuver the film where you need it. From there you cut the film around the windows edge and then use a squeege to get the water out between the glass and the film. In a couple of days it will be dry.
The only other thing you should know and the company tinting the windows will tell you is you may see bubbles in the film. That is water that hasn't dried. This will go away with time, DO NOT puncture it.
I hope this helps
