alright i had my car tinted yesterday and there is a residue left behind on the paint and the windows (outside). my question is would it be urgent to wash my car or is it ok til i can wash it tomarow? if it is a problem then i guess i will have to run out to the car wash when i get home tonight from my shift manager class for my work but i prefer not to. i dont know what it is but i guess its glue? kinda looks like when u get tire shine on your paint if u know what i mean.

What you probably see on the outside paint and window is probably a soapy water solution. This is what tinters use to apply the tint to the inside of the window. They usually spray the outside window first, lay the tint on the outside, cut it, and then spray the inside of the window, peal the tint and stick it inside on the window.

I personally think you will be fine leaving it until tomorrow. It most likely is dried soapy water solution.

hope that helps.

 

Yeah I wouldn't obcess over it either. If you're going to clean it now, make sure you don't use a pressure washer. You don't want to (possilby) force water over the window seal and onto the drying edge of the tint. The tint usually needs 3-7 days to set properly. No sense in disturbing it.

I'd give it a week before messing with it. When I got my tint done, the guy told me not to mess with it for 5 days....just to be safe.

 

ok i just wanted to know what that was. its still safe for me to wash my car right? im not going to be using a powerwasher just a regular garden hose. i plan to detail my car this weekend because i just got a pc!! wo0t!!
