Tint bubbles?
Not really a maxima specific question but I just had my tint done and there's a few tiny bubbles on the little rear window. The guy swore to me it's normal and it would probably bubble worse over the next few days before later going away.
Was he just lying to get me out the door or is this normal?

the sun evaporates the moisture and the bubbles will slowly disappear....it may take up to a month (or more depending on the weather) for your tint to completly cure
if they are still there in a month go back and let them squeegee them out
if the bubbles get bigger....did the tint come with a warranty

Ok, thanks for the help. Guess he wasn't lying to me. Luckily I live in Arizona and it's supposed to be 85+ degrees for the rest of the week so it should cure pretty fast.
I wasn't able to get a warranty because I went below the legal limits of the state (35% front max and rear as dark as you want), and I did 6% all around. So no receipt and no warranty. Shouldn't have to worry too much about tickets because limo tint is VERY common here. Even cop cars tend to be limo because it's fairly unbearable when its 115 in the summer.

Yeah, I was REAL upset to see bubbles form the day after I got my 5%. But they will evaporate from the sun.
time for summer!!

Now that you mention it, it does seem weird that it voids the warranty. I guess its because I need a receipt to have warranty and by doing that it puts his shop as the person who did "illegal" work on my car.

It is better to have the tints done in the summer where the water can just evaporate but if you can wait just get a boxcutter and put a small slice where the bubbles are and push the air and/or water out.
