Guppro Window Tinting

Have a window film or window tint-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • How is automotive window tint installed?

    • Windows are thoroughly cleaned to ensure that all dirt and debris are removed. 
    • The film is machine-cut. Once that process is complete, we will clean your window.
    • Trim the edges of your film to ensure the perfect fit.

  • Does the tint go on the outside or inside of my car’s windows?

    The tint is applied on the inside. The film is put on the outside to trace out the window shape, then cut on a “peel board” to that shape. We will clean the interior of the window and then the film is installed on the inside.

  • How long does it take to tint car windows?

    Ranges from 3 to 8 hours, depending on the type of vehicle and the number of windows. Partial jobs can take 1-4 hours.

  • Should I drop off my vehicle or wait?

    Drop off your vehicle for the day and we’ll let you know when it’s ready. Someone will have to pick you up after you drop your vehicle off.

  • Can you have window tinting applied to your windows in wet or cold weather?

    Yes. With modern adhesive systems and tinting products, you can have your windows tinted even if it’s freezing outside. In adverse conditions, the curing time might take longer.

  • How long should I keep my windows rolled up after I have window tint installed?

    We recommend keeping your windows up for at least 4 days.

  • How long does the film take to fully cure?

    The cure time depends on the film type and drying time of the remaining solution. You might see bubbles, haze, streaks, or other visual defects while drying. Don’t be alarmed! This is normal while the remaining solution evaporates. Additionally, the cure time can vary given a variety of circumstances. If it’s hot out, the film might be cured in a few days. If it’s chilly out, the curing process might last a few weeks. During the cure time, it’s normal for you to see bubbles, streaks, and other visual defects.

  • What do I use to safely clean my windows?

    Wait a week before cleaning them. Cleaning them too soon can mess up the tint before it fully cures. Your windows will have been wiped down but will likely need cleaning with a soft paper towel and ammonia-free cleaner after 7 days. Do not use “Windex with Ammonia-D” or blue-colored cleaners. We suggest Sprayway glass cleaner. You can also use soap and water, vinegar and water, or anything without ammonia or abrasive cleaners. 

  • What are these chips in my tint?

    Watch your seat belts! When you take off your seat belt, it can hit your window. This results in a chip in the tint each time this occurs. Carefully unbuckle once you have window tint installed. This is not covered under warranty.

  • Will you tint over existing films?

    No. Window film is made to stick to glass, not to other surfaces. Installing film over previously installed film voids all warranties.
