Have you ever gone to get in your car and your seat feels like it is on fire?? Hi my names Caleb Werdel and I’m here to teach you how to tint your window. This will be a four-step process. In the last five years I have tinted numerous windows and I would like to teach you the ways.

Supplies

You will need a razor blade, tint, glass cleaner, soapy water in a spray bottle, microfiber rag, and a squidgy.

The first step will be cleaning the outside of the window. Start by spraying the window with glass cleaner. Next scrape the window to get any dirt and debris off then get the window wet again and use the squidgy to dry it off.

This step we will need to wet the window and unroll the tint acrossed it. The tinted side of film will need to be contacting the glass with the clear film side facing out. The water will need to be squidgied out and then we can start to cut the edges so the tint fits nicely on the window.

Step three clean the inside of the window, in this step the principles are the same as step one but the window needs to be free of everything so there are no air bubbles in the tint.

Step four will consist of applying the tint, wet the window with your soapy water. Now separate the clear and tinted pieces of film and wet the tinted piece while pulling them apart. Now apply the tint to the window and make sure to get the top edge lined up. Following that you will squidgy out the water and air bubbles. After all the air bubbles and water are out step back and admire the finished product
