SOAP, SHAMPOO, OR SLIME?
Choosing the Best Tinting Installation Solution
When tinting, you have to make sure you have a slippery solution between the glass and the window film. There are a few ways of achieving this effect, but which one is going to give you the best tint job for you window?
Dish Washing Liquid
Some tinters swear by mixing a few drops of dish washing liquid soap into a spray bottle full of water, and coating the window with the solution. There are a few drawbacks to this:
- Dish Washing Liquid is made for disintegrating grease, so the harsh chemicals can wear down the glue, and keep the window film from sticking properly.
- Dries fast, often times causing bubbles or streaks in the tint job
Baby Shampoo
An alternative to dish washing liquid is baby shampoo. A lot of the harsh, grease-fighting chemicals in dish washing liquid aren’t found in baby shampoo because of its gentle intended nature. However, baby shampoo still dries very quickly, and if you try to move the film after it dries, it can cause the film to scratch. The last thing you want is a scratched film.
Tint Slime
The best choice for tinting professionals everywhere is Tint Slime! Where the other options are cheaper dollar store options, Tint Slime is a product that is made specifically for window tinting. It is free of harsh chemicals and particulates, so your tint job will last longer. Tint slime makes it easy to slip the tint film when you need it to, and dries when you find the perfect placement.
The choice is clear: for your best tint job, Tint Slime is the best way to make sure you get professional-looking tinted windows every time!
