A lot of thought and consideration goes into buying a car whether it\u2019s in Dubai or elsewhere. A poor quality window tint job is one factor which ruins the aesthetics of an otherwise great looking car. Whether its unwanted bubbles, streak marks, shoddy installation or sloppy tinting, there are many things that can go wrong with a tint job. So, whether you are buying a new car or looking for <\/span>used cars for sale<\/span><\/a>, a good tint job is an important consideration. Read the tips below to be warned of bad tinting methods!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. Who is the Most Blurry of All?<\/b><\/p>\n

A bad tint job will reflect poorly. Not just figuratively but also literally. Do a little experiment. Observe the quality of your car tint in clear sunlight. If the reflection of the nearby areas are clear and distinct, then that is a sign of a good tint job. A blurry and mottled reflection, however, is the sign of a bad tint job.<\/span><\/p>\n

How are Your Edges Doin\u2019?<\/b><\/p>\n

When on the lookout for a good window tinting job, observe the edges of the car. A professional installer will use pre-cut, computerized templates to get the window aligned as close to the edge of the rubber borders as possible. A proper window installation will not waver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for Bubbles<\/b><\/p>\n

Bubbles is yet another sign of a lousy tint job. A bad tint job will enhance bubble formation on the windows. An expert will always devise ways to reduce bubble occurrence as much as possible. A low quality window tinting will cause the adhesive to break early on. If your window tinting is clear without any bubbly surfaces, pat yourself on getting closer to the perfect tint job.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Problematic Dot-matrix<\/b><\/p>\n

The dot-matrix are concentrated edges on the surface of every window edge. They are raised and textured surfaces. It can be harder to tint a window with raised edges. There are plenty of short-term fixes used by sloppy car handlers such as gluing and filling the surfaces with cheap adhesives. None of those methods work in the long run. Sanding the dotted edges down and ensuring that the dotted line is consistent with the window borders is a better method.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shades can be \u201cShady\u201d!<\/b><\/p>\n

Window tinting is mostly done to reduce the heat transference from the environment. The window tinting or the \u201cdegree of shading\u201d on the window diminishes the Visible Light Transference (VLT). Normally, a darker tint signifies a lower percentage of light transmittance. Darker tints are evidently better at reflecting away heat. Every country has their own regulations regarding the legality of tint darkness. Fortunately, in Dubai, the rule has been changed from a <\/span>former 30% tint limit to a boosted 50%<\/span><\/a>. Now, more car owners can stay cool under the scorching heat of <\/span>Dubai!<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, more companies are coming up with different techniques of tinting such as ceramic tinting or spectral tinting. These tints can be much better at reflecting heat than a poor quality dark tint. So, it is actually the quality of the tint shade that matters as opposed to the color. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a car owner, you may have chosen the best looking car parts but if you didn\u2019t pay for good workmanship, then all was done in vain. Looking out for the above tips can make you more aware of bad eggs out there! <\/span><\/p>\n
