Why Professional Window Tint Removal Is Worth the Investment

Having your windows tinted provides optimum comfort on hot days and enhances the look of your car or truck. But at some point, it may be necessary to remove the tint and have a new film installed in its place. While some people choose to remove it on their own, this process is easier said than done. Here's why it's smarter to opt for professional tint removal. 

While auto glass film is designed to be durable and long-lasting, it wears down over time. Once the film peels or cracks, it can obscure your vision while driving and degrade the look of your vehicle. 

If the tint is too dark to comply with local laws, it needs to be adjusted. In Hawaii, the front, back, and rear windows of sedans must allow at least 35% of sunlight to penetrate. For SUVs and vans, the front side windows must allow 35% light penetration, while there are no regulations for back and rear windows. Only non-reflective tint is permitted on the top 4 inches of windshields, regardless of the type of vehicle. If your vehicle has the wrong tint, you may receive expensive fines and tickets. 

Benefits of Professional Tint Removal

Professionals use special tools to safely remove the film from auto glass. You may not have access to the right tools to do so on your own, which can cause serious scratches that will be expensive to repair. Depending on the severity of the damage and where it occurs, you may even need a new windshield or windows. 

Window tinting professionals use essential safety equipment to protect themselves while working with the sharp tools necessary to lift the film. With their experience, tint removal and new installation are also performed efficiently.
