FOR USE ON GLASS WINDOWS ONLY (inside surface) DO NOT apply to plastic or plexiglass windows
Instructions for applying the window tint to windows 1. Application Area
Please choose a dust free area away from wind and out of direct sunlight.
2. Pre-clean glass
*Thoroughly clean the outside and inside of the window that you will be applying the window film to with a soapy water solution. Be sure to wipe away dirt and grime from the surface. Note: Do not use a household cleaner or ammonia based cleaner to clean the window prior to installing the window film.
*Use a lint free cloth to completely dry the surface prior to applying the film.
3. Trim window film to fit surface
*Unroll the window film and identify the backing liner and tint sides. Note: The backing liner side of the film is slick and the film side is sticky.
*Place the liner side on the glass that you wish to apply the film to. You may lightly wet the surface to hold the film in place while trimming.
Note: Be careful not to apply too much pressure as to cut the property behind the film.
4. Remove Backing Liner
*Carefully remove the backing liner from the window film while still in place on the outside window. Tip: Use 2 pieces of adhesive on opposite sides of the film in a corner and peel apart. Spray the inner sticky side of the film lightly with the spray solution. Wet your fingers also to prevent leaving fingerprints when handling the film. *Now that the adhesive side of the film is exposed, handle carefully to avoid creasing and crimping.
5. Applying the window film
*Spray the inside surface of the window thoroughly with soapy solution.
*Carefully remove the film from the outside window surface and place the wet sticky side against the wet inside window surface. *Fold up the excess window film at the bottom of the window so it will not pick up and dirt or grime and trim.
