After Your Appointment
Window Tint Aftercare
Your new LLumar film needs a little time to cure. Follow these simple steps to keep it looking great and keep your lifetime warranty protected.
Keep your windows up for 24 hours
Don’t roll your tinted windows down for 24 hours so the film has time to cure.
A little haze is normal
You may see slight haze, streaks or small water bubbles while the film dries. It can take 2 to 3 weeks to fully clear, and longer in cold weather. Don’t press on them or pick at the edges.
Clean with any glass cleaner and a soft towel
Any type of glass cleaner and any type of soft towel works on your tinted windows.
No sharp or abrasive tools
Never use steel wool, razor blades, abrasive pads or other sharp metal objects on tinted windows. LLumar film is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof.
Watch for snags
Be careful with seat belt buckles, keys, rings and pet claws around tinted glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is window tinting legal in New York State?
Yes. New York State law requires all vehicles to allow at least 70% of light through the front side windows and windshield (only a non-reflective strip is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield). For sedans and passenger cars, the same 70% rule applies to the rear side windows and rear window. For SUVs, vans, and trucks, the rear side windows and rear window can be as dark as you want. Tint is checked during the annual inspection. Medical exemptions exist via the DMV. Reflective or mirrored film is illegal. We install only NYS-compliant tint and can advise on the right shade for your vehicle.
How long does automotive window tinting take?
Most jobs take between 30 minutes and 2.5 hours, depending on the vehicle, the number of windows and the film. You'll see the estimated time for your job when you book.

LLumar CTX is a high-performance ceramic film that blocks over 99% of UV rays and up to 72% of infrared heat. LLumar IRX is our top-tier infrared-rejecting nano-ceramic film that blocks up to 88% of infrared heat and up to 62% of total solar energy for maximum comfort. Both carry a lifetime warranty.
