After care of your XPEL Prime XR window tint
As window tint film is a water-mounted product it may take up to 2 weeks to dry completely. During this drying period it is completely normal to see a light cloudiness in the film and/or small water bubbles.
It is paramount that you do not roll the newly tinted windows in your vehicle down for 5 days after the window tint has been installed to avoid de-lamination.
When cleaning the inside of your vehicle’s windows you can use a mild soap and water mixture with a soft cloth or micro fiber. Avoid using brushes or any cleaning products that contain abrasives or ammonia. At Kanata Wheels we sell and recommend products for cleaning the interior of windows that have had window tint film.
