Default Question about tint..

I got these horrible blotches on my windows, its like acid rain spots or something..... and the **** does not come off..

If i got tint on my car would you be able to see all the spots on the window? One of my friends told me most tinting places use some heavy duty **** to clean off the windows, but i dont want them putting tint on anyway if they cant get the **** off


Also..how hard was it to find a shop to do hatch in one piece? My friends camaro was done in like 4 and it looked really stupid

The spots are on your glass will be hard to get off. Tint shops usually use soap and water for windows. But they do have a chemical they will use to get the tint off and to clean with when they have to. May help with the water spots.

As for tinting in 1 piece that's not a problem. As long as the person tinting the hatch has a roll wide enough. Any good shop should be able to accomodate you.

Just ask if they can tint it with one piece and if not go somewhere that can. Also explain your concerns about the spots, don't just assume they will take care of it.

Try Zaino glass polish. I had some bad water spots on my ttops and that was the only thing that took it off.
