3. Ammonia and Sun Method
Things Needed: steel wool, spray bottle containing ammonia solution, paper towels, razor blade, unused plastic garbage bags, ordinary dish soap
Cut several pieces of plastic bag to cover the inside and outside of the car window. Spray the soapy solution on the outside of the car window and cover it with plastic bag.

But as much as tinted windows look classy, when they start to peel they give an awful look to the car. Patches of the film on your car windows tamper with the appeal of your vehicle. Sometimes, the problem arises a few weeks after the installation of the window tint.
So, what could be the reason behind this problem and is it manageable? This article will find out the answers to the questions posed above. We'd explore the factors that may possibly damage window screens, turning our luxurious cars to resemble something like a junk.

Cause of Window Tint Damage

​Here are some of the most common factors that cause your tint to damage, making it ineffective and unuseful.

1. Sun Exposure

Sun exposure is the most common cause of the peeling of window tint. When parked outside without any cover, your car is directly under the sun. The harsh UV rays from the sun can be damaging for the layer of film installed on car windows. To protect your windows from this possible damage, always remember to lay a car cover on your vehicle if you are parking the car without a shade.

2. Poor Installation

The poor installation of the tint on car windows is also a common cause for the damaged window tints. At the time of installation, be careful that there are no bubbles or creases on the tint. A gap between the window and the tint will allow the bubbles to expand and break the film. To ensure that you don't have to face this problem in the future, always get your tint installed from an expert.

3. The Age of the Tint

Have you seen cars with purple window tints? After looking at them, you'd probably be praising the owner of the cars for daring to pull off installing a bold color on their car. Little did you know that there is nothing special about the owner and that the color is due to the age of the tint. Old tints or those who have aged over time often lose their original color and turn purple. This color is the clear indication of the fact that your tint has turned old and now is the time to change it. Old tints are completely ineffective and fail to protect the interior of your car from the harsh sun rays.

Summary

​The sensitive layer of film on your car is prone to potential damage caused by different factors. Just like regularly maintaining the engine of the car, it is important to keep a check on the exterior health of your vehicle. A peeling tint gives an ugly look to your car which you'd not want. If you know about the common causes of tint peeling, you are more likely to protect your car against it
