Disclaimer & Expectations

Thank you for choosing Texas Tint Masters™! The following information is to inform you of the international window film industry standards & expectations of automotive window tinting installation services.

A standard 3-Day period is mandatory before rolling down your windows to allow for full adhesion.

What contributes to drying times?Automotive window film curing and drying times depend on various factors such as film thickness, weather conditions, and the type of adhesive used.

Generally, the curing time for most automotive window films is around 1-3 days, during which the adhesive fully sets and the film adheres to the window.

However, it is essential to avoid rolling down the windows during this period to prevent any damage to the film. The drying time, on the other hand, is usually within a few hours after the installation, allowing the film to settle and any excess water or solution used during installation to evaporate.

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before cleaning the film to ensure that it has fully cured and adhered to the window surface.

Texas Tint Masters™ provides a window cleaning service included with all automotive window tinting purchases.

Most cars have a black ceramic dotted edges on side and rear windows which can be identified as "tiny edge dots". Sometimes these ceramic edges are straight and flat, and sometimes it will have a dotted edge.

These black ceramic dots are thick on most cars and prevent the window film from sticking to the glass area between the dots.

This results in a white-ish looking finish trimming the glass. In most scenarios, this goes unnoticed by most vehicle owners. However the effect is unavoidable.

This does not affect the performance or durability of the film and is perfectly natural.

Manufacturers and Texas Tint Masters™ do NOT provide any refunds or warranty claims due to a change in look/color once a client chooses shades and film is installed.

Manufacturers and Texas Tint Masters™ will not issue any refunds for citations or failed inspections.

All vehicle owners are responsible for being aware and abiding by the laws in which the vehicle will be operating in. 

Texas Tint Masters™ will remove any current stickers the vehicle is equipped with in order to ensure maximum window film adhesion and prevent any future lifting and/or bubbling.

Window Film removals may cause the glass and/or defroster to be damaged. This is NOT an installer technique issue, this is directly determined by the quality build of the defrosters from the manufacturer (which is out of our control).

By authorizing Texas Tint Masters to proceed with film removal, the client hereby acknowledges the risk, waives any claims against Texas Tint Masters and agrees that Texas Tint Masters will not be liable in the event that damage does occur during the removal process. 

Though we strive for perfection in our installations, due to the nature of the product, natural element, & vehicle condition (even when new) some degree of dust or particles and/or minor imperfections are present in every window film application.

Pre-existing flaws, scratches, knicks, metal deposits on the glass are often much more noticeable after the window(s) is tinted.

Older vehicles will have more imperfections due to age. Some newer vehicles will have small stains in exterior of the windows only visible after a film installed. 

What causes the imperfections to stand out after a window tinting installation is the addition of a dark background versus a clear glass before it is window tinted.

There will be minor natural imperfections present in every windshield film installation. 

Do not apply any decals or windshield accessories on windshield for 7 days. Polarized glasses cause a rainbow effect when seeing through.

There are no refunds or warranty coverage on rainbow effect due to wearing polarized sunglasses. 

Front doors must allow more than 25% net of light in. This means that the window film's Visible Light Transmission (VLT) + the natural glass must be above 25%.

Back side windows and rear windows may have any darkness if the vehicle is equipped with side mirrors. Texas Law requires us to apply a compliance sticker on the bottom corner of the driver door window to notify law enforcement & inspectors of the film compliance.

Sticker MUST be present regardless of the film's VLT. If customer opts out of having this placed, Texas Tint Masters will NOT be held responsible for citations.
