6 SIGNS YOU NEED CAR TINT REMOVAL
Peeling Edges
One of the first signs of worn-out car tint is peeling edges. Peeling edges is usually caused by the breakdown of the film materials and adhesives due to the powerful rays of the sun. You may hear a crackling noise as you roll your car windows up and down over these edges. Although car tint is applied to the interior of your car’s windows, you may be able to see this damage from the outside, which, for aesthetics, is not ideal.
Bulges or Air Bubbles
Air bubbles can be the result of several things. As your car tint ages, the adhesives can begin to wear out. This can allow air to get underneath your car’s tint film and get stuck, creating unsightly bulges or bubbles. However, if you notice air bubbles early on in your car tint, it’s probably due to an amateur car tint installation job. With Jet Black Tint, our technicians undergo rigorous training before they are allowed to work on customers’ cars. We quality control our car tint installations as well to ensure you get the highest-quality installation job possible.
Scraped Tint
Scraped or scratched car tint is another sign of wear and tear you don’t want to ignore. These small nuances can grow big quite quickly, resulting in scratches all along your car’s window film. This causes even more stress on the rest of the car tint’s adhesives with the result being you’ll have to invest in car tint removal services. These cuts and scratches could also be the result of a poor car tint installation. They could have been made if the tint installers used razor blades to apply the car tint to your windows. If you haul items in the back of your vehicle, such as bikes, skis, or other large items that shift in movement, scratches can occur as well.
Fading
Mostly due to the sun’s rays, your car’s tint will begin to fade over time to a more purplish hue. The finish can fade as well and lose color. What’s more, this fading is not uniform, meaning the discoloration could be uneven, so your car’s tint is now different colors. This is most definitely unsightly and not the aesthetic you are going for. Plus, it can impact your visibility as well, which is a safety hazard when you’re driving down the road. Give one of Jet Black Tint’s Bay-Area locations a call to remedy this situation right away.
Hot Car Interior
You may notice that your car is unusually hot when you enter it from the past. This means that more of the sun’s rays are making it through the window film and into your car. Not only will this cause an increase in the temperature of your car’s interior, but it can also affect the amount of harmful UV rays you and your family are exposed to, as well as your car’s interior, resulting in fading or cracking.

Noticeable Increase in Gas Usage
One of the main properties and benefits of car tint is that it resists heat, meaning it blocks the sun’s rays, which helps to keep your car cool. This, in turn, allows you to use less air conditioning, which is a drain on your car’s engine, and thus your fuel. If you are noticing that you are filling up your tank more frequently than before, it may be an ineffective car window tint that is to blame.
