its true there is no such thing as a perfect tint job. There is always going to be some kind of contamination(dirt,dust,lint)while installing tint. There is a way to hide or improve flaws. Usually when there is a speck of dirt between the glass and tint it leave a white visible speck. If you are **** like me and want everything to look flawless all you have to do is take your finger nail or a plastic card and gently press the tint around the speck of dirt and watch it disappear. Some times it will take a little heat, but be careful not to scratch or tear the tint. Most tinter are just trying to get the job done quickly and don't have time for all minor flaws. Trust me I do this all the time!

I'll third that. My Lexus came with a placard telling me not to roll down the windows for 3 to 5 days and no washing for 30 days.

The tint job can be perfect, including that hard-to-get-to area next to the side mirrors.
