Tint question
I just got mine done and notice little tiny air bubbles in a couple spots on some of the windows. Looks great from far away but when you walk up and inspect it you can see them. Is there such a thing as the perfect tint job? I noticed my neighbors looks the same and he got it done at a different shop. I'm very **** and am looking for perfection. But maybe it can't be done. Does all your guys tint have minor imperfections?

it does take a couple days to fully cure. but yea there should be any bubbling, crinkling. sometimes it does happen though, dust particles get trapped between the window and the film and u cant do anything about it. unless if they work in a controlled and sealed environment.

it should be perfect. There are many tint shops with lifetime warranty that guarantee their work against pealing, bubbling and fading. That shows you that tint should be perfect when they are on your car. though normally tint takes up to a week to cure, so wait till after a week and see if there are any bubbles left

ok ill wait it out. I pushed on a couple small bubbles and it made them smaller but they didn't go away completely. Next I will try to puncture one with a small needle to see if that helps. If not I'm going to take it to another shop to see if they can do better.

First, don't start poking holes in it with a needle. Go back to the place where you had it done and have them look at it.
It's one of two things:
1. moisture that hasn't completely cured
2. trash/dirt under the film
There typically isn't such a thing as a perfect tint job. It's virtually impossible unless you are installing in a clean room wearing a bunny suit. You can get close to perfect but it's hard to avoid the tiny particles of dust floating through the air as you are carrying a piece of film to a car to install.
Check with the shop you had it done at. If it's an unusual amount of dirt/trash a good shop will honor it and replace the film.
One question I have is, what year is your car? Brand new cars are clean and more likely to be close to perfect than say a car that is 5 years old.
I'm in the 99th percentile when it comes to being picky so I feel your pain however, tint is for looking through not at :-) (that's a joke so don't get all affected)
Good luck!
