Chandon Sanders • June 30, 2024

Window tinting your car has many benefits including added privacy, heat rejection, glare reduction and UV ray protection. Along with these benefits you will maintain a high end aesthetic appeal paired with a sleek appearance that will compliment any style. It is important to understand the value of window tinting along with replacement signs to assure the tints are working for your benefit as a driver. A Buff & Beyond Performance Car Care based in New Jersey installs high-quality window tinting with first-rate knowledge and superior customer service. There are a few key signs drivers should consider when replacing their vehicle’s window tinting. Let’s look at the top 5:

1. Your Tint is Fading Or Looks Discolored 

If your car’s window tint’s original shade is starting to fade, it’s time to check in with a professional such as our installers at A Buff and Beyond. When fading occurs or window tints begin looking discolored, it could be due to the strength of UV rays breaking down the color of your tint or poor manufacturer’s quality. Either way it would be a good idea to come in and understand the benefits of a replacement package. 

2. If You’ve Noticed Any Evidence of Bubbling

Any bubbling that appears on your window tint means there’s an issue. This could be due to poor installation or lack of proper adhesive . DIY window tinting kits are notorious for bubbling issues because they are not professionally installed and are not backed by a high-quality brand or qualified guarantee. window tint bubbling can occur over the years due to general wear and tear or the impact of excessive exposure from the sun. New Jersey summer’s can be hot and humid, if you notice bubbling on your tint it’s time for an upgrade. 

3. Scratches on Your Tint 

Scratches that appear on your window tint are a cause for concern. Within any small scratch can be damage to the adhesion that  binds your tint to the glass. This can happen in severe weather such as ice, hail, or falling debris. This is also possible from general wear and tear such as a key scratch or parking mishap.  If the adhesion isn’t sealed properly any scratches may result in peeling of the tint, signaling you are in need of a replacement where ceramic window tint should be of consideration. 

4. Keep Your Tint Legal, Keep Yourself and Others Safe 

Window tinting laws vary from state to state and it is your responsibility as a driver to understand your legal limits. Our knowledgeable team at A Buff and Beyond, New Jersey’s Premier Car Center promises our customers a clear understanding of their legal limitations to assure safe and legal driving on the road. Tinting rules vary based on shade visibility also known as VLT (Visual Light Transmission) and the lower your VLT percentage, the darker your tint appears. In New Jersey, the VLT percentage on tinting must be 70%, meaning 70% of light will be able to come through. New Jersey drivers are not legally able to put window tints on the windshield and other limitations vary based on vehicle make or model. 

5. Overall Visibility 

If the clarity of your tint is compromised, it is vital that you stop into a professional automotive care center such as A Buff & Beyond to get your tints removed or replaced. This is a concern for your safety and others on the road if the opacity of your tint does not serve you safely as a driver.
