scratch on tint?
hello all,
i got my windows tinted last week and yesterday i noticed few very thin long vertical scratchs on my tinted window...
i rolled down my window yesterday for the first time since the tint was put on... could that be the cause of the scratch? or did the shop just messed up?
Also while putting on my acura-cl.com sticker, i noticed some dirty water streaks behind the 3rd break light...seems like the tint guy was too lazy to cover that area up and let dirty water ran down there when cleaning the back window... any way to clean that mess up?
thanks for any info.

I'm wondering the same too. I waited for the metallic tint to dry completely (4-6 weeks)
Lo and behold a 1 inch scratch mark shows up..wtf?

Coming to a city near you
its probably not dirty water but adveshive or something. After I had my done there was that "dirty water" all over the seats and window sills. Is everbody back window a seamless tint job. Sometimes you can see the seam on mine and it is annoying.

I know a very good tint shop which tinted my other cars and my friends car with Llumar tint ... and no problems or any scratches.
They'll my car for $270 all over
------------------
'01 CL type-S.
Stats on all-stock with 1/2 tank from Gtech:
0-60 in 5.85
Why drink and drive, when you can smoke and fly?

270?? Wow, where I got it done its 140 and the back window is done in one piece. Its a reputable place because that's where a bunch of the NY Yankees brought theirs.
