tint question? with pics

I got my tints done today, unfortunately I was called in to work... So I let my girlfriend bring the car in and I drove her 2012 Accord to work which is another story... I came back I got 35 all around the tints are nice but It has so much bubbles...Ive gotten tints before but during the summer and the guy told my girl that since its winter bubbles are going to come up and it should go away in a week!!! Is this right??....




Forget the picture of me in the background focus on the bubbles



yes the chrome is sticking out I plastidipped them but took it off going to vinyl it soon

This is fine, the tints are cure-ing/drying/sealing. I had 45% on mine and it takes a couple days. Leave the car in the sun if possible. Quickens the process. I know it's cold now so the process may take a bit longer.

give it a couple to a few weeks in the sun. if its still there in a month...then complain and get it redone. however i will say mine didn't look like that but i had mine done during the summer on two different cars.

some bubbles are okay and will work their way out. DIRT is not okay and should be brought to the attention of your tint specialist. Also, tint can make pre-exisiting window scratches a little more noticable but there isn't anything short of replacing the window that can fix that. Enjoy your tint!

Okay hmmm I guess there was a preexisting scratch on the car...on the rear window I saw about an inch line on the passenger window I guess thats not the tint specialist fault...I was going to come back because of that...the bubbles have setlled and the shop is a good shop was referred by several friends...good people
