Is ceramic window tint worth it?

How long does window film take to cure?

Cure time depends on temperature and sunlight. In general, window tint can take a few days up to a couple weeks to fully cure. During curing, you may see small water pockets or haze—this is normal and fades as the film dries.

Can I roll my windows down after tinting?

We recommend keeping windows up for at least 2–4 days after installation (sometimes longer in cold weather). This prevents the film edges from lifting while everything sets properly.
