Film dry-out time
The mounting solution used during the installation of your Solar Gard window film may require a dry-out time. Cold or non-sunny weather conditions can lengthen the dry-out time, while warm weather and direct sunlight exposure will shorten it.
Small water beads and a slightly cloudy look may appear during the dry-out time. If slow drying does occur, do not become alarmed. The film will dry out.
Do not clean the film for 30 days after installation.
Cleaning instructions
To maximize the life of the window film, please follow these instructions for proper care and maintenance.
½ oz dish soap + 1 quart water
Most glass cleaners will work well, although a good cleaning solution for window film is 1/2 ounce of liquid dish soap added to 1 quart of fresh water.
✓Do
- Always use clean, soft materials to wash and dry your window film surfaces.
- Wash with a soft cloth or a clean synthetic sponge.
- Dry with another clean soft cloth or a soft rubber squeegee.
✕Avoid
- Bristle brushes, abrasive scrubbing sponges, or any cleaning materials that may have been contaminated with dirt particles.
- Washing interior and exterior windows with the same cleaning materials.
- Coarse paper towels. Some brands can put fine scratches in the film, even films with a scratch-resistant, protective hard-coat finish. The scratches may be too fine to see at first, but they reduce the polished look of the film over time.
