Tinted car windows add a certain glamour to a street performance car in Edmonds. However, the tint also requires specific regular maintenance. Otherwise, bubbles will start to form.

Washing Tinted Car Windows the Right Way

The two materials you need are a microfiber cloth and ammonia-free soap mixed with water. We suggest that you wash the windows last when washing your car, and avoid washing the edges of the window. Water and soap can seep between the glass and tint, leading to the dreaded bubbles. If bubbles do form, force the air out of the bubble by pushing the air out using a credit card or similar object.

Wipe in a vertical direction across the entire window and again horizontally. Do the same when you’re wiping the window dry with a dry microfiber cloth. If streaks remain, repeat the process. You may also have to repeat the process once or twice for grimy areas.

Keep in mind that these tips apply to the side of the window that the tint is applied on. This is usually the interior side. This portion of the cleaning can be done as part of an interior vehicle detailing.

Hand Washing is Best

We recommend a car wash by hand rather than an automated car wash if you have tinted windows. The washer in an automated car wash may include low-quality abrasive soap or wipers with an abrasive surface. Even if the tint is in the interior, abrasive material isn’t good for any part of the vehicle.

I was blown away with how my car looked after I had it detailed at Henry’s. I will definitely be taking all my cars here when they need a detailing and have no issues recommending Henry’s to all my friends.

The guys at Henry’s did an amazing job with my car! I have two very furry pups and a child who is disgusting. My car was taken to Henry’s and when we picked it up I actually didn’t recognize it at first! It was gorgeous, like it had just come off the showroom floor. They did such a great job cleaning the car up! It was so nice I made my daughter take her shoes off before getting in the car! Thank you so much for all the hard work!

I left my car sitting for awhile without realizing my kids had left food on the back seat, and came back to mold growing on the upholstery. I called Henry's and they were able to see me that same day, and when I picked the car up that night it looked and smelled brand new. And it was a yucky, sticky car before. Everybody was friendly and professional and the whole experience was simple. Would recommend, will be going again myself.

Henry's did an outstanding interior and exterior detail service of my vehicle. When I picked it up it, my car was in better condition than when I bought it from the dealership. Over Thanksgiving weekend my brother had vomited in my new car all over the passenger side and down inside the window well. My particular service involved the door of my car needing to be taken apart for detailing of vomit that rolled down with the window. Henry and his team carefully and professionally took apart my car where needed to complete the full detail and remove all of the vomit. I found them to be expert in performance, knowledge of products to use, and how to best care for my situation. The smell is completely gone and my car was put back together correctly! They managed to squeeze me in before I had to head back home. The best part about this business is they are friendly and genuine to each customer. I felt truly taken care of and didn't have to worry if I was going to be taken advantage of like at a dealership. They care about their work and the people that come to them. Plus it feels great to support a family business! Henry's your man!

Excellent detailing on my Subaru. It was filthy and I was not sure some of the stains would come out. When i picked it up it looked brand new! This is my second detailing with Henry’s and I definitely recommend them.
