Stick with shades of black, not colors.
The ’80s and ’90s are long past, and we’d like to think so are the days of colored tint. In fact, some states have bans on certain colors for vehicle tint (North and South Carolina ban shades of red and yellow, for example). Most states have bans on any shade of red or blue window tint, presumably saving those colors for law enforcement.
Do Not Use Window Cleaner
Do not use window cleaner that contains Ammonia (standard Windex, for example). The Ammonia will cause the tint to turn purple in color. Choose a streak-free window cleaner marked as "Ammonia free."
Clean Windows Thoroughly
Always clean the windows thoroughly – It is important that you have clean windows or the tint won’t still properly and there will be many smudges that won’t come off after the tint is on.
Car Seat Heaters
Car seat heaters are great accessories, especially if you live in a cold climate and you have to drive, each morning, your freezing car. You’re probably familiar with the scenario: you wake up in a cold winter morning, you get in the car and you drive to your workplace. It’s freezing inside the car and it will be freezing for a while, because the car heating starts working only after the engine is warm enough. When it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside, you’ll probably have to drive for 10 miles before the interior of the car to start warming up. And it will be another 10 miles to reach to a comfortable temperature. Car seat heaters save you from all that trouble. They start warming your body from the moment when you get inside the car and you’ll be able to drive comfortably from all the way.
What is Clear Coat Paint?
Automotive paints are a mixture of ingredients including resins, binders, fillers, additives, and carrying agents (typically solvents, sometimes water). Clear coat paint is simply paint, or resin without pigment. Non-clear coat paints (also called single-stage paint) is paint (or resin) with pigment added to give the paint color.
Additives are specialized chemicals that are often used to provide a specific characteristic to the paint, depending on the application. An example would be a Flex Agent. Flex Agents are used in paints that are applied to flexible components, such as flexible urethane bumpers, to help the paint resist cracking when the urethane bumper flexes. UV inhibitors are another clear coat additive that helps prevent the sun's ultra violet rays from fading the color coat under the clear coat
Today, approximately 95% of all cars, trucks, and S.U.V.'s coming out of the factory have a clear coat finish.
Clear coat finishes (also referred to as two-stage paint systems) are simply a layer of clear resin applied over the top of colored resin. Although a clear coat does protect the base coat, just like a single-stage finish, the clear coat needs to be regularly maintained to keep it in top shape.
Contrary to what you may have heard clear coat finishes do need to be waxed periodically to maintain their appearance value. Don't buy into the false information that clear coat paints are paints that require no maintenance, this is simply not true. Simply look at any car with a clear coat finish that has been neglected and compare it to a car with a clear coat finish that has been recently detailed and your eyes, as well as your common sense, will tell you that clear coats look better when maintained, and accordingly will last longer when maintained.
