Never use glass cleaner with ammonia in it, it will ruin the adhesive and turn the tint purple over time.
well said...

Was that for your rear window or all of them?

Okay, yea, I was hoping it wouldn't break my wallet figuring it is not that important. But I'm hoping to go as dark as I can go with it. Also, I'm not sure if it is possible, but my rear passenger windows have already been tinted. Can I go darker? Is it possible for someone to wither go right over it or remove it? I would imagine you would have to remove it first right? Just a thought

I see your in Chicago, check out autopoa. They are near schaumberg and it cost me $100 for all 7 windows (including the little triangle windows) with a lifetime warranty. Turned out great

Going super dark looks great, but it can be a pain when backing up. My windows were tinted over the factory privacy glass, the rear door glass, quarter glass and rear window glass are black and impossible to see in from the outside. It really helps in the Summer and looks great, but will water spot instantly if they get wet on a hot day, and it is very hard to see behind me at night.

I'd say definitly take it in, and i'd go with a darker tint, it looks sweet IMO. my brother tried to do mine himself and both sides turned out bad.

I have to keep my windows down... a/c doesnt work
I have all my windows factory tinted except the windshield and driver/passenger windows. Its already really dark inside ... but I might tint the two front windows. I can legally have a net 35% transmittance from stock on driver/passenger windows and windsheild, which would be crazy dark (gotta love Maine)

I got my jeep with the tints on it. The drover and passenger are lighter than the back but the rest are completely black. Love them for sure but sucks when they get dirty. If you off road I'd say don't get em it'll screw with your view

Attachment 36663 Here's mine with silver mirrored factory tint. I love it. There where models offered with gold mirrored factory tint. Usually came with the gold badge pkg., The gold privacy glass pkg., and the gold alloy rims.
