Window tint on my car is bubbling and fading. How do I choose quality tint that won’t do this again?
Bubbling and fading indicates cheap dye-based tint or poor installation. Quality tints use ceramic or carbon technology that doesn’t fade. Brands like 3M Crystalline, XPEL Prime, or Llumar CTX are proven in Dubai heat. Installation is equally important – proper prep, dust-free environment, and skilled application prevent bubbles. When I got mine redone, they removed old tint completely, cleaned glass thoroughly, and applied in controlled environment. No issues after 18 months in Dubai sun. Check tint discussions at https://www.reddit.com/r/DubaiPetrolHeads/comments/1qdfygs/looking_for_a_trusted_car_detailing_shop_in_dubai/ about film quality. Budget 1500-2500 AED for quality ceramic tint all windows. Verify warranty – good tint has lifetime warranty against bubbling, fading, peeling. Darker isn’t always better – 35-50% allows good visibility while blocking heat. Legal limit in Dubai is 50% for rear/back, no tint allowed on front windscreen except top strip.
