There may be an element of skepticism concerning the effectiveness or durability of window film solutions out in the collective consciousness of the consumer’s mind.
This negative perception is based on the purple, bubbling tint they see on some cars on our roads.
The thought is: “if this is what is going to happen to my window film, I’d rather take my chances with the clear glass I already have!”
We understand.
There was a time when window tinting was made using dyes and less than durable adhesives. These films wouldn’t last very long, peeled and bubbles while turning purple. Even today some cheaply made tints can have the same result.
