NEVER clean tinted windows using ammonia. It won't fade it, but it can eat the scratch resistant coating and hurt the adhesive.


Also, LLumar doesn't have a "ceramic" tint. They have Axcess (ATX), but it's not a true ceramic. Most my customers think it's far from being black or gray and more brown/green.

I already know, I said I DID NOT use amonia. I forget which 3m I had, but i know it was like 300 to get it on the car. I hear wonders about the Crystalline, but I already have both cars tinted, so maybe in the futute i can go that route.

I dont know where your customers get brown/green from. i dont see those colors when i look at my car. But to each their own I guess.
