Tinting Issues (AGAIN)

I'm pretty upset about these bubbles considering I got the car tinted a few weeks ago and there were numerous bubbles. I brought it back to the place and they redid the tint on Monday the 24th, today is the 27th and there is a few small bubbles and what appears to be tiny streaks/bubbles. I'm mainly posting this to ask if they are water bubbles or air bubbles. If its a water bubble is there any chance of it not going away? I am in the Boca Raton area and the car got decent sun for the first 2 days but today was minimal. Thanks

Let it sit in the sun. Bubbles will go away by themselves! That is the same
Case on my tint 5% all around after a few days bubbles was gone. Mine was even worst that yours. 👍

I had it done on two Denali's and never had bubbles like that, even in this Texas sun

A few of those bubbles should go away in the sun, but some of the bubbles look like trapped dirt which will stay there.

Who did the tint job?

To me the majority of those bubbles will not go away. Looks like the job was done in a dusty environment.

Hate to say it but that's not going away. I don't care how long you wait. There appears to be dirt and a lot of large air bubbles in that tint. bring it back and have them fix it right. Prep is so important in tint, if there is dirt on the glass it will be trapped under the tint. If they took your old tint off to re-tint you, then the old glue must be cleaned completely. I would say there looks to be some old glue trapped under there too.

Please be careful and don't have it removed too much. I had a Lexus that had the tint redone and they removed the defrosting lines. There is always a chance.
