    Which auto glass tint manufacturers/products should I consider for my
    Accord? I read about Madico Charcool being a good reputable product.
    Also any recommended dealers in the greater Los Angeles area?

    I have Llumar on multiple vehicles and love it. Especially the lifetime
    warranty... and they honor it! ...4 years later with receipt. I screwed it
    up with some overspray of some industrial cleaner and it got pock marks on
    it. Replaced no problem. I love that! I love it so much, I got some
    mirror tint that I had installed on my house for security reasons. Looks
    GREAT and the same warranty applies. The cats in the house love it too as
    they sit about 3 feet from the birdfeeder, the birds have no clue. Anyway,
    back to the car...

    I live in Florida where the sun can bake anything and the tint is almost 6
    yrs old and as dark as new. I am very picky and this stuff lasts! just
    avoid the window cleaner products.

  4. The well-backed warranty is a valuable thing. Tint tends to scratch or tear
    over the years, and one that is less likely to do that and will be fixed for
    free if it does is worth a premium.

    I use a damp/moist (not dripping) terry cloth towel then a dry one to dry.
    Any soft "face cloth" towels will work, the softer the better.

    I use plain old tap water. I usually clean them when it is warm outside, to
    me I think it helps if the window is warm. No science to back that up
    though, but it helps with the drying.
