Can this be fixed? Wondering how this happens
Brand new vehicle, went to a reputable tint shop and had Formula One Stratos installed. When all was done the shop pointed out to me that they noticed an area on the back passenger window that looked like adhesive or residue but it would not come off. They said maybe it came from the factory this way or something? Running your fingernail over the area you can very barely feel a difference. What is weird it's almost a perfect arch and looks like a white residue with a sort of pattern to it. You can see it more so at certain angles and under brighter light. I have tried to clean it off with glass cleaner to no avail. I will attach a photo but it's kind of hard to show it accuratelty so apologies in advance. I'd love to hear your input on the following: 1. Is there any way possible that the tint shop somehow caused this? I know tint goes on the inside but is there any prep, adhesive, heating to shrink etc.. that might have left this mark? In all fairness it's possible it was there before I tinted the vehicle but I am just surprised I would not have noticed it since the rear windows came factory dyed (I think someone said 20-25 measured) and looking from both the outside and inside I never saw it. The tint added was 50 so certainly darker and thus blemishes more visible. 2. Is something like this fixable? Assuming it can maybe be buffed out or something? If doing so would it impact visibility in that area when looking out or in? Worst case I just live with it. Thank you so much for any and input. -

Help with selecting the film and installer in So Cal
Good afternoon, Just got a 2016 Subaru WRX and want to get a good quality ceramic without breaking the bank. My budget it about $300-$400. Just want a reliable tint with good grey shade and good heat rejection. Thinking about 40% back 3 windows and 60% 2 frond windows. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. -

Reduce or eliminate air flow. Also, dirt/ dust on the exterior or interior can float onto the window. You can mist or cover the interior with a towel. -

Technique is everything. Your side window preparation should go something like this: Spray the glass with soap solution. Razor blade the window to loosen contaminants. Spray the glass again. Scrub the window with a scouring sponge. Spray the glass again. WIPE THE WINDOW EDGES INCLUDING THE TOP OF THE GLASS with a clean rag or paper towel. Carefully squeegee the soapy water off the window in a pattern that zig zags sending the contaminated water downwards and overlaps by an inch to ensure correct coverage, and make sure your squeegee blade is leaning forwards at an angle so you don't leave a trail behind. Flush the vertical sides and bottom of the window to expel any residual dirty water. If you do this EXACTLY AS I SAY you will reduce the risk of getting crap under the film by 98% You can thank me later. -

^^^ great list of good habits. If your working on cars with rubber gaskets, roll down the windows first and spray them with SprayAway glass cleaner. Use a triangle card of some kind wrapped with a microfiber towel to scrub the dirt out and give it a couple squirts of water to flush it. Use the towel and triangle again when you're prepping the glass. Don't forget to scrub the top edge of the glass.
