Issue with Tint on a Yacht- NEVER Seen this before - NEED Advice!

Tint World E Ft · October 27, 2015

The film formed these cloud like patterns in the tint approximately 8 months after installation.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? The film used was SunTek's Carbon XP 18%.

Any insight on this would be very helpful and appreciated. What would cause it? Is it in the film, in the glass or in between? Maybe the cleaning crew was using harsh chemicals to clean? Is that a possibility?

Thanks in advance!

it almost looks like they didn't squeegee the liquid out enough and also had air in between the film and glass.

It looks to me that glass is laminated and that the heat caused delamination
