My wife was looking at me like I was crazy when I made the decision to remove the window film from my car.
It was scratched and damaged after I took the car through the car wash.
The warning about the car wash using steam to clean the grease and grime, never seemed to register in my brain. I vaguely remembered being told that window film should not be subjected to film. It can cause it to bubble and come loose around the edges. If you are using steam, you were supposed to open the windows. I was going through a car wash. Did they seriously think I was going to open my windows. I would have been a complete mess when I came through the other side. Along with being a mess, I would have probably had all kinds of bruising and possibly burns from the water, chemicals, and steam. All of this went through my mind as I was coming out the other side of the car wash. I looked up at my car window and I saw the beginning of little bubbles all over my windshield. When I got home, I got out my spray bottle, a razor blade, and my wife’s hair dryer. I was prepared to remove the window film. There was only one thing I had prepared: my wife got home early that day. She yelled at me not to touch the window film. She was already on the phone, ready to call the car dealership where we had the window film installed. She told me if I touched the window film she was going to sell all my tools, including the razor, spray bottle, and the hair dryer.
