Evaporation is the solution for this and hence, takes it's time. The rainbowish pattern is caused by the shampoo and water combination between the tint and glass. Once evaporated, the soapy solution disappears giving a clean and clear glass effect.

mag 1 year na tong stripes ko sir.. rainbow talaga parang film..

Finchy, you had 3M installed? what shade? Normally 3M heals less than a week.

LAcars, thanks for your explanation. i guess i'll just have to wait until the tint dries out. i've had it for about a month now, and the view does get distracting. can you be more specific when you say that it takes months to heal? i also notice that i don't get that rainbow effect/glare on my door and rear glass, only on my windshield. how could this be?

less curvature, less "prism" effect.

i think in some tints meron talaga yung rainbow effects pag natamaan ng ilaw, like for solar gard (magic dark and medium) ganon sya talaga.

im thinking of putting rike cool also. this characteristic, would you say that it bothers you enough that it distracts you from driving safely? or is it something that you just notice, and maybe you'll get used to it in time? tia for your comments

maybe it's because of the sputtered metal that's embedded into the tint (if it has sputtered metal).
