Addressing blemishes after installing tints
Had XPEL tints recently installed for my car and unfortunately the place I had them installed at was a very mediocre experience. I had to have the tints reinstalled multiple times within the span of the last 4 weeks as there were scratches and bubbles after each installation/correction
Each time, I would receive the car with overspray, and streaks all over the interior of my car doors. While not being the end of the world, I recently noticed that there was a small piece of adhesive that stuck to my front leather seats and am having a hard time removing it. I also noticed that on one of the windows, the interior plastic window trim molding has started to fade from black to white. Any recommendations or advices to address these 2 problems?

I'd bring it up with the shop doing the work, but with multiple shops involved, how can you attribute any damage to the particular shop? I'd think it would be difficult to have "them" address the issue if not sure it was "them."
- a carpet cleaner like Folex - trim cleaner/conditioner/restorer - https://www.autogeek.net/solution-fi...orer-12oz.html - leather cleaner/conditioner to soften the foreign material. unless it's a scratch

First time getting tints ever, and when I had the tints installed initially, there were bubbles/lint dust so had to have them corrected within warranty.. 3x times… each time I had the windows corrected, one of the windows would have an issue with it so I would have to go back. And now I have to go again for my passenger side window |

Warm weather is the best time for tint installation as the heat can help minimize/dry any bubbles.
Sounds like a lot of hassle you're dealing with - hope they came highly recommended & will do something to make you happy!
