Using the proper squeegeeing technique is essential for a successful installation of tints and decals on your vehicle. Whether you're applying tints or decals, the following step-by-step guide will help you achieve a smooth, bubble-free result:

Proper Squeegeeing Technique

Use a Squeegee:

• Hold the squeegee at a 45-degree angle.
• Gently press the squeegee and move it towards the edges in a sweeping motion.
• Exert even pressure to remove excess water and air bubbles.

Work from the Center Outward:

• Work from the center of the tint/edges towards the edges, moving in horizontal and vertical strokes.
• Continue to squeegee out any remaining water (Wet Method) and/or  bubbles.

Inspection: 

• Inspect the tint/ decal for any remaining bubbles or imperfections.
• If any bubbles remain, squeegee any bubbles to the nearest edge.  

General Tips:

Use Adequate Slip Solution ( (Wet Method Installation ONLY):

• Ensure the surface and tint/decal is sufficiently wet with the slip solution to allow the squeegee to glide smoothly without causing friction.

Apply Even Pressure:

• Maintain consistent and even pressure while using the squeegee to prevent uneven application and potential damage to the tint or decal.

Work Methodically:

• Work in small sections, gradually moving from the center towards the edges. This helps in managing air bubbles and achieving a smooth finish.

By following these squeegeeing techniques, you'll increase the likelihood of achieving a professional and flawless result when installing tints and decals on your vehicle.
