Hazy huber optik?

kyoshozx · 07-16-2010, 11:27 PM

My rear windshield started developing some oil hazy look to it. At first i thought it was dirty, but it doesn't seem to be the case, I tried cleaning both inside and outside.

Included picture but sorry crappy camera phone. The haze looks like an oily residue but cleaned both inside and outside using invisible glass.

Any sugguestions on what it maybe ? Or it's the tint itself?

I believe it is called "ghosting" and apparently happens as a result of using a heat gun on Huper Optik film. I opted for another type of film because the installer warned me that this may happen on the rear window with the Huper.

hmm that is strange because I've had the tint since 08 and it just started showing up now? Maybe from sunlight?

That happened to my Huper after two years. Went with Pinnacle Formula One this time around, much happier with the results.
