How to Install Solar Control Superior


Solar Control Superior is a high-quality window film designed to block ultraviolet light while not disturbing the signals required by GPS, cellular or satellite devices used in a vehicle. In addition to rejecting UV rays, Solar Control Superior blocks some visible light, making the car's cabin more comfortable for passengers and the driver. Professional installation is strongly recommended, support documentation is available providing insight on how to properly install Solar Control Superior.

  1.  Prepare the water required for the installation process. Ensure a source of purified or filtered water is available, as chemicals in the water can impact the adhesiveness of the film and make installation more difficult.
  2.  Clean all of the windows using a solution of one part rubbing alcohol for every three parts of water. Use 400 grit sanding paper or a razor blade to gently remove the "dot matrix" pattern often found on vehicle windows, as this pattern can prevent proper adhesion of the film. Never apply the razor or sandpaper directly to the glass, doing this will damage the glass.
  3.  Mix soap and water for use as an application solution. Ensure the soap and water mixture to be used in applying the film to the vehicle's windows is always the identical, as too much soap can impact the adhesiveness of the film. It is recommended a mild soap like baby shampoo be used in a fixed ratio of soap to water throughout the process.
  4. Place the Solar Control Superior film on the windows with enough solution so the film can be positioned. Do not use so much solution it causes the film to slide down the window. Experiment to find the proper amount of solution, as too much can lead to extended drying times and mist in the film.
  5. Start at the center top of the film with the squeegee and push all of the solution to the corners of the window using steady strokes with solid firm pressure. The film can be straightened by lightly pulling on the corners before going over it again with the squeegee.
