Tint windows before or after detail?

[Harrybob]

Looking at getting my front windows tinted and also getting the car detailed soon as well and wanted peoples opinions on which order I should do the two?

Well if you want to take photos of the car once it's detailed, you would want your tint already done too right?

+1 on Kieran's comment...

Tints first and then detail... will save on having to do two photo shoots if anything

[Harrybob]

Not really looking to do any photoshoots, thinking more along the lines of having the windows really clean in preparation for the tinting

Unless you plan on tinting your windows at the same place it's being detailed....
The windows have to be cleaned a minute or so before the tint is put on.

Definitely tint first.

Depending on the weather at the time, wait 2-4 weeks for the tint to completely settle and all the moisture to absorb through the tint then get her detailed.

Yes, can't wash the inside of your windows for 3-4 weeks after the tinting and can't wind down windows for 48 hours. When they tint it they spray over the windows just before applying the tint.

Well the tinters are probably going to leave various prints and marks on your trims so best to tint first and have interior detailed after.

Thanks guys, looks like tinting will be done first.
