just make sure you let your tint settle, i wouldnt use the defroster either, when applied by a good shop it wont bubble, and if it ever bubbles down the line, hell it can be so cheap just do it again!
also, i have a kona blue and that thing does not show dirt at all lol, it shines from a distance but up close its dirty as can be

05xrunner is a detailing expert. I bet if his stang was a daily driver it would still look just as clean!

I'm probably screwed then :-(

I live in Oregon where it rains 99.9% of the time and my car is a daily driver that often hauls around two kids in the back. In other words my back window would be constantly fogged up if I didn't use the defroster.

When I bought my Mustang the previous owner had tinted they window, and the rear window was pretty bubbly.
But I got it retinted and it looks good as new. I say go for it and it it starts to bubble just get it re-done after a few years. Tint is just one of those things that has to be re-done ever so often (about 4 to 5 years)

I drove it all through last winter and it doesn't have a single bubble yet.

One of the cleanest looking, probable cause on wheels I've ever seen.
