You just don't want the tint to slide or bubble. As long as you don't see any imperfections on the tint, they will be fine. Just don't use windex to clean it!

Yeah you'll be fine. After a day it already holding on. It ain't goin no where. Just keep them up for the remainder of the week and give it a little sun. And don't smoke in your car cause you might accidentally hit the tint with the cherry and mess it up. i.e.- me

Just leave it parked for a few days if you can and try not to touch it. If you already wiped it with water once, then that's cool. Just let it sit for insurance. You can always give it a good cleaning later when you know all is safe.

you are not supposed to for 3-5 days

i always do 5 to be on the safe side.

i would check the corners to make sure there not peeling, or be the gasket (depending if they tucked it down or not) to make sure ther not peeling

another reason why you wait for a good time where you wont have to drive your car that much within 5 days
