Frequently Asked Questions
How long does 3M 2080 vinyl wrap last?
3M 2080 series films have a warranty of up to 8 years*, depending on the specific film, climate zone, and vertical/horizontal exposure. The expected lifespan is typically 5 to 7 years* with proper care and maintenance.
What is the difference between 3M 2080 and 1080 series?
The 2080 series is more conformable and stretchable, making it easier to install on complex curves. Select gloss films in the 2080 series also feature a protective film layer that reduces surface impressions and scratches during installation.
Can I install 3M 2080 myself?
While professional installation is recommended for the best results, experienced DIY installers can achieve a quality application. The film’s air-release technology helps to reduce bubbles, but patience and proper technique are required.
How do I clean and maintain my vinyl wrap?
Hand washing with a mild detergent and water is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, as they can damage the film. For satin and matte finishes, use a cleaner specifically designed for those surfaces to avoid creating a glossy appearance.
Will the vinyl wrap damage my car's original paint?
When applied to OEM factory-cured paint, 3M 2080 film will not damage the paint upon removal. In fact, it helps to protect the paint from minor scratches, UV exposure, and other environmental elements.

Colors of Tint Film
Window tint films are available in a range of colors to suit various aesthetic preferences and functional needs. The most common tint colors are charcoal, black, and gray, which offer a neutral look that complements any vehicle color, providing good heat rejection and privacy while maintaining visibility.
These shades are widely chosen for their classic appearance and practical benefits.
In addition to the standard colors, there are more exotic tint options that appeal to vehicle owners looking for customization and unique style. These include blue, green, gold, and bronze tints, which can enhance the exterior look of a vehicle with a distinctive and personalized touch. These colors can vary in their light transmission levels and heat rejection properties, often chosen more for their style rather than performance.
Furthermore, there are reflective or mirror-like tints that provide a high level of privacy and excellent heat rejection by reflecting sunlight away from the vehicle. This type of tint can have a more aggressive, high-tech look. There are also gradient tints, which transition from one color at the top to another at the bottom, offering both style and function by providing sunlight gradient control.
For those interested in even more specialized options, there are chameleon tints, which change color depending on the angle of light and viewing angle, and holographic tints that create a prismatic effect under sunlight. These exotic varieties are less common and can be more costly, but they provide a unique aesthetic that can set a vehicle apart from the rest.
Automotive Tint Darkness
Window tint films are classified by the amount of light they allow in, by percentage. A 5% tint is much darker - and almost universally illegal on passenger vehicles - than a 50% tint. Factory tints on rear windows tend to be in the 50-70% range, so buying something on the lighter side might not actually accomplish what you are going for.
State laws regarding window tint are quite clear, and law enforcement officers don't always have a sense of humor about illegal tint. Know the laws governing car modifications in your area. If you are going to exceed the legal darkness level, know the potential consequences of your decisions.
What is the Difference Between Ceramic and Nano Ceramic Tint?
If you have chosen a pre-cut tint, Rtint offers several added benefits. For starters, Rvinyl is the only manufacturer that warranties DIY kits. Traditionally, the DIY route led you straight into "you break it you bought it" territory. We offer you the peace of mind and confidence to tackle the job on your own, knowing that the manufacturer won't blame every defect on your inexperienced craftsmanship. If something goes wrong and it was the tint kit's fault, Rtint will make it right.
Additionally, Rvinyl window tint kits have discounted replacement parts, so you do not need to purchase an entire kit if you make a mistake. This will also help to build your confidence level as you tackle such a daunting project. Our kits are shipped in crush-proof tubes and boxes. Creases ruin tint kits and there's no way to salvage the job, so we make sure your tint kit will arrive safely every time.
A successful do-it-yourself project will instill a tremendous amount of pride in yourself and your vehicle knowing you have accomplished a difficult task, and the do-it-yourself approach will give you complete control over the quality of the materials used for your car. If you take it to a shop and have a professional do the work, they aren't likely to give you the full range of choices available. They'll use the materials they have on hand, and you can't be sure they are sitting on the correct side of the price-quality trade-off.
With our wide variety of tint levels and kit options, Rvinyl is sure to have a kit to suit your needs. If we don't offer a tint kit for your make and model, you can craft your window tint from whole sheets. Browse our huge selection of window tint above.
