tinted yesterday with solar gard quantum, cloudy look, tons of tiny bubbles?

Hello. I recently purchased a 2011 Infiniti FX35 Solar Gard Quantum 28 pre-cut tint kit for front windows of my suv. I installed the film during warm weather yesterday. At first the job looked great, no bubbles, no creases, super clear. I have been tinting windows for a long time, and worked with films of ASWF Excel, ebay film, and couple other brands, even GILA =) I didn't see so many tiny bubbles, only a little amount in the first 3-4 days. I decided to go with Solar Gard, because of it's awesome look and quality. This is my first time using Solar Gard films! A while ago, my Toyota was professioanly tinted with HP supreme in a tint shop and the first few days it had cloudy look, and many tiny bubbles in the center of the glass. In a month it all went away =) Today in the morning, I noticed that my window has a cloudy look, and tons, tons of tiny (very small sized, with the outline of bubble under tint) bubbles all over my two front windows. They don't look like air bubbles. When I was installing, I squeeged with my blue max 2-3 times hard to get all the moisture out, and all edges too, weather was at it's best. I used my typical solution of water and j and j baby shampoo, always worked great throughout my experience, no problems. Is this normal for my film to do that? I know that it is a metalized film, and will dry out longer. But is it normal for Solar Gard to do that (maybe adhesive)??? Will this go away?

    Leave it out in the Sun for the next few days and see if the moisture evaporates. The Quantum has more metal in it than the films you mentioned so it will naturally take longer to cure.

    This question is so convoluted, I cannot make any sense of it. You mention that you did it, then go on to say you had it professionally done on your Toyota. Then you go rambling on about different manufacturers of tint film.

    Dude, quit rambling about all the tint brands, and such. GET TO THE QUESTION!! Ever think of asking a professional? Why didn't you have a professional do it in the first place?

    You did not use the right solution when putting it on.It's permanent and must be redone with new sheets.
