They will clean them.... I think they use soapy water to put the tint on anyways.(NOT 100% SURE)

no they will not clean them...in fact since glass is made of sand anyways they're gonna throw sand all over your car and then bake your windows. they just tint the sand coating. naw jk yeah they'll clean it. otherwise your tints gonna look funy with bumps everywhere.

Don't clean them. Let the pros take care of it.

oh yeah, and when you clean your tinted windows dont use windex or shiz like that cause it will destroy the tint....just use warm water to wipe the tint down.

when they do my tints, they didn't even wash it, they just spray on the solution and put the tints on. Anyway it was a good job cause they cover the third brake light and the top part.

I think they will clean it. But clean the outside and inside of the window yourself if you want to feel better.
