The sun shines directly on your skin and all the parts of the car, i.e. steering wheel, seats and gear are very hot. The best thing to do in this situation is to smoke the car window. By doing this, you are doing a great favor to the car passengers and yourself.
The benefits of smoked car glass
As we said before, the sun has less contact with your skin and it receives less heat inside the car compartment.
Less UV rays come into contact with you and your skin is protected.
Your security and privacy are protected. (This work may not be in the nature of many people, but for many others, it is important and they do not want to be seen from the outside.)
Seat covers and other car parts rot later.
The windows are somewhat shockproof.
The price of a car with smoked glass is higher than the price of the same car with normal glass.
The appearance of the car is changed with this work and it becomes more stylish in the opinion of many.
So it can be concluded that this work is rational for both the car and the passengers of the car. By smoking the car window, even if you ever decide to sell the car, you will make a profit.
Smoking the car glass
Each country may have its own rules in this regard, because with this, the events inside the car cannot be seen.
In Iran, smoke stickers should be applied only on the side windows of the car. Be aware that if you smoke the rear window of the car, you will not be given a technical inspection certificate. (Of course, if the rear and front windows of the car are factory-smoked, there is no problem. This is about when you do it yourself.)

Fumigation in the factory
Smoking by hand
1. Smoking the car glass in the factory
This is an option that is done at the factory if the driver wants it. For this, the standards that we talked about earlier have been defined. Like, how much the windows can be smoked so the police can see the occupants, or how much it's not dangerous to drive and get a MOT. Factories smoke glass to a small percentage.
2. Smoking the car glass manually
The driver himself, or the car repairer, do this with smoke stickers. To do this, it is necessary to follow the standards. Because many drivers are fined by involving too much personal taste and excessive smoke in the windows.
Important Tips on Smoking Car Winds
Be careful when measuring the label. The label should not be measured to the edges of the glass. Keep a distance of 5 to 10 mm. In this way, the glasses last longer.
After gluing, it is better not to lower the car windows for a day or two so that the stickers stick well.
If your car is luxurious and has a beautiful cabin, it is better to use pale stickers.
UV labels are more expensive than other labels because they prevent the harmful rays of the sun from entering.
Steps to glue the car's smoky glass
Clean the windows well from the outside.
Clean the inside of the glass well. If a stain remains on the glass at this stage, these stains will remain under the label.
Wet the outer surface of the glass and then measure the smoke label from the outside.
Be careful to measure correctly.
With the help of a hair dryer, reduce the collected parts.
After cutting the label to size, wet the inner surface of the glass well.
There is a colorless layer in the smoke label. Remove it and paste the layer inside the glass. Use a spatula to make the label smooth and free from bubbles.
The upper edge of the label should be 5-10 mm away from the glass.
When you want to install the lower edge, make sure that the label is lower than the window rubber.
