window tinting

ive finnally made up my mind to spend the money on window tinting, however the shop i plan on doing it at offers 3m life time warranty against bubbling and peeling for 190 installed, however for $70 more i can get lifetime warrany on fadeing, is this necessary also im doing 50% on the passanger and driver side windows but i cant make up my mind on what to do on the back 3, thanks for any comments/advice

DO NOT clean it with windex or other glass cleaner. the chemical with fade if not ruin your tint after time. use warm soapy water. And of you take it to a Car cleaner tell them not to do the inside of your windows (meaning the tint).

I don't think the Life time warrently is nessisary. But if you've got the extra $ do it. You can never be too safe
