Squeegees:

Squeegee is a tool that is used for many purposes, but in window tinting, they are used to remove water from under the film during the installation process. Squeegees come in a variety of shapes, sizes, densities and the type of squeegee you use depends on the size and shape of the car’s window. For instance, if your car has large flat-glass windows, you will need a wide squeegee. While for the smaller and oddly shaped windows, you will need a smaller and pointier squeegee.

Hard Cards:

As the name suggests, hard cards are small plastic cards that serve the same function as squeegees. Hard cards are used to press out stubborn bubbles or creases that normal rubber squeegees cannot handle. Hard cards are also available in a variety of shapes and hardness just like squeegees.
