They don't spray glue. They used either a special tinting liquid or simply a soap and water combination. It will clean off.

For everything I've had tinted so far, all they've used is a soap and water solution. Your plastic is fine.

Well, there is such a thing as tinting solution. It's not widely used since it's somewhat expensive when you can buy a bottle of baby soap for 1 dollar at walmart, and have enough solution for 20 cars .

Depends on your definition of large, and where it's at. Heat shrinks tint, so most bubbles will go away within a few weeks of high temperature weather. If they don't go out after a few weeks to a month, take it back and have them redo it if you paid a lot for it.

They won't redo it because it's illegal? Why would they tint it in the first place? Absolutely not, that is a horrible business practice. I don't see it so I don't know how bad it is, but bubbles are due to two things: overcut tint, or (more likely) the water wasn't pushed out hard enough. If they won't redo it, I'd consider reporting them to BBB because you paid for a service and if it looks like crap, you should get a discount or they should redo. Tint is extremely cheap for dealers, theres no reason they can't redo it in a timeslot they have available.

A warranty would protect it from fading or peeling. What you (might, post a pic!) have is a poorly installed tint job. There is a difference.
