Default Installed tint on all lights. Bubbles, creases, ripples go away after time?

I just installed Lamin-x tint on headlights, taillights, sidemarkers, reverse lights. It's the gun smoke color. Looks good but theres noticeable air bubbles half diameter of a dime. Theres also ripples, and creases, small scratches. The instructions and there site say they go away after several weeks because the tint is breathable. I just want to know if people did it on here had same problem and they do go away. I hope so...

Creases and scratches will stay. This is why I like using a stiff rubber squeegee and pulling the tint tight, rather than laying it on roughly and using a stiff card (ie. credit card)

ive tinted my own windows. The bubbles will disappear, but you need to use a rubber squeegee after it dries a little. The scratches will stay tho.

stevehl is right, my head and tail lights are also tinted, at first I was highly disappointed but after a couple of weeks you'll see a difference. but it will not all go away.
