Tinting
The area’s #1 choice for detailing is now the best choice for high-quality window tinting services
Besides a ceramic coating, the most important upgrade you can make to your car is window film. The automotive window tinting film we use blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays so your vehicle’s interior doesn’t fade, your passengers won’t overheat, and road trips won’t include sunburns.
We also offer a lifetime warranty on our window film – no bubbling, discoloration, or peeling.
- UV protection: Our tint on your windows can block up to 99% of the sun’s UV rays, keeping you protected while driving.
- Interior preservation: UV rays can cause fading on your fabric and leather, creating a more worn look.
- Protection When windows break, the tint film helps keep the glass pieces together, increasing your safety in the event of an accident.
- Increased privacy: Window tints give added privacy and security for you and your passengers.
- Stay Cooler: Ceramic tint helps keep the inside of your car cooler, especially during the summer. Less air use means less gas use!
- Decreased Sund Glare: The tint decreases the glare from the sun, making for a safer driving experience.
“…window glass blocks most UVB rays, the ones that can burn you, but UVA rays still get through. Window film [is] capable of blocking up to 99 percent of UV radiation.” -Skin Cancer Foundation

Before Your Window Tinting Appointment
- For the best window film application result, we recommend that you wash your vehicle and remove personal items from the areas we’re working in
- When possible, please remove all car seat restraint systems
- Decide on the shade of your tint; don’t worry – we can help!
After Installation of your Window Tint
- KEEP WINDOWS UP: Do not roll down your windows for three days after your window film application has been completed
- DO NOT WASH THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE GLASS: Do not wash or rub the interior side of the glass where the film is applied for the required seven-day period of drying time During this time, lots of sunshine is the fastest curing solution
- DRYING PERIOD APPEARANCE: Throughout the duration of the seven-day drying period, your window film will go through many changes. You may see a haziness or spotty drying appearance when viewing the treated glass from the exterior and sometimes the interior of your vehicle.
