Window Tinting Frequently Asked Questions
How are car windows tinted?
First, the film is laid on the outside of the car’s windows and cut out to fit. Those pieces are then placed on a large piece of glass and trimmed before being installed on the inside of the windows.
How much does window tinting cost?
The price depends on which level of film is chosen, how many windows to cover and tint percentage. Pricing is provided on a car by car basis.
Is tinting your car windows worth it?
Window tint is great for preventing UV rays from coming through. It keeps the inside of your vehicle cooler on hot days and also helps reduce fading on the interior. It also provides privacy and helps reduce any glare while driving.
How long does it take to tint your car windows/How long to wait?
Tinting all the windows of your car can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Full-sized sedans take about 1 to 2 hours to install. If you only want to tint your two front doors, 30 to 40 minutes.
Can I tint my own windows?
Well you could try, but that is not recommended. Like anything in life, experience and practice is what makes a great installer. It’s better to take it to a professional in the beginning. It requires patience and a very steady hand.
Can you get a ticket for tinted windows?
Each state has their own laws. It’s recommended to research and know what those laws are before tinting.
Can you pass inspection with illegal tint?
No.
How long do tinted windows last?
The lifetime of window films are dependent on many factors including product type and quality, the climate, and the amount of direct sunlight your car is exposed to. Generally, automotive films are designed to last much longer than the typical owner will keep the vehicle, but the film we use will perform well past 10 years.
How long after having my windows tinted can I wash my car?
Since the tint is applied to the inside of the windows, we recommend waiting 24 hours before rolling the windows up or down.

If tint becomes damaged or scratched, it requires removal. Yes windows can be re-tinted, but the original installed tint must be removed clearly before new tint is applied.
What is polarized window tint?
Polarized is the name for “redirecting light”. Think of wearing polarized glasses. It lets in only certain light, however it can also cause a “rainbow effect” or a form of distortion.
Are tinted windows harder to break?
Yes, they are harder to break. Accidents can happen, but if a tinted window does become broken, shards of glass will remain attached to the film. So this can be a great safety factor as well.
Can window tint be removed? How?
Yes the tint can be removed. If any corner is easy to start with, slowly peel back the tint in one piece. After the tint is removed, spray an adhesive remover on the glass. Wipe off with paper towels. However, if you choose to remove the tint yourself and become frustrated, or the tint only removes in small pieces, and then you then decide to take it to a professional shop, you might be charged a hefty fee to complete the removal of remaining tint.
