WIndow Tinting

Why Tint My Windows - Glendora Ca

Tinted windows do a lot more than increase the likelihood that a car will have a movie star inside of it. They can preserve your car’s value, and even help to improve its performance. Because most cars don’t have free will… They can’t just change positions whenever the hot sun’s beating down on them.

They just have to sit there as their insides fry. Over time, this causes upholstery and leather to fade and weaken, making them more susceptible to frays and tears. But window tint can block as much as 99% of UV rays from infiltrating your car. It’s like a permanent layer of sunscreen for not only your car’s upholstery, but your own skin. It also cools your car by as much as 50%, meaning you’ll use less AC, so your engine won’t have to work as hard.

Remember, tinted windows can be a safety concern to police officers making traffic stops. Some states have laws restricting how dark your windows can be. But whether they’re dark enough to hide your valuables or just reducing the glare of the sun, all car tinted windows are harder to break.

That’s because the film is so strong that glass shards tend to remain in one piece, making it harder for thieves to break into your car to steal your stash of dragon eggs.

Ceramic Coating For Your Car - What It Is And How You Apply It

That's what they call limo tint. Now how do you know what's legal in your state? So in New York, apparently it's 70%. And Connecticut, or Nebraska, how do I know what my state has? Well, you can go to IWFA, the International Window Film Association, and you can look up the law chart, and you find out what is your state regulation.

Connecticut is a 35%. You could do 35% of light going through the window. Well, the first thing I do is I go over the car and make sure there's no scratches, dings, dents, and make sure the interior is good, the windows are good, there are no scratches.

And I also take a look at the defrost lines. Sometimes you'll see a little black mark on the defrost line. If that's cut, then the whole line won't work. You go over, if there are any stickers on the car, you want to ask them if they want to save that sticker, or if they just want to throw it out. What we recommend to do if customers want to remove the sticker. What we do is heat the sticker up. And I peel it off very slowly.

I want to try to save the adhesive on the sticker. So that's why you heat it. It gets the adhesive soft. I peel it off. And then I do a laminate on it. It's kind of like a clear film. And it sticks on the window by static cling. After we tint, we can put it back on? We can stick it right back on.

And it's got no adhesive on it, so it won't interfere. Then we ask the customer, what are they doing a tint for. Are they doing it for privacy, looks, just protection of the interior? We prep the car.

Now, when I first came to Rob, I wasn't exactly sure what tint level I wanted. We'll talk more about that. But he sort of pushed me in the right direction, and I'm really happy with what we chose. So the first step he's doing here is just quickly wiping down the window. When I say quickly, again, he's going to go crazy on cleaning it. Now here, he's putting baby powder.

And he lightly wipes it around the glass, just so there's a non-stick factor to it. And I'm not sure if it's unique to him, but it's pretty neat because the film that he's about to put on here is not going to stick. Now the next technique is to make an H. Do this with a wet paper towel and some soap. So what's going to happen is, as that plastic sheet lays on, meaning the film, lays on the glass, there's just going to be a little bit of sticky area just so it doesn't fall all over the place, or slide off the back of the car.
