Yes, we typically ask for three days before you restart normal use of your windows.

Yes, we use an industrial steamer to remove window films.

The color of factory privacy glass can normally be matched pretty well.

It is extremely rare for window films to be affected by or have an effect on defrost lines.

Yes, everything we do is in our facility so we can ensure the quality of the work.

The two front windows in trucks, vans, and SUVs should be no darker than 35%. Cars should be no darker than 35%. The tint on a windshield cannot extend more than 5 inches below the top of the windshield or below the AS1 line of the windshield, whichever is longer.

With the waiver from the state of North Carolina you can have the front match the rear as low as 20%.

Yes, the privacy glass or “tint” can be made darker in trucks, vans, and SUVs. It’s actually helpful because privacy glass has little to no UV protection or heat rejection.

Glass cleaner with NO AMONIA should be used to clean window tint. The towels should be soft and absorbent. We like terry cloth or microfiber towels.

Paint protection film (PPF) is a thin, transparent layer of urethane that protects a vehicle’s paint from damage. It’s also known as clear bra, clear film, or clear paint film.

PPF protects against scratches, stone chips, bug splatters, UV rays, and other damage.

It is not recommended to add PPF over ceramic coatings. The material doesn’t bond properly and can easily peel off in areas leaving an unsightly mess and wasting money.

No, paint protection film (PPF) does not damage paint if it’s applied correctly by a professional. However, removing the film incorrectly can damage the paint. 

Paint protection film (PPF) is applied to surfaces by cutting it to fit the vehicle’s surface, usually with a plotter, then adhering it with a combination of slip and tac solution. The process involves multiple steps, including cleaning the vehicle, applying a slip solution, and using a squeegee to remove excess liquid. 

To maximize protection, you can apply (PPF) to the most vulnerable areas of your vehicle, typically including the front bumper, hood, fenders, headlights, side mirrors, door edges, as these areas are most susceptible to rock chips, debris, and scratches from everyday driving. 

Wash your car regularly, especially after it’s been exposed to dirt, rain, or bird droppings.  Use a pH-neutral car wash soap designed for automotive surfaces. Apply the soapy water gently with a clean microfiber or similar thick mitt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, and harsh solvents. These can stain, discolor, or peel the film. Waxing or polishing can be done, however Kerosene or Naphtha in over 5% concentration should be avoided as they can break down the film prematurely. Also avoid waxes that come with dyes. Wash the film in a linear motion to reduce the risk of damage. Use a large, thick, plush microfiber towel to dry the film. Remove dirt and dead bugs immediately to prevent permanent stains. Soak hard-to-clean spots with soap for a few minutes. 

Avoid automatic car washes: Automatic car washes use brushes that can scratch or damage the film.
