Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we get from customers, answered.

How long does window tint installation take?

Most full-vehicle installs run 2–3 hours. Larger vehicles, partial removals or commercial work can take longer — we'll always give you an exact ETA at booking.

How long should I wait before rolling my windows down?

We recommend leaving windows up for at least 3–5 days while the film fully cures. Curing time varies with weather — your installer will give you the exact timeline.

Does the tint go on the inside or outside of the glass?

Window film is professionally installed on the interior side of your glass for protection and longevity.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

All of our premium ceramic films are backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty against fading, peeling and bubbling.

Will tint affect my defroster lines or electronics?

No. Our films are installed using techniques that won't damage defroster lines, antennas, or any factory electronics.

How do I clean tinted windows?

Use any ammonia-free glass cleaner with a soft microfiber towel. Avoid abrasive cloths or paper towels.

Do I need to drop my vehicle off or wait for it?

You are welcome to do whichever works best for you. We have a waiting area with drinks, snacks, and WIFI if you would like to watch the process.

Our Most Common Choice

The shade we install most often

35%

Notes: IMPORTANT SUV/MULTIPURPOSE EXCEPTION: North Carolina law applies the 35% VLT minimum to the front-side windows of all vehicles, but the rear-side and rear-window VLT limits typically do NOT apply to SUVs, trucks, vans, and other multipurpose vehicles — those rear windows can usually be any darkness. Verify the exact statute (NC G.S. 20-127) before quoting, and confirm the customer's vehicle classification on the title. Rear-VLT is stored as NULL for multipurpose because no single numeric minimum applies.
