FAQs

  • Window tint is a thin film applied to the windows of vehicles or buildings that reduces glare, blocks UV rays, and improves privacy.

  • High-quality window tint, when installed correctly, can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Factors such as exposure to sunlight and maintenance can affect longevity.

  • Typically, window tinting can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of windows and the type of tint being applied.

  • Yes, there are several types of window tint, including dyed, metallic, ceramic, and hybrid films. Each type offers different levels of heat rejection, UV protection, and visual appearance.

  • Yes, but window tint laws vary by state. It's essential to check your local regulations regarding the permissible tint levels for different windows.

  • To maintain your tinted windows, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. Use a gentle, non-ammonia-based cleaner and a soft cloth. Additionally, wait at least 30 days after installation before rolling down your windows to ensure the tint adheres properly.

  • Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. It chemically bonds with the factory paint to create a protective layer that offers benefits like enhanced shine, hydrophobic properties, and resistance to environmental contaminants.

  • Ceramic coatings are made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which creates a durable bond with the vehicle’s paint. This bond forms a protective layer that repels water, dirt, and grime, making the surface easier to clean and maintain.

  • Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over paint protection film. This combination offers an additional layer of protection and enhances the appearance of both the coating and the film.

  • Ceramic coatings offer longer-lasting protection compared to traditional waxes and sealants. While wax typically needs reapplication every few months, ceramic coatings can last several years, making them a more enduring option for vehicle protection.

  • No, ceramic coating is not maintenance-free. While it reduces the frequency of washing and makes cleaning easier, regular maintenance, such as routine washing and occasional inspections, is recommended to maximize longevity.

  • PPF is a transparent, durable, and flexible polyurethane film that is applied to the exterior surfaces of vehicles to protect against scratches, rock chips, and other environmental contaminants.

  • The lifespan of PPF can vary depending on factors such as installation quality, environmental exposure, and maintenance. Generally, a high-quality PPF product can last 5 to 10 years.

  • Many modern PPF products feature self-healing properties. This means that minor scratches or swirl marks can disappear with exposure to heat, such as from sunlight or warm water.

  • It is advisable to wait at least 48 hours after installation before washing your vehicle. After that, you can wash it normally; however, avoid aggressive washing methods that may damage the film.

  • To maintain PPF, regularly wash your vehicle with a pH-balanced soap and avoid abrasive materials. You may also want to apply a ceramic coating for additional protection and ease of maintenance.

  • The cost of PPF installation can vary based on factors such as the size of the vehicle, the type of film chosen, and the areas being covered. It’s best to get a quote from a certified installer for an accurate estimate.

  • Most reputable PPF manufacturers offer a warranty that covers yellowing, bubbling, or cracking under normal conditions. Be sure to check the specific warranty details before installation.
