What is the difference between mono-carbon and ceramic window films?

The Mono-carbon is more of a basic film made from carbon alone. It’s decent and won’t fade. The ceramic film has a much higher level of heat rejection as it has an actual layer of ceramic in it which the mono-carbon does not. For just a few dollars more you get a much higher quality of film that is far more comfortable in the hot sun!

How long will tinting last?

A quality film will outlast the car in most instances. We have seen tint jobs that still look good 20 years after being installed!

What is privacy glass?

Privacy Glass is a term used in the automotive industry usually referring to the rear windows on a truck, van, or S.U.V. and it can also just mean dark film that is hard to see into.

Will the film scratch from being rolled up and down?

The film will not scratch from normal usage like being rolled up and down. The only time we see a problem with this is when sand or grit gets stuck in the gasket or if the mechanism controlling the window gets damaged but this is rare.

Will tinting keep my car cool?

Window tinting will help your air conditioning run more efficiently and keep it cooler inside but it’s important to know that when you come out to your car after it’s been sitting in the sun it will still be hot inside till the AC does its job.

Is there anything I should know after the windows are finished?

Any care instructions?Yes, you want to wait before rolling the windows down, generally 3 days. No need to clean the windows for at least 3 days and when you do a small spritz of cleaner and a clean microfiber will do the job. Don’t bump it with anything that can puncture the film like keys or tools and don’t let the seat belt hit the glass when you remove it because it can make little holes in the film.

Will the tinting look good on my car?

Tinting makes any car look better without a question!
