Window Tint

Florida law allows 28% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on front side windows, and 15% VLT on rear side and back windows. The front windshield can have a non-reflective tint strip along the top above the AS-1 line. We always ensure your tint meets legal requirements while maximizing heat rejection and UV protection.

We offer three tiers of nano-ceramic window film: Nano Ceramic Pro (up to 96% infrared heat rejection), Nano Ceramic Plus (up to 85% heat rejection), and Nano Ceramic (up to 75% heat rejection). All three options block 99% of UV rays and won't interfere with electronic signals. Our team will help you choose the right level based on your needs and budget.

Most vehicles take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity. Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks may take 3-5 hours. We recommend allowing a full day for the installation and initial curing period.

We recommend waiting 3-5 days before rolling down your windows to allow the adhesive to fully cure. In humid Florida weather, it may take slightly longer. You may notice small water bubbles during this period—this is normal and they will disappear as the film cures.

Quality nano-ceramic films are designed to maintain excellent visibility in low-light conditions. We recommend lighter tints (35-50% VLT) for drivers who frequently drive at night. During your consultation, we'll help you choose the right darkness level for your driving habits.

Our nano-ceramic window films do not contain metal, so they won't interfere with GPS, cellular, radio, or Bluetooth signals. Some older metallic films can cause interference, which is why we exclusively use nano-ceramic technology.

Our premium ceramic window films come with a lifetime warranty and typically last 15-20+ years with proper care. The film won't fade, bubble, or peel when professionally installed. We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty.

Yes, we offer professional tint removal services. Old, bubbling, or purple-faded tint must be completely removed before new film can be applied. Removal typically adds 1-2 hours to the installation time depending on the condition of the old film.

Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film is a clear, thermoplastic urethane film applied to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It's virtually invisible and protects against rock chips, scratches, bug splatter, bird droppings, and UV damage. Think of it as an invisible armor for your paint.

Yes! Our premium PPF features self-healing technology. Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear when exposed to heat—either from the sun, warm water, or a heat gun. This keeps your film looking new for years without buffing or polishing.

Quality PPF typically lasts 7-10 years with proper care. Our films come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and staining. The actual lifespan depends on exposure conditions and maintenance.

Yes, PPF can be applied to any vehicle regardless of age or color. We use computer-cut patterns for precise fitment on most makes and models. For custom or exotic vehicles, we can create custom templates for perfect coverage.

High-quality PPF is virtually invisible when properly installed. It actually enhances your paint's gloss and depth. We also offer matte/satin PPF for vehicles with matte finishes, and gloss PPF can be applied over matte paint to create a glossy look.

At minimum, we recommend protecting the full front end: hood, front bumper, fenders, mirrors, and headlights. These areas receive the most impact from road debris. For maximum protection, consider adding rocker panels, A-pillars, door edges, and rear bumper.

PPF is low-maintenance. Wash your vehicle normally with pH-neutral car soap. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes. You can wax or apply ceramic coating over PPF for additional gloss and hydrophobic properties. Avoid pressure washing directly at film edges.

Yes, professionally installed PPF can be safely removed without damaging your factory paint. In fact, your paint will be in pristine condition underneath—exactly as it was when the film was applied. This makes PPF excellent for preserving resale value.

Installation time varies by coverage: Partial front (hood, fenders, mirrors) takes 4-6 hours. Full front end takes 1-2 days. Full vehicle coverage takes 3-5 days. We never rush installations to ensure perfect, bubble-free results.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle's paint, creating a permanent or semi-permanent protective layer. It provides exceptional gloss, hydrophobic properties (water beading), UV protection, and chemical resistance far superior to traditional wax or sealants.

Depending on the product and maintenance, ceramic coatings last 1-5+ years. Our 1-year coating is entry-level protection, 3-year coating is our most popular for daily drivers, and 5-year coating is our premium option for enthusiasts. Professional-grade coatings can last even longer with proper care.

Absolutely. Ceramic coating reduces maintenance time and costs, protects against UV damage and oxidation, makes washing easier, and maintains your vehicle's resale value. Over 3-5 years, you'll spend less on waxing, polishing, and paint correction than the cost of a quality ceramic coating.

Ceramic coating adds a hard, protective layer that provides some scratch resistance, but it's not scratch-proof. It protects against light swirl marks and wash scratches. For true scratch and rock chip protection, we recommend combining ceramic coating with PPF on high-impact areas.

Yes! We highly recommend applying ceramic coating over PPF. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: physical protection from PPF and the hydrophobic, self-cleaning properties of ceramic coating. It also makes the PPF easier to clean and maintain.

Proper preparation is crucial. Our process includes: thorough hand wash, clay bar decontamination, iron and tar removal, paint correction (removing swirls and scratches), IPA wipe-down, and finally ceramic coating application. Skipping these steps leads to coating failure.

Wash every 2 weeks with pH-neutral soap using the two-bucket method. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes. Use a ceramic coating maintenance spray every few months. Annual inspections help identify areas that may need touch-up. Avoid letting contaminants sit on the surface for extended periods.

Yes! We offer ceramic coating for wheels (makes brake dust removal easy), glass (improves visibility in rain), plastic trim (prevents fading), and leather interiors (stain protection). A full vehicle ceramic package protects every surface.

A full ceramic coating installation typically takes 2-3 days. Day 1 involves washing, decontamination, and paint correction. Day 2 is coating application. Day 3 allows for proper curing before the vehicle is returned. Rush jobs compromise quality—we never cut corners.

Professional-grade ceramic coatings have higher SiO2 concentrations, longer durability, and require controlled application conditions. DIY products are consumer-friendly but offer 6-12 months of protection versus 3-5+ years for professional coatings. Professional installation also includes paint correction and proper surface preparation.
