Auto Window Tinting Peoria

Window Tint or Window Film is a product, typically made out of polyester, designed to coat the glass of your vehicle or home to filter, reflect, and/or absorb the heat and harmful rays of the sun.

With proper care and maintenance, clear bras should last the term length of the corresponding manufacturer’s warranty. We have seen a number of our customer’s cars a few years beyond the length of the warranty with the film still being in great shape. Again, it depends on how you maintenance it.
The current industry standard warranty period for clear bra is 5 years, and a few films offer 10 years of warranty coverage, depending on the product installed. Be sure to ask what the warranty period is and what the warranty covers before having any clear bra added to your vehicle.

• Please keep the windows rolled up for 24 hours after your appointment to allow the film time to cure.
• You initially may see some fogginess and/or streaking, as well as some little water beads. This is due to the film being installed with a water solution. Rest assured that it is just part of the drying process and it will all go away. The manufacturers state that it could take up to 30 days to dry out, but in our hot Arizona climate it will be dry within a week or even faster (depending on the current temperatures outside). The more you can leave the vehicle in the direct sun, the faster the window tint will cure and dry out.
• We will clean your windows after installing the window tint. Please don’t wash the interior of your windows for approx. 72 hours. This will allow time for the adhesive to cure. After that, you can use a soft towel (microfiber is best) and water.

• Please do not wash your vehicle for 72 hours after the installation. We will clean the areas of your vehicle that we work on before giving it back to you so that you won’t have the urge to wash it right away.
• Like tint, paint protection films are installed with a water solution, and you may initially see some small water beads under the film. These are part of the drying process and they will go away within 30 days of the installation (or faster).
• High pressure spraying the area where the clear bra is installed is not recommended. This can cause the edge of the film to lift or tear, and potentially allow dirt to collect on the adhesive, which will leave an uneven edge or a dirty spot in the film which could lead to that piece of film needing to be replaced. High pressure spray damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Please refer to the care instructions on the warranty card given to you.  We are always happy to answer any additional questions you have regarding caring for your paint protection film.

The process varies from vehicle to vehicle. The average amount of time is 2-3 hours. The time frame needed depends on the vehicle year/make/model, and the cleanliness of the windows and seals.

Tint is formed and cut to fit each window on the exterior of the vehicle, and is then installed to the interior side of the glass.

Adding tint to your vehicle will NOT cause your defroster to stop working.

Window tint can be removed if you no longer wish for it to be there.

Purpling and bubbling are the result of window tint failure. Low quality window tint/films tend to fail the quickest. When this happens, it creates poor visibility when driving and can make it very dangerous for some drivers. Failing window film should be removed at first sign of product failure. Consumer Tip: Be sure to get a film with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty and ask what the warranty actually covers (short term warranties are not enough!). The most important part – KEEP THE WARRANTY CARD! This will allow for you to have the tint removed and replaced (in the case of film failure) at the manufacturer’s expense, not yours.

There are a number of reasons why a clear bra can turn yellow. Yellowing is most commonly caused by lack of material maintenance, film failure, certain climate conditions, or solvents that contaminate or stain the material. Although we don’t see it often, it does happen. A high quality clear bra product will be backed by the manufacturer against turning yellow. Be sure you get a manufacturer’s warranty card issued at the time of install, and most importantly – KEEP THE WARRANTY CARD. The current industry standard warranty period for clear bra is 5 years, and a few films offer 10 years of warranty coverage, depending on the product installed. Be sure to ask what the warranty period is and what the warranty covers before having any clear bra added to your vehicle.

Clear bra material can be applied to any painted surface. It is not recommended for chrome, un-painted plastics, certain matte-finishes, or acrylic surfaces. Always ask your installation company about what can be covered on your specific vehicle.

Most late model cars and trucks have antennas and censors located on the glass surfaces. Older technology metallized films will cause disruption to these signals, creating issues within the electronic features such as radios and GPS. To avoid this from happening, manufacturers offer frequency friendly films. Nano technology films are an excellent choice and are safe to use on late model cars. They contain zero metal, yet still offer high heat rejection. When in doubt, an experienced tint professional can help you choose a product that will be safe to use on your specific vehicle.

Adding window tint to your auto or home provides UV protection, heat rejection, and sometimes privacy or security depending on the product that is used.

35% visible light transmission on your front doors, and any shade on the rear doors and rear window – as long as you have side view mirrors on your car.

You cannot get a ticket in another state if you are within the legal limit for the state that your car is registered to. If your tint is NOT legal in your home state, then yes, you are able to be ticketed in any other state as well.

Any glass cleaner works well, just be sure to use a soft cloth. Dry or dirty towels may scratch the tint and cause damage to the film.
