What are the benefits of tinting my car’s windows?
Window film protects both you and your car from the damaging effects of
the sun. With the ever-increasing breakdown of our ozone layer,
dermatologists warn against over exposure to the sun. Polarized
sunglasses protect the eyes, sunblock protects the skin, and window
film protects the interior of your car.

total solar energy

damaging ultraviolet

2. What is window tint?
Answer: Window film is made up of alternating layers of a polyester
polymer and a laminating adhesive. Depending of the specific type of
film, the polyester layer may be dyed, metalized, coated with an ultra
violet inhibitor, or simply added for additional strength. Dyes are
added to give the film it's characteristic color. Metalized film is
high performance and gives the tint its color and greater heat
reduction capability.
3. What do I use to clean my tinted windows?
Answer: Warm water and a soft cloth. Never use a window cleaner unless
it is specifically formulated for use on aftermarket tinted windows.
4. Why should I choose one kind of tint over the other?
Answer: If you want the best
tint or a lifetime warranty and you are willing to pay a little extra,
then go with metallized film. Otherwise, it is fine to go with regular
tint.
5. How dark can I legally tint my windows?
Answer: Request a free
price quote and I'll send you a sample of the tint that can
legally be used for your automobile.
6. How long does it take to have tint installed?
Answer: Generally,
between 2-4 hours but you should expect to leave your vehicle for most
of the day to allow for clean up and unforeseen challenges that may pop
up.
7. Can it ever be removed?
Answer: Yes. As a tint professional I can remove tint if you ever want
to do that. For example, if you lease a car and want to remove it and
the end of the lease before returning it to the dealership.
8. Why is your warranty better than everyone else’s?
Answer: I perform the warranty work for you and I deal with the factory
instead of asking you to. My warranty covers labor and materials if the
tint fades, bubbles or falls off the glass for any reason. The warranty
does not cover scratches or tears. However, all of my customers receive
a 50% discount on tint replacement if this should ever occur.
9. Why do I see bubbled or purple tint on cars?
Answer: The tint is either very old or of poor quality. If our tint
ever bubbles, we will replace it at no additional cost to you.
10. Is window tint legal?
Answer: Yes, it is. There are limits though. Check out the tint

12. Can’t I just go to the store and buy some tint and do it
myself?
Answer: You’ll wish you didn’t. You’ll
end up extremely frustrated and you will have to pay more to have it
removed if it needs to be.
13. Will you tint my vehicle darker than the legal limit if I pay you
cash?
Answer: NO. Breaking the law can cost you a whole lot more than a fine.
If you are involved in an accident and you have illegal tint on your
car, you could be fined and/or charged with breaking the law. Insurance
companies can refuse to pay for any accident related expenses based
solely on the fact that you have illegal tint installed on your
vehicle. That could end up costing you $100,000.00 or more if someone
is seriously injured. Hospital bills can skyrocket very quickly.
14. Will the tint damage my rear defroster?
Answer: No it will not. We tint right over the top of it.
15. Will you come to my location?
Answer: No because a good tint job requires good lighting and a clean
enclosed environment.
16. Where are you located?
Answer: I tint only by appointment. My address is:
725
SE 166th Place
Portland, OR 97233
