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, carbon fiber, ceramic, coated with an ultra violet inhibitor, or simply added for additional strength. Dyes are added to give the film it’s characteristic color.

3. What do I use to clean my tinted windows?

Answer: Warm water or a glass cleaner called Sprayway and a soft cloth. Never use Windex.

4. How dark can I legally tint my windows?

 5. How long does it take to have tint installed?

Answer: Generally, about 4 hours depending on how many windows need to be tinted and to allow for clean up and dry time.

6. 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 at the end of the lease before returning it to the dealership.

7. 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 bubbles or falls off the glass for any reason. The warranty does not cover scratches, tears or any other damage. No film manufacturer provides a warranty for darker than legal limit installs.

8. 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.

9. Is window tint legal?

Answer: Yes, it is. There are limits though. Call shop for details.

10 How much does it cost?

Answer: Call or text for a quote.

11. 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.

12. Will the tint damage my rear defroster?

Answer: No it will not. We tint right over the top of it. Damage from water to any electronics left in your vehicle is not covered. If you must leave a cell phone, laptop or any other electronic device in the vehicle, you must let us know before you leave your vehicle. We are not responsible for water damage if you decide to leave them.

13. Will you come to my location?

Answer: No because a good tint job requires good lighting and a clean enclosed environment.

24023 NE Shea Lane #303 Wood Village, OR 97060

15. Do you remove door panels to tint the windows?

No, I never have. I don’t know how. And it would increase the time it takes to tint a vehicle.
