About window tint
Window tint is a film applied to your glass to reject heat and UV, cut glare, and add privacy. Modern ceramic tints block a large share of infrared heat and 99% of UV without the signal interference or purple fading of old dyed films — keeping the cabin cooler and protecting your interior and skin.
Window Tint in San Diego: FAQ
What's the difference between carbon and ceramic tint?
Carbon film is fade-resistant and looks great; ceramic film adds top-tier infrared heat rejection and clarity, and is the premium choice for comfort.
How dark can I legally tint?
Legal limits vary by state and by window. A reputable installer will keep you compliant — ask for your state's front, rear, and windshield limits.
How long does tint take to cure?
Keep windows up for a few days; full cure takes several days to a couple weeks depending on climate, and light haze during that time is normal.
Will tint bubble or turn purple?
Cheap dyed film can; quality carbon and ceramic films are warrantied against bubbling, peeling, and color change.
