Step 2: Glass Cleaning & Surface Prep

Every window is thoroughly cleaned inside and out to remove dust, fingerprints and any residue from previous films. A spotless surface is essential for a bubble-free, long-lasting tint job.

Step 3: Precision Film Cutting

Using computer-cut templates customized to your vehicle's exact make and model, we shape the tint film to match every curve and contour: no exposed edges, no peeling, no overlap.

Step 4: Professional Tint Application

We carefully apply the film to the inside of each window using a slip solution, then squeegee out every air bubble and trapped moisture for a clean, factory-grade finish.

Step 5: Curing & Drying

Freshly applied tint needs time to bond with the glass. We let you know how long to wait before rolling your windows down։ ceramic window tint cure time typically ranges from 3 to 7 days depending on weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a few questions? Take a look at our frequently asked questions to find out a bit more about our services.

The California window tint law (CVC Section 26708) sets the tint limit in California based on Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Front side windows must allow at least 70% VLT. For sedans, all windows except the windshield must meet this 70% VLT limit. For SUVs, trucks and vans, only the front side windows must meet 70% VLT: the rear side windows and rear window can be any darkness. The windshield can only have a non-reflective tint strip on the top 4 inches.

15 percent tint and 20% tint are only legal on the rear side windows and rear window of SUVs, vans and trucks. They are NOT legal on sedans or on the front side windows of any vehicle in California. Under California front window tint law, all front side windows must allow 70% VLT or more. Breaking this rule can result in a fix-it ticket costing up to $197 plus tint removal costs.

Yes, but only the top 4 inches of the windshield can be tinted, and the film must be non-reflective. Full windshield tint in California is illegal unless you have a medical exemption signed by a licensed physician and filed with the CHP. Many drivers choose a clear ceramic film like XPEL PRIME XR or 3M Crystalline for the full windshield, which blocks heat and UV without darkening the glass.

The best window tint brands include XPEL, 3M, LLumar and Suntek. For ceramic tint specifically, XPEL PRIME XR Plus, 3M Crystalline and LLumar CTX are the top performers. The best ceramic tint for cars uses nonmetallic nano-ceramic particles that block up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays without interfering with your phone, GPS or radio signals.

XPEL and 3M are both elite brands. XPEL PRIME XR Plus delivers outstanding heat rejection, a lifetime warranty and a crystal-clear look. 3M Crystalline is famous for near-black levels of heat rejection while staying nearly transparent. For drivers who want a darker, sportier finish at a more affordable price point, XPEL Carbon tint is also a great option. We'll help you compare XPEL vs 3M window tint based on your vehicle, budget and driving needs.

LLumar vs XPEL really comes down to your priorities. LLumar CTX offers excellent ceramic performance at a competitive price and is widely available. XPEL PRIME XR Plus typically delivers slightly higher infrared heat rejection numbers and includes a strong lifetime warranty. Both are premium choices: we carry both and can show you side-by-side performance specs.

BF Film is a lesser-known ceramic tint brand that has gained popularity for offering ceramic performance at a budget-friendly price. However, when comparing BF Film ceramic tint vs 3M, brands like 3M Crystalline still lead the industry in heat rejection performance, optical clarity and long-term durability. 3M and XPEL also come with stronger warranties and are backed by decades of proven results.

XPEL Carbon tint is a non-metallic carbon-based film that offers solid UV protection, heat rejection and a deep matte-black aesthetic. It's a step up from dyed tints and a more affordable option compared to full ceramic films like XPEL PRIME XR Plus. XPEL Carbon is a great middle-ground choice for drivers who want quality and style without the premium ceramic price tag.

Ceramic window tint cure time is typically 3 to 7 days, depending on weather and humidity. During this period, you may notice minor haziness or small water pockets; this is completely normal and will disappear as the film fully bonds with the glass. We recommend keeping your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days after installation.

Removing old window tint isn't always easy, especially if the film is old, sun-damaged or has separated from the glass. DIY removal often leaves behind sticky adhesive that's tough to clean. Our team safely removes old tint using steam and professional-grade solvents, leaving your glass spotless and ready for a fresh, clean install.

Metalized and reflective film for windows can interfere with cell signals, GPS and toll transponders because they contain metallic particles. Ceramic tint, on the other hand, uses non-metallic nano-ceramic technology that delivers excellent heat rejection without affecting any of your vehicle's electronic signals. This is why we recommend ceramic over metalized or reflective films.

Window tint prices in Burbank vary based on your vehicle type, the number of windows, and the film you choose. Standard dyed tint is the most affordable option, while premium ceramic tints cost more but deliver dramatically better heat rejection and longevity.
