Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does shipping take? +
A: Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days. Delivery times vary by location: Northeast (NY, NJ, CT, PA) receives orders in 2-3 days, most other US locations in 3-5 business days. You'll receive tracking information via email once your order ships.
Q: What's the difference between ceramic, carbon, and dyed window film? +
A: Ceramic film offers the highest heat rejection (up to 97% infrared) and UV protection using nano-ceramic technology with zero signal interference—ideal for premium installations. Carbon film provides excellent heat rejection and UV protection without fading, at a mid-range price point. Dyed film is the most economical option, offering privacy and glare reduction for budget-conscious customers.
Q: How much film do I need for my vehicle? +
A: Window tint typically requires 10-15 feet of film for a sedan, 15-20 feet for an SUV. For PPF, a full front coverage (hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors) requires approximately 15-20 feet depending on vehicle size. Pre-cut kits are sized specifically for your vehicle make and model. If unsure, contact us for guidance or consider ordering slightly more than estimated.
Q: What's the difference between paint protection film (PPF) and vinyl wraps? +
A: Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear or glossy film designed to protect your vehicle's paint from rock chips, scratches, and UV damage while maintaining the original color. Vinyl wraps are used to change your vehicle's appearance with custom colors, finishes, or graphics. PPF protects, vinyl wraps customize—many customers use both together.
Q: How do I choose the right window tint shade (VLT percentage)? +
A: VLT (Visible Light Transmission) indicates how much light passes through—lower numbers mean darker tint. Common choices: 5% (limo dark), 20% (dark), 35% (medium), 50% (light). Check your state's legal limits: most allow 70% on front windshield strip, 35-50% on front side windows, and any darkness on rear windows. We recommend 20-35% for rear windows and 35-50% for front sides in most states.
