Asked Questions About Window Tinting
1.
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.
Reject up to 82 percent of the sun’s total solar energy
Block out almost 100 percent of harmful and damaging ultraviolet
Reduced interior heat
Reduced utility costs
Improved occupant comfort
Reduced glare. Great when driving at night with headlights in your
rear window.
Increased privacy also means increased security. What a thief can’t
see, he won’t steal.
Extended air conditioning equipment life
Increased fade protection
Added protection from accidents, storms and burglars
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: Go to the link
for tint laws.
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
simulator on this site.

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 4209 Spring Cress Drive,
Columbia, MO 65202.
