Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our window tinting services.

General Questions

Most standard vehicles take 2-4 hours for complete window tinting. Ceramic coatings and complex installations may take 4-6 hours. We provide accurate time estimates when you book your appointment.

Yes, window tinting is legal in Hawaii. The legal VLT (Visible Light Transmission) requirements vary by window: front side windows must allow at least 35% of light through, rear windows can have darker tint. We only use films that comply with Hawaii state regulations.

Our premium ceramic films are specifically designed not to interfere with electronic signals. Unlike older metallic films, ceramic tints allow radio, GPS, Bluetooth, and cell phone signals to pass through without disruption.

We recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours before rolling down your windows. This allows the adhesive to cure properly. Rolling down windows too soon can cause the film to peel or bubble.

Film Types & Benefits

Dyed Films: Most affordable option. Good for aesthetics and basic heat reduction but may fade over time.

Metallic Films: Better heat rejection than dyed films but can interfere with electronics and have a more reflective appearance.

Ceramic Films: Premium option. Maximum heat rejection, UV protection, and clarity. No signal interference. Best for Hawaii's climate.

Heat rejection varies by film type. Our ceramic IR films can reject up to 65% of solar heat energy. This means your vehicle's interior stays significantly cooler, reducing the load on your air conditioning system.

Yes, quality window films block 99% of harmful UV rays. This protects your skin from sun damage and prevents your vehicle's interior from fading and cracking. UV protection is one of the most important benefits of window tinting.
