No — any prices shown online are starting estimates to help you plan. Every vehicle, glass curve, paint condition, and existing film setup is different, so we confirm your exact price in person before any work begins.

Submit the online quote form with your vehicle year, make, model, and desired services, or call/text 302-661-1500. For automotive work, we arrange a quick evaluation at 2800 Kirkwood Hwy; for commercial and residential glass, we measure and survey your windows to provide a firm quote.

Yes! Many drivers combine ceramic window tinting with front-end Paint Protection Film (PPF), ceramic coating, vinyl roof/chrome deletes, wheels & tires, or remote start in a single coordinated drop-off.

Never. Our in-person evaluation at 2800 Kirkwood Hwy is completely free and lets you see physical film shades and vinyl swatches next to your vehicle before making a decision.

Carbon film provides a clean matte look, 99% UV block, and dependable solar and glare control without metallic signal interference. Ceramic film targets infrared heat wavelengths, blocking significantly more cabin heat across every shade from 5% Limo to 70% Crystal Clear.

VLT (Visible Light Transmission) measures the percentage of visible light that passes through the film. A lower number like 5% or 15% is darker with higher exterior privacy, 35% is a balanced medium shade, and 50% or 70% offers a lighter, factory-style appearance that still blocks UV and infrared heat when using ceramic film. You can preview all 5 shades on our homepage Interactive Tint Visualizer.

We use a digital computer plotter to cut patterns tailored to your vehicle’s exact year, make, and model, and we heat-form rear windshields in a single seamless piece. That keeps knife blades off your glass and rubber window seals.

Yes. We use controlled heat and steam to release old film and dissolve adhesive residue carefully around rear defroster lines before prepping the glass for new film or returning it to stock clarity.

Keep your windows rolled up for the first 3 to 5 days so the film’s adhesive sets cleanly inside the seals. A slight moisture haze or tiny water pockets are completely normal during the first 1 to 2 weeks and evaporate automatically as the film cures in the sun.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thick, optically clear, self-healing urethane film that physically stops rock chips, road debris, and scratches. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to paint (or on top of PPF) to create a slick, hydrophobic, UV-resistant surface that beads water and makes washing effortless—but does not stop physical rock impacts on its own. Many owners install PPF on high-impact front panels and ceramic coat the entire vehicle.

When quality cast vinyl is installed over healthy, factory-cured paintwork and removed properly within its service life, it is completely paint-safe and actually shields the underlying paint from sun fade and minor road wear.

Every coating and PPF install begins with a thorough wash, iron decontamination, and clay prep. If your paint has swirl marks, light scratches, or oxidation, we inspect it under shop lighting and recommend the right machine polishing step so we lock in a clean, glossy finish.

Hand washing with a pH-neutral automotive shampoo and clean microfiber mitts is always best. Avoid abrasive automatic brush car washes, and keep high-pressure washer nozzles at a safe distance and angle from film and wrap edges.

Some appointments require a deposit to reserve bay time and order specialty films, wraps, or wheel packages. We always confirm any deposit requirement with you before scheduling your date.
