Our Auto Window Tinting Installation Process

1.

Cleaning & Surface Preparation

First, we thoroughly clean your car’s windows using high-quality glass cleaners and microfiber cloths.

2.

Precision Laser Cutting

Using laser cutting technology, we measure and precisely cut the tint film to fit your specific vehicle model.

3.

Tint Film Application

Once the film is cut, our professional installers apply it carefully, using specialized squeegees to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth, even finish.

4.

Detailed Edge Sealing

After applying the film, we seal the edges with a heat gun and specialized tools to ensure a clean finish. This step prevents peeling and enhances the durability of the tint.

5.

Final Inspection & Clean-Up

After the tinting, we conduct a thorough inspection to check for imperfections. We then clean the tinted surfaces with non-abrasive cloths, ensuring a spotless finish before returning your vehicle.
