What are the benefits of ceramic window tinting?

In Washington State, there are specific regulations for window tinting.

How do I care for my newly tinted windows?

After window tint installation, it's crucial to allow the film to cure properly. We recommend keeping the windows rolled up for at least 3-5 days. For cleaning, use a soft cloth and an ammonia-free window cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, especially during the initial curing period, to prevent damage to the film.
