How Tint Works

Light is the variable.
VLT controls everything.

VLT — Visible Light Transmission — is the percentage of visible light a film allows through. Lower VLT means darker tint and more heat rejection.

Heat Science

It's not just shade.
It's thermal engineering.

Nano-ceramic film works differently from dyed film — it reflects and absorbs infrared radiation rather than just blocking visible light.

Real Orange County drivers. Real results.

Best ceramic tint job I've ever had. The crew was professional, done in under 2 hours, and my car is noticeably cooler inside. The panoramic roof film is incredible — zero heat, full view.
