FAQ:
What is legal limit of tint in NZ?
In New Zealand, the legal visible light transmission (VLT) for front side windows must be at least 35%, meaning the tint cannot block more than 65% of light. For further in details regarding legality, please visit: what is the legal limit of car window tinting?
How long should I wait before rolling down my windows after tinting?
We recommend waiting at least 3-5 days before rolling your windows down. This gives the film time to properly cure and bond to the glass, preventing peeling or bubbling.
What’s the difference between carbon tint and ceramic tint?
Carbon Tint: Offers great heat and UV protection at an affordable price, with a sleek matte finish.
Ceramic Tint: Provides superior infrared rejection, UV blocking, and clarity, while being non-metallic

Can tinted windows help with privacy and security?
Yes. Darker tints make it harder for outsiders to see inside your vehicle, which increases privacy and can also deter theft by concealing valuables.
Why does my tint have bubbles, what should I do?
Small water bubbles are completely normal right after installation. This happens because the slip solution used to apply the film needs time to evaporate. These bubbles will usually disappear within 1–2 weeks as the tint cures. For further information regarding what type of bubbles do you have please visit: why does my car window film have bubbles?
