How long does the window tinting process take?

Most window tinting jobs are completed in 1 to 3 hours depending on the vehicle and the package selected. We recommend dropping off in the morning for same-day pickup.

Is window tinting legal in South Carolina?

Yes. South Carolina's sunscreen-device statute (S.C. Code §56-5-5015) was originally enacted in 1978 (Act No. 484) and last materially amended in 1992 (Act No. 462), which set the current 27% VLT minimum on front side windows. We install every vehicle to SC-legal specifications and walk you through every option during your free consultation.

What is PPF and how does it work?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, self-healing film applied to your vehicle's surface. It acts as a shield against rock chips, scratches, UV rays, bugs and road debris. High-quality PPF lasts 5 to 10 years and can be removed without damaging your paint.

Is PPF better than ceramic coating?

PPF offers physical protection against rock chips and scratches — something ceramic coating doesn't do. Ceramic coating, on the other hand, provides hydrophobic gloss and chemical resistance. For full coverage, many car owners choose to combine both.

Do you offer mobile detailing at my home?

Yes. We bring the shop to your driveway across the Upstate region of South Carolina. Our mobile detailers are XPEL-certified, fully insured and use premium products. Most appointments are available within 48 hours and every job is backed by our 'love-it-or-don't-pay' guarantee.

Is there a warranty on your work?

Yes. All window tint packages come with a lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling, cracking and fading. Our XPEL ceramic films and PPF also include a manufacturer-backed warranty. Ceramic coatings carry up to an 8+ year durability guarantee depending on the package.

FAQs

How long does tinting take?

Usually 2–4 hours, depending on the vehicle and package. We don’t rush — clean installs take time and precision. You’ll get an exact time when you book.

Is the film you use going to bubble, peel, or turn purple?

Nope. That’s what happens with cheap, unbranded film — we don’t touch that stuff. We use top-tier XPEL ceramic and nano-ceramic film, backed by real warranties.

Do you tint windshields?

Yes — and we’re offering a free windshield tint with any full package this week. It adds serious heat rejection and glare protection where it matters most.

Is your tint legal? I don’t want to get pulled over.

We’ll walk you through the legal limits for your state and explain what % makes sense for looks and visibility. So no need to worry about any surprise road tickets.

I had a bad experience at another shop. What if something goes wrong?

We get it — a lot of customers come to us after someone else messed it up. If anything’s off, we fix it.

Will this interfere with my phone, GPS, or key fob?

Not at all. Our ceramic films are signal-safe, so your tech stays 100% functional.

Can I get it done same-day?

Sometimes, yeah — especially earlier in the week. But we book up fast, so it’s best to lock in your spot ahead of time.
