Window tinting
in Orange County
Nano-ceramic film that blocks up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV. Plotter cut to your exact glass, installed in our Santa Ana studio, and backed by ticket protection so a citation is our problem instead of yours.
Shade you can feel.
Drag the line. Same car, same glass, one of them filmed in nano-ceramic.
The reason people
tint in Orange County
Heat comes from infrared, not from how dark the glass looks. That is why a cheap dark film still leaves the cabin baking. Nano-ceramic blocks the infrared instead, so the car heats up slower while parked and the AC catches up faster when you get in.
On a black interior in August you feel it the first week. On an EV you also spend less battery on cooling, because the AC pulls straight from the pack.
- Up to 98% infrared heat rejection
- 99% of UV blocked, so the interior stops fading
- No metal, so 5G, GPS and toll tags work normally
- Never turns purple
Pick your percentage
Tap a shade to see roughly how much light it lets through, and where it is allowed. Front windows run 70%, which is a clear film. Behind the driver there is no limit and no minimum.
Get a tint ticket?
We handle it.
Here is how it works. If you get a qualifying tint citation on film we installed, we cover the ticket and re-tint the car to a compliant shade at no charge to you. You do not eat the fine and you do not pay twice for film. We go over the terms with you before your car goes in, so nothing is a surprise later.

before we cut it
Spin a real vehicle, flip through tint shades from 5% to 70%, and look at the car from every angle before anything touches your glass. Send us the build you like and it becomes your quote.

Film is unforgiving. A single speck of dust that lands while the glass is wet is sealed under there forever, and wind and sunlight fight you the whole way through a job. That is why every car we tint goes into a controlled indoor bay in Santa Ana, on a plotter cut pattern for your exact model, by the same crew every day.

- Plotter cut patterns, no hand cutting on your glass
- Most cars finished the same day
From quote to keys,
step by step
Most bad tint jobs die at one of five steps. Here is how each one goes when it's done right, so you know what you're paying for before you pay for it.
Quote & booking
You tell us the year, make, model and the look you're after. You get a number for that exact car and a slot where the bay is reserved for it. We don't stack cars in a lot and race the clock.
Pattern, not blade
Your film is cut on a plotter from a pattern for your exact glass before the car is touched. No freehand knife work on your windows, no cut lines in the rubber, no shrunk-short film hoping to pass.
Glass prep
Every window is clayed and cleaned twice, because anything left on the glass lives under the film forever. This is the step driveway installers skip, and it's why their work peels from the corners.
The install
Indoors, dust-controlled, one car at a time. Edges wrapped to the seal line, dot-matrix borders handled properly, heat-shrunk to compound-curve rear glass in one piece.
Cure & aftercare
You drive home the same day with two rules: windows stay up for a couple of days, and the light haze you might see is water finishing its exit. It is normal, temporary, and gone within days. After that, wash it like normal glass.
If anything's off
A speck, a lifted edge, a shade that reads darker than you pictured. Bring it back. We look at it with you and make it right. The warranty is on the work, not just the film.
Tinting cars across
Orange County
Santa Ana sits in the middle of the county, so most of Orange County is a short drive away. These are the cities we see most.
Irvine & Tustin
Our closest neighbors and a big share of the Teslas we tint. Usually ten to fifteen minutes away.
Newport Beach & Costa Mesa
Coastal sun is relentless on leather interiors. A lot of the ceramic and full windshield work we do comes from here.
Anaheim & Orange
North on the 5 and the 57. Family cars with rear seat passengers who want the back glass dark.
Huntington Beach, Lake Forest & Yorba Linda
A bit further out, and worth the trip for a car you are keeping. Book ahead and we will have the bay ready when you arrive.
Straight answers
70% on the front doors, which is a clear film that still blocks heat and 99% of UV. Behind the driver there is no limit and no minimum, so 20% or 5% is entirely your call. Full detail on our California tint law page.
On film we installed, we cover the ticket and re-tint the car to a compliant shade at no charge. Ask us for the terms before your car goes in so you know exactly what is covered.
A full car is usually a few hours. Adding a glass roof or a windshield makes it most of a day. Removing old film adds time on top of that.
We tint cars from across Orange County, including Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Anaheim, Orange, Huntington Beach, Lake Forest and Yorba Linda. The studio is in Santa Ana and the work happens here.
No. Ceramic film has no metal in it, so 5G, GPS, Bluetooth and toll transponders all work normally.
Yes. We strip the film and adhesive without damaging defroster lines, then install fresh film on clean glass. Mention it when you book so we allow the time.
Three to five days while the film cures. A little haze or a few small water pockets early on are normal and disappear as it dries.
