Ceramic Window Tint Is Powerful Against UV Rays
Ceramic window tint is a powerful shield against harmful UV rays and keeps your car cool. However, like any other car part, it requires proper maintenance.
How to Care for Newly Applied Ceramic Film
A ceramic coating protects a vehicle from road grime, bird droppings, and tree sap by repelling water and contaminants. This makes washing
your car much easier, but it is important to follow proper maintenance techniques to keep the protective layer intact.
Washing your vehicle with harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, or automatic car washes can degrade the ceramic coating. It is recommended to wash your car at least every two weeks using a pH-neutral shampoo and gentle washing tools to avoid scratching the surface.
Using a quality microfiber towel or mitt helps to agitate and loosen dirt, preventing scratches. It is also important to rinse and dry your vehicle well after each washing to minimize water spots.
A ceramic coating booster spray is an excellent product to help replenish the hydrophobic properties lost through normal use. This will restore a ceramic coating’s shine and protection, keeping your vehicle looking its best.
Metalized Window Tint
Infused with ceramic nanoparticles, this tint is non-metallic and conductive. It provides high levels of UV protection and IR rejection without sacrificing visibility. It also prevents the excessive heat from causing electronic systems in your vehicle to malfunction or degrade.
It’s a great way to protect your upholstery and avoid UV fading while keeping the interior of your car cool. It can even help you cut down on excessive air conditioning usage and save money in the long run!
It also helps reduce the blinding light from the sun that can cause driver fatigue and vision impairment. This can be especially helpful when navigating traffic on McHenry Avenue or driving through the almond orchards on Yosemite Boulevard. It also provides a level of privacy, making it harder for others to see inside your vehicle. It is color stable and does not fade over time.
Clear Films
All urethane films go through a breathing process during which time you might notice small water bubbles, haze or condensation under the film. This is normal and will evaporate out along with the adhesive curing process over the weeks to come. The warmer weather will speed up this process.
To keep the clear film clean we recommend using pH-neutral car wash soap with a microfiber wash mitt or squeegee. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or sponges as they may scratch the clear film. Regular dusting and waxing will help to keep the film’s finish glossy. Be sure to use a non-abrasive carnuba-based wax that does not contain added dyes to avoid damaging the film’s self-healing layer.
Carbon and ceramic window tints offer the highest levels of IR heat rejection, UV protection and visibility. Though more expensive than dyed films, these premium choices are less prone to bubbling and fading over time, which makes them a good investment for Chicago drivers.
Chameleon Films
Chameleon Film combines style with protection by blocking UV rays and cutting glare while enhancing your car’s look. This innovative glass tint changes color, blending in with your vehicle’s exterior to create a unique appearance and offering advanced protection and privacy.
Unlike traditional window films, the chameleon tint allows 80% of light through your windshield so you can still see out and enjoy your drive. The chameleon tint also protects against harmful UV rays and reduces the amount of heat that enters your vehicle, extending the life of your interiors.
