The tint law in Arizona prohibits the installation of red or amber colored tint on any vehicle. A popular combination is having 35% installed on the front two windows, and 15% installed on the rear windows.
How dark can tint be in Arizona?
The tint law in Arizona allows a maximum of 33% (AZ Legal) for the front side windows, any darkness can be used for the rear side windows, and any darkness for the rear glass.
Are plotter cut patterns the best?
While plotters can produce accurate tint patterns, they are best for reducing labor, and shortening the learning curve for inexperienced installers. We custom cut the tint to get the most accurate patterns, and for maximum coverage.
Can tint be applied over factory privacy glass?
Yes, factory privacy glass is not window tint, and is just darkened privacy glass that comes stock on a variety of trucks and SUVs. Since the coloring is inside the glass itself, it can only be darkened by applying a tint right over it. Most factory tint (privacy glass) ranges between 15%-25%.
How long does it take to tint a car?
Most two and four door vehicles take about 2-3 hours to complete and SUV's take 3 hours or more. We take all the necessary precautions to obtain a clean installation. During the process some windows may not meet our standards and are redone adding extra time to the install process.
I found a cheaper, lower price. Why do you charge more?
Some important things to consider are the quality of the tint, and the installation. Basic, low-grade tint provides minimal heat & UV rejection, and have drastically shorter life spans. ProLine Window Tint only installs top-grade ceramic, and carbon tint that offers maximum heat rejection, and a Lifetime Warranty.
Does window tint go on the inside or the outside of the glass?
Window film is fitted and heat formed to the outside of the glass. Once finished off, the glass is prepped clean and the film is installed on the inside of the windows.
What can I use to clean my tinted windows?
To clean your windows it is best to use a soft micro-fiber cloth with mild soap mixed with water or a glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia.
How long until I can roll down my windows?
We recommend keeping your windows closed for 2 days.
What does the percentage mean in a 35% VLT tint?
A 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) film will allow 35% of visible light through your windows, into your vehicle. A 5% VLT film is very dark, and will only allow 5% of visible light to pass through your windows.
