WHY CERAMIC FILM
Dark Does Not Mean Cool
Most people assume darker tint means a cooler car. It does not. Cheap dyed film blocks visible light but very little infrared, which is what actually heats the cabin. You get a dark car that is still hot inside, and within 2 summers the dye breaks down and the film turns purple.
Ceramic film uses nano ceramic particles to reject infrared heat while staying optically clear. A light ceramic tint keeps a cabin cooler than a much darker dyed film, blocks 99% of UV so your dash and leather stop fading, and does not interfere with your phone, GPS or tire sensors the way metallic film can.
Aftercare
Curing and Care
Tint needs time to cure before it looks finished. For the first 3 to 5 days you may see haze, small water pockets or a slight cloudiness, and that is moisture behind the film drying out. It clears on its own. Follow the 3 rules below and the film stays flat and clear for its full life.
01
WINDOWS
Don’t roll them down for 3 days. The film needs to bond to the glass first.
02
CLEAN
Ammonia free cleaner and a soft microfibre. Ammonia destroys tint adhesive.
03
EDGES
Don’t pick at a bubble or an edge. If something is still there after a week, bring it in.

WHAT TINT IS LEGAL IN ONTARIO?
Ontario requires the front side windows to let more than 70% of light through, and the windshield cannot be tinted below the AS1 line. Rear side windows and the back glass have no legal limit, which is why most people go dark in the back and light or clear at the front. We tint to the legal standard and will tell you exactly what applies to your vehicle.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CERAMIC AND REGULAR TINT?
Regular dyed film blocks visible light for privacy but very little heat, and the dye breaks down over a couple of summers, which is what causes the purple fade. Ceramic film rejects infrared heat and 99% of UV while staying optically clear, and it does not interfere with phone signal, GPS or tire pressure sensors.
HOW LONG DOES WINDOW TINT LAST?
Quality ceramic film lasts the life of the vehicle in normal use. Cheap dyed film typically starts fading, bubbling or turning purple within 2 to 3 Ontario summers. What kills tint early is ammonia based glass cleaner, so the cleaner you use matters more than the film’s age.
CAN YOU REMOVE OLD TINT?
Yes. Old film that has bubbled or gone purple has to come off before new film goes on, and it is a slow job because the adhesive bakes onto the glass over time. Rear defroster lines need particular care. We quote removal separately once we see the condition of the existing film.
HOW LONG WILL MY CAR BE IN THE SHOP?
Most tint jobs are same day, usually 2 to 4 hours depending on how many windows and how complex the rear glass is. Full vehicle ceramic including a windshield strip and sunroof can run into the next day. Removal of old film adds time.
WILL TINT AFFECT MY REAR DEFROSTER?
No. Film goes over the defroster lines and does not interfere with them, as long as it is installed and removed properly. Damage to defroster lines almost always comes from someone scraping old film off with a blade rather than lifting it with heat.
