Automotive Window Tinting
Our automotive window tinting enhances vehicle aesthetics and comfort. Blocking over 99% of UV rays, it protects interiors from fading while reducing glare and heat. We use XPEL Prime films for durability and a lifetime warranty. This service improves privacy and security while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Paint Protection Film
Paint Protection Film (PPF) shields vehicles from chips, scratches, and UV damage. Our XPEL Ultimate PPF self-heals minor scratches and includes a 10-year warranty. It preserves resale value and maintains a showroom finish for both partial and full vehicle coverage.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating protects paint, glass, and plastic surfaces with hydrophobic properties. XPEL Fusion Plus resists UV rays, acid rain, and light scratches while enhancing gloss. It eliminates waxing needs and lasts up to four years with proper maintenance.
Commercial Window Tinting
Commercial window films reduce energy costs by up to 50% through thermal insulation. They block UV rays, balance temperatures, and enhance security. Decorative options add privacy and aesthetics to office spaces while offering a fast return on investment.
Residential Window Tinting
Residential window films cut cooling costs by up to 50% and reduce glare by 87%. They block 99.9% of UV rays to protect furnishings and family health. Decorative films add style while improving energy efficiency and glass safety.

I had a gift certificate for car detailing. I can not adequately express the level of perfection blackout tinting achieved in my 4+ year old car. The claybar on the body, the wheels and tires, the leather and carpet are gleaming. I am so sad to hear they are no longer offering detail service. Please reconsider your decision. No one does it like blackout!!
