Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Everything you need to know about tinting in Buffalo Grove
Is window tinting legal in Illinois?
Yes. For most passenger vehicles in Illinois, you can have a 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on all side and rear windows. If you have a medical condition that requires darker tint, we can help guide you on the necessary certification.
How long does the installation take?
Most professional installations at our shop take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the vehicle and the number of windows being tinted. We recommend dropping your car off, but we are conveniently located near local shops if you prefer to wait!
Can I roll my windows down right away?
We recommend keeping your windows rolled up for 3 to 5 days after installation. This allows the adhesive to fully cure and ensures a perfect, bubble-free bond to the glass.
Will the tint interfere with my GPS or Cell Signal?
If you choose our Premium Ceramic or Nano-Ceramic options, no. Unlike older metallic films, ceramic technology is “signal-friendly,” meaning it won’t interfere with your GPS, Bluetooth, or keyless entry signals.
How do I clean my new window tint?
It’s easy! Just use a soft microfiber cloth and a non-ammonia glass cleaner. Ammonia can break down the film over time, so we always recommend “tint-safe” cleaners to keep your windows looking brand new.
Does window tint help in the winter?
Actually, yes! While people think of tint for the summer heat, it also acts as an extra layer of insulation in the winter, helping to retain the cabin heat and making your drive more comfortable during those Lake County winters.
