What Is Automotive Window Tinting?
Automotive window tinting is the process of applying a darkened plastic film to your vehicle’s windows. This process helps to reduce sun damage on the interior of the car by reducing Visible Light Transference (VLT). Car window tinting levels are rated by their VLT—the higher their VLT percentage, the more visible light they will let into the vehicle. This means if you want darker windows, you’ll want a lower VLT percentage.
Most every vehicle sold in the United States has some amount of window tinting applied to the windows so that drivers can drive safely without sun burning their eyes. Many people come to detailing centers or auto body shops to increase the tint on their windows. Most states have a legal limit on the level of visible light (VL) that the tint blocks out.

There are many technologies and materials that can be used for tinting your vehicle, including:
- Dyed: Dyed window tint is mainly used for aesthetic and privacy purposes.
- Metalized: Metalized tint uses metallic particles that are attached to the windows. These small metal particles reflect the UV radiation away from the interior of the car.
- Hybrid: Hybrid tints take the benefits of dyed and metallic tints to create a perfect combination.
- Carbon: Carbon tints are created with microlayers of carbon and polymer specifically designed to reduce UV radiation and decrease the VLT that enters your vehicle.
- Ceramic: Ceramic tints are the best quality and use the most advanced technology out of the lot. These are a great pairing with a ceramic coating for your entire car.
Automotive Tinting Installation Process
Our tint installers at Auto Salon of Orlando have a very specific installation process that allows us to deliver such incredible results to our customers. This process is as follows.
- Prepare the Windows: First we prepare your window with an ammonia-free glass cleaner, wash the inside and outside of the windows with soapy water, clean the top of the glass, and use sharp edges to scrape off any stubborn grime or dirt.
- Apply the Tint: Next, we use our precision cut system to measure the tint and apply the tint film to your windows. We then repeat this step with the rest of the windows.
In no time, you will have your car back with new tinted windows.
Pro Tips to Tint Your Car’s Windows
With our system, tint application is simple, affordable, and extremely fast. But, if you want to learn how to tint your own windows, we have a couple of tips from our pros that will help the process go as smoothly as possible.
- When cutting the tint film to the window size, we recommend using light pressure so that the blade glides through the film and cutting at a low angle.
- When applying the tint, we recommend spraying soapy water onto the adhesive of the film. This makes positioning the film easier and it doesn’t stick in the wrong place.
- We also recommend rolling the bottom edge of the film up before applying so that the adhesive doesn’t pick up any unwanted dirt or debris.
- Using a heat gun is incredibly helpful when trying to remove air bubbles and water from behind the film. It also helps stretch the film for the perfect fit on every window, including curved windows.
