One-step or multi-step: which does my car need?

It comes down to how deep the defects go. One-step handles light swirls in a single stage of polishing. Multi-step uses several stages for heavier damage.

FAQ

Will I get pulled over for 5 tint in California?

It depends entirely on which windows have 5% tint. If it's your rear side windows and rear windshield, you're completely legal, even in Fresno, and have nothing to worry about.

If your front side windows have 5% tint, yes, you can absolutely be pulled over. Front windows must allow 70% light transmission, making 5% up front one of the most obvious violations an officer will spot. Fresno law enforcement and CHP officers carry tint meters and can measure your VLT on the spot during any traffic stop.

What services do you offer?

We specialize in window tinting, paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coating, paint correction, and vehicle wraps. Whether you’re looking for heat rejection, gloss enhancement, or full protection, we’ve got you covered.

Can I drop off my car early or leave it overnight?

Absolutely. Many customers drop off their cars before work or leave them overnight. Just let us know what works best for your schedule and we’ll accommodate.

Where are you located?

We’re located in Clovis, CA, and proudly serve Fresno and the surrounding Central Valley. Our shop is easy to find, and we’re just minutes away from most parts of Fresno.

How do I get a quote?

You can call, text, or request a quote online in under a minute. We’ll just need your vehicle year, make, model, and what service you’re interested in to get you an accurate estimate.

Do I need an appointment or do you take walk-ins?

We recommend booking an appointment to avoid wait times, but walk-ins are welcome when we have availability. Feel free to call or text us to check for same-day openings.

Should I do anything to my car beforehand?

Yes, we recommend giving your car a basic exterior wash before your appointment. This helps us avoid rubbing dry dirt or dust into the paint when working on your vehicle, which can cause scratching. It also makes it easier for us to get great photos of your car when it’s all done.

Do you have financing options?

Yes. We offer buy now, pay later options through providers like Affirm, Afterpay, and others, so you can split your purchase into easy payments. Just ask us for more details when booking.

Do you work on all types of vehicles?

We work on nearly all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, Teslas, luxury, and exotic cars. It’s rare that we come across something we can’t work on, but if you have a unique vehicle, feel free to reach out and we’ll be happy to confirm.

Are tinted headlights legal in California?

California does have rules covering headlight and taillight tinting. Headlights must emit white or yellow light and taillights must show red, so anything that changes the color or cuts the output too far is a problem.

The films we install are classified as protection films with a slight shade rather than a color-changing tint, which is what keeps them legal in California.

How far you go still matters. A light or medium shade changes the look with only a modest reduction in output, while very dark films noticeably cut brightness on unlit roads. We'll talk through how you drive and recommend a shade that keeps the lights usable at night. See the four tones we carry on our headlight and taillight tinting page.

How long after PPF can I wash my car?

Wait a full seven days after the application before washing your car. That gives the film time to fully cure and bond to the paint.

After that you can wash normally with a pH-neutral soap. Avoid abrasive brushes, harsh chemicals and automatic car washes, which are hard on the edges of the film.

Can you take a car with a ceramic coat through a car wash?

No, it’s best to avoid automated car washes if you have a ceramic-coated vehicle. Automated car washes use recycled water and low-quality brushes that can rub dirt and grit along the ceramic coating, damaging it. It’s best to stick to handwashing only for ceramic-coated vehicles.

What finishes can I choose from?

Gloss black, satin black and matte black are the most popular, and they cover most of what people are after. We carry other finishes too, so if you have something different in mind, ask and we'll show you what's available.

Can I still wash my car normally afterwards?

Yes, once the vinyl has settled. Hand washing is best. Avoid aiming a pressure washer directly at the edges of the trim, and skip automatic brush washes, which are hard on any wrapped surface.

Do you do chrome deletes for Fresno customers?

All the time. We're in Clovis, a short drive from Fresno, and since most chrome deletes take one to three days it's a drop-off job rather than something you'd wait around for.

Is chrome delete permanent? Can it be reversed?

No, it's fully reversible. The vinyl can be removed and your original chrome is still underneath, which is one of the main reasons people choose wrap over paint or powder coating. That matters especially if you lease, or plan to sell later.

How long does a chrome delete take?

Between one and three days, depending on how many pieces are involved and how much trim has to come off the car to wrap properly. A window trim blackout is quick; a full de-chrome with the grille, rails and badges takes longer. We'll confirm the timeline when we quote.

Does tinting headlights reduce light output?

Yes, to a degree, and how much depends entirely on the shade. A light or medium smoke changes the look with only a modest drop in output.
