Window Tinting FAQ
1. What is the difference between Carbon and Ceramic tint? Carbon tint provides great looks and moderate heat rejection. However, Ceramic tint contains nano-ceramic particles that block a much higher percentage of Infrared (IR) heat, making it the most effective film for temperature control in the Midwest heat.
2. Is window tinting legal in Illinois? Yes. Illinois law currently allows up to 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on all side and rear windows for passenger cars. For SUVs and vans, the rules vary for rear windows. We ensure your installation keeps you both stylish and legally compliant.
3. How long does the installation take? Most professional tint installations at The Wrench Shack take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the number of windows and the specific complexity of your vehicle’s glass.
4. Can I roll my windows down immediately? No. We recommend waiting 3 to 5 days before rolling down your windows. This allows the moisture used during installation to fully evaporate and the adhesive to create a permanent bond.
5. Will the tint interfere with my rear defroster? Not at all. Our high-quality Kepler films are designed to be applied over defroster lines without affecting their functionality or the integrity of the film.
6. Does window tint go on the inside or outside? The film is custom-cut and heat-shrunk on the outside of the glass to match the curvature, but it is permanently applied to the inside of the window to protect it from the elements and wear.
7. Why do I see small bubbles or a hazy look right after installation? This is a normal part of the curing process known as "water blistering." These tiny pockets of moisture will disappear as the film cures, usually within one week depending on sun exposure.
8. Do you offer a warranty on your work? Absolutely. Our premium ceramic films come with a Lifetime Warranty against bubbling, peeling, delamination, and fading (turning purple), giving you total peace of mind for the life of your vehicle.
